- R. H. Petway, porter of the Pull
man car "Parthia," slight scalp
wound.
The train was drawn by engine
2065, one of the immense compound
type of passenger locomotives, and
was in charge of Engineman Smouse.
George Peters, was the conductor.
The train was composed of mail car,
combination express and baggage
car, smoker, ladies coach and the
Pullman cars 'Parthia" and" Oneco."
At the point where the wreck took
place there is sharp curve and while
rounding this rail broke after the
locomotive, mail car, baggage car,
smoker and the forward trucks of the
ladies' coach had passed over in
safety. The rear truck of the latter
car became derailed but the coupling
between it and the smoker holding
kept it from going over the embank
ment toward the Youghiogheny river,
which the track skirts for a consider
able distance. The two Pullman cars
left the roadbed entirely, the Par
thia,n in which were six passengers
and the porter, rolling over twice
down the bank toward the river. The
distance from the rails to the point
where it stopped is about one hun
dred feet. The "Oneco," in which
eight passengers were asleep, turned
upon its side and struck against two
large oak trees which prevented it
from going further down the bank.
As soon as possible after the wreck
took place the locomotive was uncoup-
led and run to Oakland for assistance.
Drs. McComas, Legge and Hinebaugh
went to the scene of the accident and
the work of relieving the injured
was begun at once.
Mrs. Miller, her daughter and the
Misses Pope, were placed on train No.
s, which followed train No. ., and
brought to Oakland where they were
placed in the McComas sanitarium
and their injuries dressed. The other
injured passenger went east on train
Nos their injuries being of so slight a
nature that their journey was not
interrupted.
Mrs. Miller, who is the most seri-
ously injured of all the passengers, is
lying in an unconscious condition at
the hospital this morning and her
death is momentarily expected. In
the overturning of the cars she was
buried beneath a mass of blankets,
mattresses and broken seats. Byher
cries and those of her daughter her
position in the car was located by the
porter who unmindful of his own in
juries secured an ak and with it
chopped his way to the unfortunate
lady and rescued her from her peril
Gus position. While Mrs. Miller re-
tanned consciousness from the NOM
