Meadville, Pa, and frank Barrett of
jamestown, a travelling salesman, are
missing, and it is likely two of the IN.
ldentlhed bodies are those OF the tWo
men.
The wrecked passenger train was
known as No. 4, running from Chicago
10 New York. The engine was in
charge of Engineer Samuel Cook and
Fireman Bell of Meadville. The train
was made up of one combination car
two day coaches, three sleepers and
two private cars. The train was de.
rallied by striking freight train which
was taking sizing at Redhouse. The
wreck took fire and the combination
car the coaches and two sleepers, to-
gether with several freight cars, were
consumed.
There is some dispute as to the
cause of the wreck.
The freight was drawn by two en-
gines. Some trouble was experienced
in entering the siding, and the fore
most engine of the freight was sent in
along the siding with a tiagman to
mold the express. 1t is alleged that
the operator in the tower, Lawrence
vale, a boy II years of age, saw the
light engine of the freigh,, which was
bringing up the flag, and supposed the
freight was on the siding behind it.
Vale then displayed a white signal to-
ward the passenger train, indicating
to the engineer that he had a clear
track. The engineer on the passenger
train failed to see the fagman sent
out from the forward engine of the
freight train and saw only the clear
ance signal from the tower.
The train ran toward the east end of
the siding at high speed and collided
with the second engine of the freight
train just as it was about to clear the
main line. The passenger engine and
some of the coaches crashed into a
small wooden structure used as a feed
store and school. The first half dozen
cars of the freight were wrecked Tno
were cars loaded with coal. Fire i'm
mediately started in the wreckage,
creating an intense heat. All but
three of the cars of the express fol-
lowed the engine and the whole mass
of wreckage was soon in flames. The
tracks were strewn for rods with
burning wood and coal and heaps of
twisted iron work.
