Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-11-12

We are always glad to welcome Wis.,
itors to our city especially when they
are members of some school but the
aggregation from Randolph which hon
ored our city with call yesterday was
little TOO fresh to be relished. Those
young people who raised such hubub
on the electric cars yesterday Disguised
everybody, especially the young men
of the party, who if they were not under
the influence Of something stronger than
city water certainly acted as if they were.
We think it was aparticularly disgraceful
act when that young man after going
down to Montpelier stood on the steps
Of the capitol and pulled bottle from
his pocket which he proceeded TO smash
before the entrance. II bis mother could
have seen him then she would doubt
less have not been proud of her boy.

Wet Leaves Cause Engine to Run
Away on Wilkesbarre Mountain.
HEAD ON COLLISION RESULTS
Five Trainmen Killed and Four Ia
jured In the Wreck-Engtnes
and Cars Piled Up-NO
Passenger Hurt.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 12.-From New
port, a small station on the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad. II miles from here. comes
word of a frightful accident. Two en-
tire trains are piled up together as the
result OF q collision at full speed.
Strange to say. no passengers were
hurt. but i've trainmen were killed ano
four injured.
The Buffalo express from New York
on the Lehigh Valley railroad ran into
the New York and Philadelphia express
going east on Wilkesbarre mountain.
The train going east, which was COM
posed Of an express car. combination
baggage, day coach and three sleepers.
had the right Of way on single track.
The Buffalo express. in charge OF En-
gineer Rohbling. had orders to stop on
siding on the mountain and let the
New York express pass.
As Rohbling approached the siding he
discovered that the airbrakes would not
work. The train was moving about 80
miles an hour down a 30 foot grade.
The engineer whistled frantically for
the handbrakes. He knew the other
train was about due. He reversed his
engine and stuck to his post. but could
not avert the collision.
In less than a minute the express
from the west, drawn by two heavy en-
gines hove in sight. A terrible crash
followed on a curve in deep cut. Near
ly all the passengers on both trains
were asleep. Many OF these were thrown
out Of their berths by the shock. but
none was severely injured.
Piled In a Heap.
The engines and the baggage and ex-
press cars were piled up In heap in
the cut. The passengers rushed from
the cars to hear the cries of the in
jured trainmen. In the dark it was i'm
possible to render any assistance. Flag
men went In haste to the nearest tele-
graph office and sent word to Wilkes
barre. A wrecking train with a number
Of physicians and two clergymen were
at once sent to the scene OF the wreck.
As soon as possible the dead and in
jured were taken from under the engine
and cars.
The train going east consisted of an
express car, combination baggage. one
day coach and four Pullmans. The pas
sengers were brought to this city, and
later a train was made up and sent over
the "cut off" branch road. The road IS
completely blocked and will not be
cleared for some hours.
The killed and wounded taken from
the wreck are:
Killed-William Toxhemer, fireman,
White Haven; Fred CHASER. fireman,
Mauch Chunk; J. C. McGregor, express
messenger Easton; Jacob Engleman,
brakeman. Easton; John McNally, en-
gineer, White Haven.
Injured.-D. e. Price, engineer, New
York, badly scalded; John Rohbling.
engineer, Wilkesbarre. badly scalded:
Charles Morgan. express messenger,
Wilkesbarre. scalded about the head;
John Shanfield, brakeman. Mauch
Chunk, cut about head.
An investigation shows that heavy
windstorm prevailed on the mountain
last night. which caused the leaves
from the forest to accumulate on the
track. The engines rlowed into these
leaves, which clcgged the braking ap-
paratns.
