Injury.

There was a head-on collision of two
small locomotives belonging to the
Lackawanna Steel company at point
near the sand pit, about a hundred
yards north of Maple street. on Satur-
day evening, about $50 o'clock, and by
some freak of fortune neither of the
engineers were injured.
The locomotives which collided were
the John Blackwood," in charge of
Engineer Martin Langan, and the
Yankee" in charge of Engineer
Harry Davis. The latter engine was
pulling a long train of iron cars from
the South mill. while the Blackwood
was going south on the same track,
pulling several sand ears. The trains
were going at a good rate of speed
and came onto one another around a
curve at the above mentioned place
both engineers having evidently ne
elected to give the customary pre-
cautionary whistle.
Mr.. Langan, seeing that a crash was
inevitable. jumped through the window
Of the cab, but Mr.. Davis was so eX-
cited that he stuck to his post. The
engines were badly damaged, but
neither one of the engineers was in
jured
