The wrecked train consisted Of ten
day coaches, and was the first section
of n large excursion made up OF peo-
pie from Bethlehem, Allentown and
surrounding towns to Atlantic City.
This section carried only those per-
lentown, and left the union depot Mt
Bethlehem at e:05 u. m. exactly thlr-
ty-fye minutes behind the milk train.A
The latter train consisted of two
passenger conches and had stopped at
every station on the road from Bcthle-
hem en- route to Philadelphia. At
1854 the milk train drew up ut the
milk platform ut Hatfield, and in less
than two minutes the special excur-
zion, running at the rate of thirty
five miles an hour, crashed into the
rear of the, milk train. The locomo-
tive ploughed through the two pas
sengcr conches md churshed
them as though they were egg
shells. The milk car Immediately in
front was also badly wrecked. -Four
persons, Godfrny Kaelin. his daughter
Mamie, Harold Landis and William
Blackburn, on the passenger car of
the milk train, were almost killed.
Fortunately, there We're very few per-
sons on this train. The excursion
train was n picture of indescribnble
horror. The locomotive was a mass OF
bent and broken iron, and firmly held
the bodies of its engineer and fireman
beneath its great weight. Behind the
engine six of the ten cars were also n
mass of wreckage. The first car was
broken in twain, nnd the other five
cars were thrown on their sides, com
pletely demolished.
Nine persons were killed inathe first
two cars, and the others in these
coaches were badly MANNED. As soon
az the crash came a terrible cry arose
from the smashed cars, and those who
had not been injured quickly crayyled
or jumped from the cars and went to
the assistance of the Injured. Many
were pinned down by wreckage, and
had to he freed by the liherai Use Of
axes. With three or four exceptions.
the dead were illedsinstantly. the 9th.
ers dying on theer way ID the hos
pitfalls.
OVERDUE AT MANILA.
