ENGINES MEET HEAD ON.
Express Running Sixty Miles an Hour
Crashes Into Shifter.

The Baltimore Sun Of today says: In q
head-on collision between a Royal Limited
train and yard engine on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Bayview Junction
some two miles northeast Of Highlandtown
about $50 o'clock last night, one man was
killed and another seriously injured
The dead man was Robert L. Klinefelter
1447 Light street, twenty-eight years old
fireman Of the Royal Limited train.
The injured engineer Of the yard locomo-
tive Is James Bratt, Z West Fort avenue
He was taken to the City Hospital with a
fractured skull and other serious wounds
His condition is very critical.
The wreck occurred about $50 yards east
of the overhead crossing at the Philadelphia
road Trainmen at the scene said the ex-
press was running about sixty miles an
hour. 1t was very late and an attempt had
been made to gain time.
The supposition Is that the crew of the
shifting engine believed the express had
passed. They ran onto lie track directly
In front Of the passenger train and had
just about crossed from one track to the
other as the express Numbered down upon
them.
