@. IN A WRECK.
After having spent four days on the grounds,
we boarded the Buffalo flyer last Thursday even
ing at $50 and were soon making a rapid pace
for the Keystone State. We had travelled II
miles, the air brakes were put on and the con-
ductor called out, "Easl Aurora.n The next mo-
mint the conductor and two passe1ger we're "
ing in tangled mass at the end Of my seat as
the resultofa very unoomfortably sudden stop
Ny bat had been placed in the hat rack and that
took sudden flight like an arrow from bow
We knew something had happened, but what we
did not know. The cause of the sudden stop
was soon discovered. A heavy freight train col
lided with our train. Both engines were locked
in each others embraces and were entirely disabled
Several freigh. cars were smashed and the tenders
pushed into the engineca Theengineers hav-
ing discovered the approaching trains, reversed
their engines, applied their brakes and jumped
for their safety. 1t was soon discovered that on
ly two persons were hurt and those not seriously.
The fortunate part of the occurrence lies in the
fact that the freight had not acquired full speed,
while our train had been slowing up for East
Aurora. This prevented serious disaster. Our
train was due at Sunbury 1921 Friday morning
but we arrived there seven hours late. With the
exception of the shaking-up we got in the collis
ion our trip was pleasant apd profitable and we
advise all who can to go to see Buffalo and the
Pan-American Exposition.
