died while being placed in the sled.
Mr.. Edkin lived to reach the Com
mercial Hotel where he recognized
sorrowing friends who with tender
hands and hearts full of pity were
doing all in their power to alleviate
his sufferings. He passed away at
1O:30 a. M, a few minutes before
his wife reached here from Satter-
field. Despite his terrible injuries
and exposure, having lain near the
Wreckage from the time of the acci-
dent at 2:4o until relief came at
about 5 O'Clock, he remained con-
scious until shortly before his death.
The force of the collision caused
Six of the cars to break from the sta
tionary train on the siding and move
out on the main track from where
they went like flash down grade
for two miles where they were all
derailed at a point known as Kings
fill and caused damaging smash-up.
This prevented through traffic on
the road until late in the evening.
A cOronOr's inquest was held over
the bodies in the afternoon. The ver-
diet of the jury was to the effect that
death had come throu. h accident
caused by neglect of one or more of
the crew in not properly turning the
switch. The jury was composed of
Messrs T. ]. Keeler, A. f. Tripp, A.
Ell. Buschhausen, Lee r. Gavitt, NJ.
w. Botsford and John w. Flynn.
The Railroad Company was repre-
sented by Asst. Manager H. Knipe
and Atty. E. j. Mullen; the Com
monwealth by Dist. Atty. Howard
Hill; Miss Julia O'Donovan serving
as stenographer.
AT first it seemed to be the purpose
to show the jury that this crew had
been kept on continuous duty for
81 hours, but the engineers train
orders showed differently, having
been issued Sunday morning.
The evidence showed that Swank
was detailed to attend the switch and
when he boarded the engine was
asked by the conductor, 'Is every
thing all right?" to whict ne replied
it was. The engineer then pulled on
to Ringdale. He testified that he
took notice of the signal when Swank
STEPPED on the locomotive and saw
the "white" and knew it was all
right. He said he stopped opposite
the switch for Swank to get on. The
"white" showing at that point of
view would throw the :'red" up and
down the track, indicating that the
switch was open. Itappeared, how
ever, that the "white" conveyed the
idea that all was right, not calculat-
ing at the moment his point of view.
Mr.. Edkin's body was removed to
the home of F.. M. Crossley, uncle
of Mrs. Edkin, Monday afternoon.
Brief funeral services were held at
Mr.. Crossley's residence on Wednes-
day morning after which the body
was taken aboard the ten O'Clock
train and taken to Hughesville
where further services were held
and interment made.
The funeral of Mr.. Darling was
held at Sonestown, Thursday fore
noon, and the funeral of Mr.. Swank
was held in the afternoon of the
same day.

RUN DOWN
BY BUGGY
But Fortunately Mr.. Lepley, the Wen
Known Fairmont Printer, was
Not Seriously Hurt.

Albret Lepley, the we1l known printer
residing in Fairmont, narrowly escaped
being run down by horse and carriage
Saturday night and seriously hurt. He
was crossing Pike street ut the Metro
politan, this city, about 8 o'clock. Be
ing a mute he did not hear the buggy
approaching and, as the horse was being
driven at lively gait, probably faster
than the ordinances of the city permit,
the driver did not have time to stop
before the buggy struck Mr.. Lepley.
As SOM as he saw Mr.. Lepley's dan
ger. however, he drew rein and the horse
came to a sudden stop. 1t was timely,
as the shaft had run up Mr.. Lepley's
coat sleeve, and he was in danger of
being dragged and probably thrown I'M
der the horses feet and trnmplcd on in
manner that would have injured him
severely.
The lady who occupied the buggy with
the gentleman was greatly unnerved and
screamed as she saw Leplcy's perilious
situation. Fortunately, Mr.. Lepley es-
capped serious injury, there being receiv-
ed only slight bruise on his arm.
