The train which was ditched was
the through passenger which left here
at $40 yesterday morning, bound for
New York. 1t was a full vestibuled
train, composed of engine, baggage
car, postal car two coaches, sleeper
and Pullman chair car. In going down
the steep grade one and a half miles
west of Glencoe the engine jumped
the track at the curve and the entire
train piled on top of it. Probably the
only thing that prevented a wholesale
death list was the fact that the heavy
vestibuled cars did not break up in
going over the embankment
The work of rescuing the injured
had to be done quickly, because the
gas tanks in the cars were exploded
and set fire to. the wreckage. The
flames spread rapidly, and in a short
time the entire train was burned. The
engine was completely demolished
and the two dead men, when taker
from the debris were horribly man
gled. Collins was one of the oldes
engineers on the road. AS soon aftei
the accident as possible a>relief train

sent to the scene from Cumberland
and the injured were soon after talSei
to Meyersdale, Pa, where every atten
tion was paid them.
