gineer Hollis train. but the collision was
terrific, both engines being demolished
and a number of the cars telescoped.

track, and above the sound OF escaping
steam could be heard the cries of the
frightened and injureugassengers

his 14-year-old daughter Maud. Both
were instantly killed, being scalded and
crushed a number OF passengers, most
ly young men, were grouped around
