Crossing Accident.

The west bound passenger on the
Rock Island that generally pulls into
this station at ID A. NJ. met with
an accident about two miles east of
the city yesterday afternoon that
might have been attended with more
serious results than IL was. A team
ster engaged in hauling some of the
old building from Carbonate TO Lost
Greek attempted to make crossing
ahead of the passenger. The result
was that he got his team and himself
over all right, but the engine struck
the heavily loaded wagon about in
the center and wagon and buildings
were smashed into kindling wood
and scattered as though there haG
been a load of dynamite under 1t
The engine was badly injured. Thu
pilot was almost torn off and heaG
light smashed and knocked of int
a field at considerable distance from
the right of way, and there was u
large hole torn III the pollSF iead.
As soon as the engine could be
stopped the train was backed to the
scene of the wreck and it was eN
pectsd that there would be found tn
mutilated remains of the driver ~
The rig. He was found on the ores
Of nearby hill endeavoring to contro
his much frightened team. The
name of the man was not learned
The passenger train was in charge OF
conductor Warren and the engine
was run by engineer McGoogan. Tn"
team and driver were not injured by
the slightest scratch, but it was a
narrow escape, and the fellow hardly
care to attempt another crossing
ahead Of the train.
