Wreck.


PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. Two
freight trains collfded at PhiIson. on
the Baltimore & Ohio, 124 miles east OF
Pittsburg, making one of the worst

troll Instantly it was going at express
speed, and the crew decided to take
chances by staying aboard rather than
Jumping. AS the train shot around the
curve at Philson, the eastbcund train
struck the other, train, and every car
OF the former was thrown to the COM
mon center of the collision and ground
to atoms. The engines were smashed
to scrap iron. The other train was
also badly wrecked. and debris was
piled as high as. the telegraph poles.
A Cumberland dispatch says: Twelve
tramps nave been taken from the
wreck, six Of whom were dead The
remaining number were brought to this
city and placed. in the hospital. and
are in a serious lcondition. One of the
tramps stated that in the car in which
j he was riding there were ten compan-
ions, while another Says that his car
was occupied BY eight others.
Trainmen say thatla number of men
who had been Attehding the Bryan

their way to their shomes In Myers
