SERIOUS RATLWAY ACCIDENT.
No One Killed Outright, But Thirty Peo-
pie Were Injured.

CUYAHOGA FALLS. o.. July 2.-The
second section Of the Baltimore and Ohio
express. west bound. was wrecked one
mile east Of Munroe Falls about 4:3O this
morning. Spreading OF rails caused the
wreck at a point where there is short
curve in the track. Five Of the coaches,
loaded with passengers. most Of whom
were on their way to Chicago, were
thrown down ten-foot embankment.
Nobody was killed outright but thirty
were injured. five thought seriously. All
OF the malmed were taken 10 Akron by
n special train and sent to the city hOspi-
tai. About a dozen doctors from Akron
went down with them. The special train
bearing the injured from Munroe Falls
reached Akron about $50. All the am
huiances in the city were AT the depot
and the injured were conveyed as speedily
as possible to the city hospital. where
they received the attention Of a score Of
physicians.
IL is impossible at this time to state
how many Of those hurt will die. or how
serious all their injuries are. Twenty
persons from Baltimore. Philadelphia and
Washington. ID. c.. are at the hospital
some slightly and some seriously injured.
+. O. Stats, Vienna, Fairfax county, Va,
is also at the hospital injured internally.
When the cars left the track many Of
the passengers were asleep. The last
coach was the most seriously wrecked
as Il jumped the rails where the curve
was sharpest and plunged along ties about
fifty yards before tumbling down en-
bankment. Seats and timbers we're piled
promiscuously on the imprisoned passen-
gers Fortunately for them there was

would have been a repetition Of the horri-
BILE Ravenna disaster Of July 3, 1891. il
IS impossible 10 tell exactly what caused
the spreading OF the rails-pr0baly the
heavy trains which the Baltimore and
Ohio has been running TO handle Worlds
Fair traffic.
10 Is generally agreed that the tender OF
the second engine Ohe train consisted of
ten coaches drawn by two engines) was
the first 20 leave the track. one theory
is that II loosened the rail bolts. which
then allowed the rails to spread as heavy
cars came along.
