 The collision was between the second section of an excursion train bound west and the Frisco Valley Park accom- modatien eastbound
 From what can be learned the acci- deu5 was the result of disobedienee or neglect of orders on the part of the ex- cursiontrain crew, who should have re- mained at Spring Park for orders and let the accommodation through.
 The excursion train was the second section of special bound for St. James, Mo, 100 miles west of St. Louis, where the Missouri home for aged veterans was dedicated yesterday under the aus p;ces of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie and Woman's Relief Corps, The first section had gone through safely, and the second section, which consisted of Il coaches, heavily laden with Grand Army of the Republic men and their wives and children, left St. Louis about o'clock.
 According to J. D. Bishman, the tel egraph operator and station agent at Spring Park, it should have stopped at that place. Instead of doing so the sec. ond section passed by the station and soon after met the accommodation com ing down grade at full speed Engineer Hohl of the accommodation was not aware that the second section was on the road, and ill trying to make the switch at Kirkwood crashed into the ill., fated train i'll a cut just 13 miles from the St, Louis union station.
 There was one ear and combina- ton baggage and coach on Engineer Hohl's train, but the collision was ter rife, both engines being demolished and number oi the cars telescoped The wreckage was piled high on the bank, and above the sound of escaping steam could be heard the cries of the frightened and injured passengers.
 Next to the engine of the train was the comissarycar, filled with refresh ments. Barney McKenna was in charge of the edibles and with him was his 14-year-old daughter, Maude. Both were instantly killed, being scalded and crushed A number of passengers, mostly young men, were grouped around the temporary counter eating and drinking. Almost all were either killed or injured.
 This, and the next car, in which there were 70 passengers, suffered the worst damage, and the list of the killed and injured are taken from them. Engineer Hohl of the accommodation, which was running on time, was killed, and his fireman, Frank Harter, badly wounded.
 The accommodation train consisted of an engine, tender, baggagecar and two coaches, in which there were only five passengers. The engine and tender were wrecked, but the other three cars were not damaged. It is due to the lightness of the train that the accident was not worse than it was.
 No wrecking train was available, but everybody turned i'll and in short time had rescued the injured and had taken out the dead. Doctors from surround ing towns hurried to the scene and ren- dered what assistance they could to the cuh S11HS
 When the relief tram bearing the survivors of the wreck reached the union station it was immediately be- sieged by crowd of friends and rela- tives. Some of the wounded were re- moved to their homes by friends, while others were taken to various hospitals Among the latter were three whose in- jnries will probably prove fatal
 None of the Injured Will Die.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct 27.-The indications are there will be no more fatalities re sulting from Sundays collision on the Frisco railroad near this city. All the injured are recovering.
