The wrecked train was known as No.
23 not the Cleveland Flyer, as at first re-
ported. 1t left Pittsburg for Cleveland at
$3.50 D. M, and was composed of two bag
gage cars, two day coaches and one parlor
car, in charge of Conductor f. l.. Murray,
and carried between 125 and $50 passengers.
The train while going at great speed ran
into an open switch at Monaco and went
over an embankment about twenty-fiv
feet high. Every car was turned over, two
of them going over twice. Fireman Cum
ningham when taken from the wreck was
found to be horribly crushed. His death
must have been instantaneous
AS soon as the news of the wreck reached
here Superintendent Yohe summoned a
corps OF physicians and took them 10 the
scene on a special relief train. This train
returned here with the dead and number
of the injured, when another train was at
once dispatched TO Monaco for the re-
mainder of the wounded.
