STRUCK THEM.
Woman and Children Killed
On a Grade Crossing.
Had No thought Of Dangef--Bodies
Carried a Long Distance.

BrrFALo, Oct lb-Dorothy, aged II.
and Elplly, aged 5, daughters of John n.
scatcherd. and Miss Emily b. 5. Woods,
aged 10, slster-in-law Of Mr.. Scstcherd,
were strrYck and killed by freight engine
on the New York CentsSl belt line at the
? Parkside crossing yesterday afternoon.
Early I'm the afternoon Miss Woods,
who lived with Mr.. Scatcherd's family
had one of Mr. Scatcherds 5 spirited horses
hitohed up and took the two little girls
out TO call on friend. Mrs. Ball. The
party reached their destination i'm snfety
and spent an hour with the Ball family.
When they started 10 return, the wind had
grown very cold and curtains We're placed
on the buggy.
They drove down Depew avenue 60 Park
side avenue, and then made a short turn
20 cross the belt line. The wind was
blowins a gale from the northwest, and a
heavy freight train was coming from the
east. Tho train was drawn by big
mogul engine. 1t is probable that Miss
Woods did not hear the train, and IL is
certain that she could not ses 1t, because of
Che side on the buggy.
Just as the buggy was on the track the
great engine struck it. The horse was in
stantly killed and tossed TO one side. The
box OF the buggy stood the shock and re-
mained on the pilot. Before the engineer
could stop the engine the train had
reached Colyin street, which Is about q
quarter OF q mile from Parkside. The
buggy box remained on the pilot during
all the distance. When the train was
finally stopped the woman and the two
little girls were found in the bottom OF
Che box In
A sieksning. Bloody Pile.
The engineer summoned help and the
buggy box was lifted from the pilot.
Dorothy, the 1l-year-old girl, was dead.
She was on the side nearest the engine and
received the full force of the blow. Miss
Woods and little Emily were unconscious.
Doctors were summoned from all direc-
tions. II was found that all three had
been hit on the left side of the head and
that all three had their skulls fractured.
Little Emily died ia about two hours
after removal 10 the Glenny house Miss
Woods was taken to the general hospital.
She died shortly afterward.
The crossing Is dangerous one. There
q no fsgman there. This portion of the
city fs newly built up, and there are not
many houses in the vicinity. The en-
kineer claims that he blew his whistle and
rang his bell and reversed his engine, but
was unable 10 stop until he reached Colvin
street. This story is corroborated by a
boy who saw the accident
Mr.. Scatcherd, who was ut the Country
club, not far from the scene of the acci-
dent at the time 10 occurred, is prostrated.
Mrs. Scatcherd is visiting in Simcoe,
Ont, and has not been notified of her be.

boy and girl.
