According to dispatches received by
Mr.. Resseguie the track where the
wreck occurred was apparently in good
condition. The wreck occurred on a
straight track, about so feet west of the
west switch at Cana. The engine did not
leave the track, as was reported. The
tank was the first to leave the track,
and this leads to the superstition on the
part of the officials that some part of
the tender dropped down to the ground,
and threw it from the track. thus caus-
ing three cars to follow it into the ditch.
The train, according to official reports,
was running about 40 or IS miles an
hour when the accident occurred
