Ten Killed in a Collision Between an

Ten Killed in Collision Between an
Express and Freight Train.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 1O.-Ten persons were
killed and twenty injured by the wrecking
of the Paris and Cologne express train
yesterday. The accident happened at
Apilly, and was caused by collision OF
the express train with freight train
which was being sbunted. The engineer
saw the danger ahead and reversed his
engine. This had the effect Of reducing
the speed and rendering the accident less
severe than It would otherwise have been.
AS it was, the wreck was very disastrous
one
A passenger on the train who escaped
with slight injuries says that the shock Of
the collision was terrific, and that the
forward cars were reduced almost to
atoms. The bodies of the victims were
badly mutilated, and in some cases the
head was severed from the trunk.
1t is reported that the station master a
Apilly, on seeing that collision was in
evitable, jumped in front of the express
train and was killed.

train passed through the tunnel, filling 1t
with smoke. A second east bound freight
train was allowed to enter the tunnel con-
trary to the rules of the road, and, the en-
gineer being unable on account of dense
smoke left by the passage of the express,
to distinguish the lights Of the train from
the electric lights on the walls of the tun-
mel, crashed into 1t. A most horrible dis
aster was the result, both trains being
badly wrecked. The tunnel was block
