The Disaster.

\ freight train was blocked on
track 4, and the local received orders
70 proceed ON the express track to
Dunellen and there take the outside,
or No. 4 track. shortly after receiv-
ing orders the train had 10 stop for
u hot box, which delayed her so that
when she got under way again she
was due at Dunellen. She had just
started and was moving slowly when
the Royal Blue, travelling apparently
at full speed, which at that point
usually approximates 65 miles an
hour, crashed into the rear end.
The heavy engine OF the Royal Blue
tore its way into the rear car and at
the same time drove the forward end
OF that car into the rear end Of the
car ahead, which in turn was driven
into the third car. and this in turn was
driven into the fourth car from the
rear. The fourth car was only partly
wrecked, but the last three were torn
TO pieces. The engine OF the Royal
Blue left the rails and turned over on
her side, the engineer and fireman
sticking TO their posts and going down
in the wreck. They are now in the
Muhlenberg hospital at rlainfield and
the engineer is not believed to have
chance Of living more than few
hours
