Ran into A FREIGHT.
Washington Express Meets with a
smash-Up at Portchester.
Three Men Injured, One Of Whom
May Die.
Two Cars Burned-Slceping Car
Passengers Frightened.

PORTCHESTER, n. Y, April R.-The
alleged carelessness of a switchman
caused a rear-end collision between the
Washington express and a freight train
in the New Haven yards at 800 O'Clock
this morning.
The express train was known as the
Washington Express, No. 81. 1t con-
sisted of seven cars. including three
s!eepers. and was drawn by engine No.
l3I. Engineer Dan Magee being in charge.
The train left Boston at $50 o'clock last
evening. 1t was considerably behind

count of the weather and the slippery
condition of the rails.
The freight train was known as Extra

the engineer in charge.
The collision occurred when the eX-
press train was half a mile east. of this
place opposite the freight yard. The
freight train was going at the rate OF
twelve miles an hour ana the express
very much faster when, owing, as 1t Is
claimed, to the improper manipulation
Of a switch, the locomotive was thrown
on the track on which the freight train
was running.
This is believed by railroad officials to
have been due to the mistake OF T.. A.
Hennion, the operator in the switch
ever, is to be sifted thoroughly, and the
blame will be placed where it properly
belongs.
Engineer Magee shut off steam and re-
versed his engine, but his locomotive
plunged into the caboose of the freight
and hurled it from the track with
another car. Fireman CARNEY Jumped
from the engine and was somewhat
bruised. The caboose caught fire from
the broken headlight of the locomotive
and the two derailed cars were DESTROYED
by the flames. The express locomotive
was almost disabled and its smokestack
was torn off.
Conductor j. II. Sinclair. of the freight
train, in jumping from the cab9ose, was
bruised about the hips and had his right
arm badly injured. He was taken to the
Portchester Hospital. 1t is said he may
die. His brakeman, James flsher, was
