Hurled Into the Air.
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 loomed in sight and no
power on earth could have saved 1t.
The motorman evidently saw the train
approaching as he reached the track,
and opened his controller. but In vain.
With a crash that was heard for blocks
the engine struck into the lighter vehl-
Gle. The effect was horrible. The mo-
tor car parted into two, both sections
being hurled Into the air In spllnters.
The mass Of humanity. for the car was
crowded to overaowlns, was torn and
car met with the worst fate. The force
Of the collision was there experienced
to the greatest degree and every human
being In that section Of the car was
killed.
The scene was horrible. Bodies had
been hurled Into the air and their head
lees and limbless trunks we're found, in
some cases fifty feet from the crossing.
The pilot OF the engine was smashed
and amid It's wreckage were the MANNED
corpsCs Of two women. The passengers
Of the train suffered no injury in addi-
ton to a violent ehock.
The majority Of the passengers OF the
trolley were young people. They inclu-
ded many women.
Within ten minutes after the collision
fully one-half of the population Of the
city were surglng about the vicinity In
an endeavor to ascertain II relatives
we're among the unfortuuates.
The injured were taken to the city
hospital and to the Continental mill, the
former not having sufficient ambulance
service to care for them all.
Horror Of tho DIsAstor.
The corpses were placed in boxes and
taken to a ngighborIng mill shed. Many
OF them were unrecognlzable. The
crash was frlghttul In Ne results.
Headless women with gay summer
dresses bathed in their own and the

returning from a Labor Day picnic at
Rensselaer, Park. pleasure resort near
Troy. It came over the bridge about
7:35 o'clock laden with merry party OF
people fresh rom the enjoyment OF the
day. The crossing where the accident
occurred is entered at a grade. Four
tracks OF the Delaware s. Hudson road,
which runs north and south at this
point, cross the two tracks of the trolley
road. 1t was the hour when the night
boat special, a train which runs south
and connects with the New York city
bat at Albany. was due to pass that
point
