A Smashup on the Western Mary
land Railroad.

HAGERsrowN, Nd, March pa freight
wreck occurred on the Western Maryland
Railroad this morning about $50 o clock, near
The Antietam Paper Mills, about one mile
east of Hagerstown.
The Baltimore local freight left Hagerstown
at $40 o'clock After doing some work at
| Potomac Avenue Station, the train proceeded
to Antietam switch, where some cars were
shifted. Ten minutes later the coal train,
drawn by engines No. "a and No. 81, fol-
lowed. 1t is stated that Flagman James
! Bowman was sent back from the Baltimore
| train to flag the double header, but before he
reached the cut the coal train dashed into the
rear of the local. The caboose and two cars
! of the regular traiA were smashed into spHn-
tiers and hurled to the side of the track. Two
other cars OF the regular train were derailed
and badly broken.
! When the enginemen and fremen on the
double header saw that the collision could not
be avoided they all jumped. Guy Connley,
engineman. and Albert Lizer, fireman of en-
| CINE No. "a, which was in front, jumped in
| time to save their lives. They sustained
| slight bruises. Edward Donaldson, engine
man on No. "a, jumped on a pile of rocks,
and sprained his ankle and I'M ured his leg.
| Fireman John Caldwell, of No. 81, also sus-
tanned slight bruises by jumping on some
rocks.
! The crash of the collision was accompanied
! by Il grinding, tearing noise. US the track
under the engines was torn up with the ties.
| Only few moments elapsed from the time
! the trainmen jumped until both big engines
| left the track. No. 81 rolled down twenty
foot embankment on the north side OF the
| track, and rolled over on its side, having the
Smokestack carried away, pilot smashed, cab
| damaged, etc. No. "a was even worse dam
| aged 1t fell on the south side of the main
track, directly across the public road. The
| pilot aud smokestack were both torn off, and
! the front end of the boiler was smashed in.
! For distance of about fifty yards the rails
were torn loose and twisted.
! John Moser, Baltimore and Ohio EN-
! ploye, was III the cabo0se of the Baltimore
! train when the collision occurred. He was on
! his way to his home, at Rocky Ridge. When
found he was tightly wedged between broken
pieces Of the demolished caboose He was
cut about the face and body, and, it is thought,
received internal injuries.
! G. B. Russell, front brakeman on the coal
train, Jumped when the crews of the engines
! jumped. but he was badly bruised, and suS-
tanned severe cuts about the face and legs.
Russell and Moser were brought to Hagers-
town, and are now in charge OF Dr. j. McP.
traffic on the road is completely blocked.
! The Hagerstown and Union Bridge wreeking
| crews have been at work all day, but it is
| hardly probable that through traffic will be
resumed before tomorrow morning. Passen-
gers and baggage were transferred. The loss
to the railroad will he about $4,000.
