After the most dramatic

COLLISION NEAR NEW CASTLE
Freight Trains Have Rear End
CoIIision---.No One Killed
or Badly Injured.

There was a rear end collision last night
about six o'clock at point near the
west end limit OF the New Castle yards

length OF where the fearful wreck OF
several years ago occurred.
The collision was between two freight
trains. Train No 226 is Conductor A.

Of engine No sos. The train was bound
east yesterday and was taking on some
coal at the Keystone mine when the ac-
cident occurred.
The train which ran into the rear end
of Conductor McCabe's train was train
No &C. There were two engines attach
ed to this train, which was quite heavy.
The engines were No. 507 in charge OF
Bert Richards and No. 532 in charge OF
Gray Steele.

Cabe is said to have gotten back about
late, that distance not being short
enough to stop.
The caboose Of the front train was
knocked to smithereeps and several cars
of the rear portion of the train. The
first engine of the rear train, No 507, was
knocked crosswise OF the track by the
impact.
Very fortunately no one was hurt on
the trains. 1t WAS daylight when the
rear Of the first train was seen by the
rear train, the air was put on, but not in
sufficient time to save the collision.
Railway men say that someone must
suffer for the collision. There was no
fiagman back from the first train and
here is doubtless where the blame will
be made, but Of course it cannot be said
for certainty where the blame will fall.
1t il the best OF news however, that
no one was seriously injured by the col

as it is.
