fence in the Central Accident.

Aside from the train crew the only
Marshalltown resident on board Iowa
Central passenger train No. 2, which
was wrecked Thursday evening near
Hampton, was Mr.. C. c. st. Clair, cash
Ter of the City National Bank, Mr.. st.
Clair was riding in the smoker, which
was one of the three coaches wrecked.
but he escaped injury.
The few moments ride in this car as
it plowed thru and over the other
wrecked cars was the most thrilling In
cident ever experienced by Mr.. ST. Clair.
He says the train Was running at the
average speed of about thirty miles
an hour at the time. He was sit
ting near the front end of the smoking
car, which contained five or six other
passengers, travel being light at that
tine Of day Suddenly there was a
crash as the tender left the track and
the mail and baggage cars followed. a
cloud Of dust and moment of terrible
suspense as the car zig gagged thru
space and pounded on the wrecked cars

each side and brace himself What the

the smoker received more than severe
shaking up and slight bruises. with the
exception of Conductor Chapman.
Both the mail car. which Was ahead,
and the baggage car following We're
torn to pieces and the wreckase was
piled on top of the tender The smoker
was forced from its trucks and travelled
for 2o0 feet on top of the accommodating
werckage. and when Mr.. St Clair es-
capped from the car he found himself on
wreckage thirty feet high. Not more
than ten feet from him We're the dead
bodies of the two unfortunate mail
clerks.
The wreck is considered by those on
board aud those Who afterwards viewed
ii as most fortunate. Had there been
the ordinary amount Of travel or had
the train been one Of the lighter ones
run by the Central and the coaches thus
brought nearer to the engine the list Of
lilled and injured would Undoubtedly
have been much greater. The small
nunber Of passengers on the train at
the time is attributed TO the fact that
the Fourth of July crowds visiting at
various towns were waiting for the later
trains.
