ENGINEER GRErNER's STORY.
He Tells How the Latest Railway Horror
Occurred.


CAMDEN, n. j., Aug. 3.-John Greiner,
the engineer of the ill-fated excursion
train from Bridgeton brought his loco
motive to the roundhouse in this city and
later he was interviewed at his home. He
said:
my train left Atlantic City ut 6:i5
o'clock 1t was about two minutes later
when we reached the drawbridge. just
as we were leaving the drawbridge
looked out Of one of the cab windows ana
saw the Reading express flyer shoreward.
II was then probably two miles away.
There was Camden and Atlantic accom-
modation train running In the same di-
rect,on that the Reading flyer was going.
From what l could observe the trains
were racing
III looked up at the tower and saw that
| I had n clear track. The signals are IN
terchangable, and the fact that the white
was against me would throw the red light
against the Reading express. As the ex-
nress came laundering down upon the
crossing | saw that n collision was un-
avoidable. My God, Horace / said to
INV fireman. he's not going to stop. Then
I left nv seat and jumped quickly on the
| engines steps. For an instant was un-
decided whether to jump or not some
| thing prevented me from jumping, how
ever and l sprang quickly into the cab
| again. The next minute the collision
came.
"Had I followed my first impulse and
iumped would have been crushed to
death alongside the track The engineer
of the express struck the excursion train
about the middle of the second coach
Four of the cars left the track. IL was In
the second coach from the engine tha'
most of the people were killed They Were
sImnly ground to death in their seats
Neither nor the fireman was hurt. Inc
engine of the express was literally smashed
TO pieces. When the crash came my en-
zine was severed from the rest of the tra'n
and the locomotive ran down the track for
several hundred feet before 1t was brough'
to n standstill. When l got back to Tn.
scene of the accident the sight which met
INV eyes was appalling. Dead bodies wer,
strewn about everywhere and the cries o'
the diving and injured filled the air L
| was n heartrending scene.
