BROKEN FLANGE DID 1T.
The accident was caused by the breaking
of fIange on the combination car which
caused the derailment OF that car, to-
gether with two coaches and parlor car.
The cars derailed turned completely over
and were badly demolished.
As soon as possible after the accident
a relief train was sent from Wheeling with
doctors AMI the injured passengers were
taken to the hospital.
Great excitement prevailed in the vicinity
for time after the accident, That no
more fatalities occurred seems to be due
to kind Providence, as the wreck was one
of the worst of its kind that has occurred
IN this vicinity for many years

save themselves the ears oyerurning
almost is soon as they left the track
The parlcr car on the rear of the train
caught fire. but the flames were extin-
guished by two of the passengers before
they gained headway.
A remarkable feature OF tic wreck is that
it occurred while the train YVES running
very slowly, the speed having slackened
at the Elm Grove coal tipple, where the
locomotive was to take coal. This being
the case. it is a strange fact that the cars
were so badly wrecked.
The breaking of the flauge on the smoker,
which caused the disaster, cannot be ac-
counted for. The trainmen say that the
wheel had been tested, as usual. before the
car left Pittsburg. and Was appa rentIy per-
fectiy sound. The scene OF the wreck was
visited by several thousand people from,
the city to-day. There was great coufu-
sion. tie debris being thrown around in
every, direction. but before night the
wreckage was entirely cleared way

of its identify The baby killed was living
in its fathers arms at the time of the

Wheeling to attend a funeral
Immediately after the accident all was
the shrieks of the in jured and
other passengers who were buried in the
