a CRASH AT PHILADELPHIA.
Three Persons Killed and Twelve In
iured in a Collision

jured in a Collision.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The southern
express on the Pennsylvania road, which
left the Broad street station at 1875 o'clock
this morning, collided with the Morton ac-
commodation train near the South street
station, in West Philadelphia. Three cars
OF the accommodation train were wrecked,
three persons killed and twelve others in~
lured. The injured we're removed to the
Presbyterian hospital. A rumor gained
wide circulation that special train bear
ing President Harrison from Washington
to New York was one OF the trains in collis-
ion. This, however, was untrue The
Presidents special passed through here for
New Yorkon about schedule time.
HOW IT OCCURRED.
The local train was crossing q switch 70
pull into the station. All the cars but the
last one had crossed when the express came
rushing down the track and struck the
local passenger car that was upon the
switch full In the middle. The express was
made up entirely Of heavy Pullmans and
the light passenger car was hurled fifty
feet from the track, broken and smashed by
the force OF the blow. The express train
escaped injury and the engineer immedi-
ately stopped his train. The Twenty-6rst
district police station is but a few squares
from the place where the accident
occurred and a squad of officers was
soon on the scene and the work
Of extricating the injured passengers
was soon accomplished. The killed and in
jured we're confined to the third car of the
accommodation and this was completely
wrecked. Four persons were killed and ten
injured. OF the injured none are danger
ously hurt. The killed are: Mr.. and Mrs.
E. L. Minson of Media, Mass. Maria Read
of Media and Rev. James Walker of Lynn.
The injured were all residents of suburban
places.
President Harrison was on his special
train following the express. His train was
delayed about half an hour and then pro-
ceeded to New York.
Tn tracks Of the central division and
main line cross at this point, the formers
trains running into the Thirty-second and
Chestnut street station and the latter's run
ming into the Broad street station. The ac-
commodation had the right Of way, the
express being blocked, but owing to the
slippery condition of the tracks the engineer
of the express was unable to control his
train and the locomotive crashed into the
accommodation.
No one on the express was injured, and
the engine was damaged so slightly that it
proceeded to New York with the train half
an hour afterward when the tracks had
been cleared.
Both Mr.. Mintzer and his wife were de.
capitated. Their 10-year-old son, who was
sitting in the seat with his mother, was un-
hurt,
