Harrow Escape from . Terrible Accident ut .
Dangerous Erie Crossing.

Harrow Escape from . Terrible Accident ut o
Dangerous Erie Crossing.
PoRT JERvIs, juno 5.-John ellison, the
driver of the stage which runs between Port
Jervis and Sparrow Bush. and three passengers
this afternoon had a narrow escape from a terri.
bic death at the Erie Railroad grade crossing a
short distance east Of Sparrow Bush. As it was
the driver and two passengers were injured and
the stage badly smashed by a switch engine
crashing into 1t while on the crossing.
1t was shortly after 1 o'clock when the stage
started on its first afternoon trip from this
place. The passengers were VIM. Hendershot
of Millrift, Pa; Miss Hattie Raymond. a school
teacher at the Germantown school, Port Jervis,
and Mrs. Levi Van Auken of Sparrow Bush.
There are four tracks at the crossing. two of which
were clear, but on the second track from the aide
toward the Delaware River was a stationary
freight train. 1t was uncoupled and pulled apart
at the crossing and made an opening about fifty
feet wide TO allow a passageway for wagons. AS
MIR. ellison heard no ominOus sounds he con-
and 80 drove upon the crossing. The freight train
had the fourth track, however, except at the
narrow opening.
The stage was just passing the freight cars.
when, as Miss Raymond said. 81 heard a loco
motive bell. l said to Mrs; Van Auken: My!
switch engine running right into the stage.
Being near the rear end of the stage, l spranR
ers sad | Inss f sbs sfSr th s1 t5a Sall ss the + oE SSompt Hys
not injured, but / was terribly frightened, and
hardly dared look back at the wrecked stage, as
thought, the other two passengers must GER
tainIy be killed"
1t appears that the switch engine was backing
slowly up the fourth track and the freight train
had both hidden it and deadened its sound, so
that the occupants of the stage had not heard 1t.
The engineer reversed the engine as soon as he
saw the danger. ana 1t came to a stop as it
crushed into the stage and knocked 1t over.
Mr.. ellison, was thrown out and struck
on his head and shoulders and was badly
bruised. Mr.. Henderson, was cut about the
head and bruised about the limbs. Mrs. Van
Auken and Miss Raymond were not thrown out
of the stage, and beyond u few bruises and a ter
rible fright were not hurt.
This crossing is a very dangerous ono, and the
Erie officials some time ago made proposals to
the, town authorities to depress the highway
under the tracks.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Spanish Govern

have been naturalized in this country have
never been bona hde residents, and the Govern
