A Train Crashes Into the Rear

Dle-It Was the Engineers Fault.
New Orleans Oct. 16. - Engineer
Simpson. of the East Louisiana rail-
road, is responsible for frightful ac-
cident that occurred this morning at
the crossing of the Louisville & Nash
vile and Northwestern roads, about
two miles from where the Louisville
&Nashville road leaves Elysianfields
street-an accident that will, in all
probability result in at least one IA
tality, while a score of passengers Oh
the Louisville L. Nashville received
severe injuries.
The Louisville & Nashville across
the-lake" excursion train, consisting
Of eight coaches we'll loaded with
pleasure seekers, large proportion Of
them being women and children,
pulled out on time. As the train ap-
preached the crossing of the North
western tracks Engineer Hanley
whistled, as the law requires. He
then gave the signal to 60 ahead, and
proceeded across the tracks of the
Northwestern. The Louisiana train.
carrying eXcursionists to points in
Saint Tammany parish, was booming
along its tracks, and with q shrill
whistle for "down brakes" it crashed
into the sixth coach vi the Louisville
& Nashville train. The collision threw
crowded coach completely into the
ditch, while the attacking engine was
derailed and buried lis nose several
feet in the soft mud. Passengers on
the East Louisiana train were un-
injured except by the shock Of the
collision. Not so With the coast ex-
cursi0n, however. Just before the iron
monster struck the coach several Of
the passengers saw it coming and q
panic cnsued. There was 9 wild rush
to escape from the doomed coach, but
before one of the passengers could
reach either platform the approaching
engine had struck and the coach with
its live freight was hurled from the
tracks into the ditch. Women and
children shrieked in their terror,
while men fought their way blindly
for some escape from the coach. Seats
were torn up and hurled in every d.
rection by the force of the collision,
and after the first wild panic had SUBJ
sided there were heard piteous means
from different quarters of the wreck,
telling of painful injuries. Willing
hands went to work and within q
short time the wounded ones had
been taken from the coach and made
as comfortable as circumstances
would permit. The greatest indigna-
tion and anger prevailed among the
witnesses of the collision against
Engineer Simpson, who had ruthless
ly disregarded the law requiring him
to stop, and had caused the frightful
wreck. Inquiry developed the fact
that Simpson had escaped to the
