SEVEN PERSONS KILLED.
Several Others Missing as the Result
of n Renr-End Collision ON the
New York Central.

New York, Aug. 22.-1n freight
train collision at Kenisco, N. Y, last
night, seven persons were killed and
others are missing.
Kenisco is on the Harlem division
of the New York Central railroad,
about sixteen miles from New York.
AT $3.50 o'clock last night, while a
freight train was standing at the
depot, a second freight dashed into
the rear end of it. The engine of the
second train smashed the caboose of
the first train and then turned over.
Reports from the scene of the acci-
dent say that the engineer and fire.
man of the second train are dead un-
der the wreck, and that two others
of the train crew are buried in the
debris, and others are also unaccpunt-
ed for.
So far as can be learned, the acci-
dent was caused by the engineer Of
the second train running past block
signal that had been set against him.
The engineer was William Sanger
bach, of New York, and his fireman
was John Cassidy, of New York.
