1t is Learned that Fireman Thomas

Gineer Farr, OF the Reading train. to
obey the signals at the block station
NHicn. IL is generally agreed, were set
AGAINST his train and required u full
stop.
Station Master John Bodine. of the
West Jersey and Seashore road, saws
that he learned that Engineer Farr, of
thc Reading train. passed the signals
all against him before the train crashed
into the West Jersey excursion train
The first signal was 1000 feet away and
IS known as the distance signal Then
he had to pass Z. home signal and finally
the block signal ut the crossing.
Engineer Grciner, of the excursion
tSain. told Rodinc that he had STONED
before reaching the crossing and blew
ms whistle to get the operator to give
MIN the clear signal. He got Il clear
signal and started. He could not see
he Reading train, but he saw n cloud of
dust indicating it's approach. The Cam
cen and Atlantic train was also coming
toward the city. and IL seemed to him
that both trains were racing. The sig
nails at the block house were opcn for
him to go on, and knowing that if such
be the case. that the block must be
against the Reading train, he expect
ed the latter to stop. Before he realized
It, he saw a collision was inevitable
and he was about to jump at the point
where the Reading engine now lies. but
he took desperate chance and stuck
to his post.
