AN APPALLING DISASTER.
Eighteen Persons Killed ana MARY
Injured by Collision bet"een
Trolley Car and Train.

Cohoes. N, Y, Sept. 6.-An appalling
disaster occurred in this city just De-
fore eight o'clock last night. Shortly oe-
fore that hour trolley car OF the
Troy CITY Railroad Co. was struck oy
the night boat special of the Delaware
& Hudson railroad at a crossing at the
west end of the Hudson river bridge
w hich connects this city with Lansing
burg. and its load of human freight
was hurled into the air. Eighteen OF
the as passengers are dead and at least
ten of the remainder will die.
The Troy City Railroad was the Victim
of the Disaster.
The cars entering the city from Lam
sinpburg were crowded with passen--
gers returning from a Labor day pic
mic at Rensselaer, park, pleasure re-
sort near Troy. Car No. 192 OF the
Troy CITY railroad was the victim OF
the disaster. 1t came over the bridge
about 7:35 o'clock laden with a merry
party of people from the enjoyment OF
the day. The crossing where the acci-
dent occurred is at grade. Four
tracks of the Delaware & Hudson
road, which runs north and south at
this point, cross the two tracks of the
trolley road.
It was about the hour when the
night boat special, train which runs
south and connects with the New York
city boat at Albany, was due to pass
that point.
The tracks of the street line run at
grade from the bridge to the point
where the disaster took place.
Can Not Be Told Whether the Rule was
Complied With.
In consequence of this fact and OF
the frequent passage of trains, 1T has
been the rule for each motor car con-
ductor to stop his car and go forward
to observe the railroad tracks and sig
nal his car to proceed If no trains were
in sight. 1t can not be ascertained
whether that rule was complied with.
on this occasion, for all events prior to-
the crash are forgotten by those who
were involved.
Struck Directly In the Center.
The motor car was struck directly in
the center by the engine of the train,-
which was going at high rate of
speed. The accident came without the
slightest warning. The car was upon
the tracks before the train doomed in
sight, and no power on earth could
have saved it.
Opened His Controller, But In Vain.
The motorman evidently saw the
train approaching as he reached the
track, and opened his controller, but in
vain. With crash that was heard for
blocks the engine struck into the lighter
vehicle. The effect was horrible. The
motor car parted in two, both sections
being hurled into the air in splinters.
The mass of humanity, for the car was
crowded to overlooking, was torn and
mangled.
Every Human Being was Killed.
Those in the front of the car met
with the worst fate. The force of the
collision was there experienced to the
greatest degree. and every human be-
ing in that section of the car was killed
The scene was horrible. Bodies had
been hurled into the air, and their
headless and limbless trunks were.
found in some cases SO feet from the:
crossing.
