HEAD-END COLLISION.
Three Men KiIIc- and Ten More In
jured Near Washington, Pa.
occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio
road east Of Bradys tunnel a. short dis
tancc east Of Washington, which re-
suited in the death Of three men and
the injury of ten more, two OF whom
may die. The wreck was caused by
head-end collision between an empty
freight engine and the westbound
Wheeling accommodation train.
The stories of the cause Of the
wreck are conflicting and it will take
a corono"'s i'my to determine who is
responsible for it, The engine was
on it's way from Washington loaded
with road officials going to render as
sistance at a FREIGHT wreck near
Vanccs Station, ant' was hit by the
pa sscngcr train just as the engine
emerged from the tunnel, both going
at high speed.
