SIXTY DEAD OR INJURED.
terrible Result of q Collision on q
hallway Near the Village
of ADiIiy.

Paris. Sept 1O.-In a disaster to the
parls and Cologne express train at Apil-
~ between NoyOn and Chuny yesterday,
between forty to sixty persons were
Killed or injured. Twelve dead bodies
have already been taken from the wreck.
The minister OF public works, M. Barthou,
and number of railways officials have
gone TO the scene of the accident. 1t is
definitely stated that the accident was
due to the slow shunting of a freight
train at APPLY. The engineer of the ex-
press saw the cars on the line and re-
yersed his engine. The shock of the coli
lsion was borne by the three front cars
which sustained the brunt of the damage.
AS soon rs the accident became known q
number Of priests and physicians hurried
to the railroad station and did everything
possible to assist the dying and injured.
A report that the station master at APPLY
had committed suicide by jumping i'll
front of the express train when be saw
that collision was inevitable turns out
to be incorrect. The station master ran
along the track while trying to signal the
express train and the freight train,
which was in it's way, and he was caught
between the two trains and killed. 1t
seems to be certain that there were NO
Americans among the killed or injured.
