KILLED IN a WRECK
Serious Accident on the Chesapeake
& Ohio.


Charlottesville, Va, Nov. 6. - The
Chesapeake & Ohio vestibule express,
known as the f. Il. v. from Cincin-
natl to Washington, was wrecked near
Old Shadwell, five miles east of this
place. Four persons were killed and
seventeen injured
The cause OF the accident has not
been definitely ascertained, but it is
believed to have been due to spreading
rails. The engine left the track on q
sharp curve and was hurled against a
rocky hill. All of the cars except the
dining car and the Richmond sleeper
were derailed. Two cars plunged end
foremost down the steep embank-
ment and one of them went into the
Rivanna river. As soon after the
crash as possible the uninjured passen-
gers and trainmen began the work of
rescue and aiding the injured. Word
was sent to this place and a wrecking
train with physicians was Immediate
ly dispatched to the scene of the wreck.
Among the uninjured passengers on
the train were Senator OrTille III. Piatt
of Connecticut Commissioner of Pen
sions H. Clay Evans and Representa-
tive Walter Evans of Louisville.
The local railroad officials, after in
vestigating the cause of the accident,
declared that it was not due to spread
ing rails, though they are unable to
give even a theory. They state that
the rails at the spot are true, and eX-
animation revealed that they are tied
securely.
