like heroes to accomplish their purpose.
Amid the kissing of escaping steam, the
groans Of the wounded and the shrieks of
frightened women the work of rescue
went on the whole presenting a scene Of
horror that will live long in the memory
OF those who were actors therein
Within few moments after the crash
the sleeping passengers realized what had
happened. Those who were not too Sc
verely injured at once left their coaches
and proceeded to the front Of the trains,
where the engines and cars were piled up

lay on their sides enveloped in clouds of

both trains were telescoped. seemingly
piled mountain high. To add to the horror
of the scene the wreckage caueht fire. and
the first care of the rescuers was to re-
lease such persons as might be buried un-
der the debris. The flames crept upward,
their fiery tongues becoming more and
more distinct as they swept through the
infammable mass. Several people were
rescued in the nick of time, and in order
thar the entire trains might not be de-
stroyed by fire the cars were uncoupled

Killed.

- IsOBEDIENCE Of orders by an en-
gfneer Of the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company, so the railroad Off
cials allege, was the cause of the
head-on collision between the north
and south bound limited trains on the
coast division at Uplands, Monterey Coun-
~, early yesterday morning, resulting in
the death Of two persons and injury to
more than q score Of men and women.
There is an unverified rumor that two
tramps riding the brakebeam were killed
and burned in the wreckage.
The trains in collision were southbound
no. 10. that left San Francisco on Wednes-
day evening, and northbound No. 9, that
left Los Angeles at noon Of the same day.
The telegraphic orders given to the
crews Of the trains were that the south
bound train should wait at Uplands on the
main track, and that the northbound
should take the siding and allow No. 10 to
pass.
Engineer John ". Coffey Of the north
bound train neglected his orders. He
passed the siding a. Uplands at a speed
Of between thirty and forty miles an hour.
The southbound train was slowing UP and
was proceeding at about five miles an
hour when the collision occurred.
The engines met with a terrific crash.
The train crews jumped for their lives.
but Fireman William c. Garland Of the
norehbound train was caught in the
vvreckage and crushed TO death.
A Wells Fargo Company's helper,
named owen A. Thurber. was caught in
the mass Of debris Of his wrecked car on
the northbound train and killed.
Engine Alone Of No. 10 Wrecked.
The southbound train escaped with but
the wreckage Of the engine and tender,
and the passengers and crew Of trainmen
received only slight bruises.
The northbound train, however, met
with severe disaster. When its big engine
plovred into the locomotive Of No. 10 it
was forced upward into the air. then it
fell backward on the baggage car and
finally toppled on to the roof Of the
smoker, crushing into II and smashing
me car into kindling wood.

the element of fire. The lamps in the

- HE arrival last evening of the
porthbound train that had been in
collision in the early morning at
Uplands was eagerly awaited by
hundreds of relatives and friends of
those who were passengers from the
south.
During the day the Offices of the South
ern Pacific Company were visited by
crowds, and the information given out
was of a meager character. Beyond fur
nishing list of the killed and injured
the railroad officials gave out no news
from the scene of the disaster, and those
who were anxious for information were
compelled to await the arrival of the
northbound train at $50 p. m.
Conflicting statements We're made by
Southern Pacific officials as to the spot
where the injured would be taken from
the train. One department answered i'll
quiries by saying that the injured would
be taken off at Twenty-ffth and Valeu-
cia streets, while other officials asserted
that no stop would be made at that point,
but that the injured would be removed
at Third and Townsend streets.
The injured were not taken from the
lIaln al ellher OF the polhts mentioned.
The company ordered a number of am
balances to wait for the train at Six
teenth and Harrison streets and at this
point the removal Of the injured was ac-
complished.
A large number of relatives and friends
of those on the train congregated at the
depots at Third and Townsend streets and
at Twenty-fifth and Valencia streets, but
at neither point were the injured re-
moved. The train passed the Valencia
street depot at high rate Of speed, and
when it approached the Sixteenth and
Harrison streets roundhouse it was sig

Neglect.

HHE blame for the disaster on the
coast line of the Southern Pacific
Railroad system has been already
placed by the officials on Engineer
John W. Coffey of the Inflated north

N. II. Foster, assistant to the manager
of the Pacific system, made the following
statement at noon yesterday:
THE accident was due to Engineer
Coffey of train No. violating his orders
and not following instructions. He was
ordered to meet the southbound train at
Uplands and pass it there on the switch.
He did not do 50, but ran beyond Uplands
at high rate Of speed. Engineer Konold
obeyed his orders and was slowing Up in
order to stop at Uplands when the north
bound train ran into his engine. have
received no statement from Coffey as to
why he disobeyed orders"
When Foster was asked If he could give
any reason as to why Coffey should make
such a terrible mistake he answered.
HE made the mistake in the same way
that all men make mistakes. That is the
only explanation I can give"
At the Office Of Superintendent Worth
ington at the Third and Townsend streets
depot it was learned that the instructions
for the two trains were sent out from the
San Luis Obispo dispatcher's Office and
were most positive that the trains should
meet at Uplands and pass on the double
track at that point.

In spite of this secrecy there was big

those seriously injured.

says Patrick B. Delaney in The Elec-
