PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Freight Train Ran Into a Church Party
 Killing Woman

Pittsburg, July 8-Two people were killed outright and third seriously hurt tonight in peculiar railway accident. The dead:
 Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, aged 40.
 Thomas Morris, aged 4S.
 Thomas Edwards, husband of the dead woman, had his leg so badly lacerated that it will have to be amputated. The victims were on their way home from church, and were standing on South Twenty-seventh street at the end of a blind switch on the Pittspuis, Virginia and Charleston Rail- road, waiting for a long freight train to pass. The switch, which was on a grade, was filled with cabooses. The freight broke in two at the switch, supposedly caused by broken frog. The portion which turned into the switch damned the line of ca booses through the buffer into the party of church people. Mrs. Edwards was literally cut to pieces. MT. Morris was dead when picked up.
