Hurt.
Monday afternoon, shortly before 2
o'clock, a peculiar wreck occurred on
the p, w. II b. railroad near Madison
street. Two locomotives, Nos. 222 and
lac, were pretty badly smashed up, but
fortunately no one was hurt.
Two" wildcat" locomotives had come
up from the Delaware road and were
stopped near West street, as there were
trains at French street station and they
could not get IN. Another locomotive
came up soon after of the Maryland
division and was also stopped. But the
flagman on the last engine failed to ga
back, and when another engine came
rushing along on the Maryland division
it was uot warned and crashed at almost
full speed into the last one that was
stationary.
The front of the boiler of the moving
engine was crushed in and the tank oi
the one in front of it was badly wrecked
1t is miracle that no lives were lost.
