ABOUT 30 BADLY HURT
'sain On Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Was
Wrecked Last Night Near
Dawson, Pa.

Connellsyille, Pa, Dec 94-With a
nrribe crash and a grinding noise, the
nnqnesne limited, the fastest through
mssenger train from Plttsburg to New
York on the Baltimore q Ohio plunged
hl0 pile Of lumber at Laurel Run, two
nles west Of Dawson at 45 o'clock last
Mening and il is estimated that fully 90
ives were lost and 80 persons were injur-
81 The train left Pittsburg last evening,
mnning few minutes late, In charge Of
Engineer William Thornley, Of Hazelwood
When passing Laurel Run, which is a
mrticularly bad piece OF road bed, the
4ain was running at high rate Of speed.
Suddenly the passengers were thrown
&om their seats by the lightning like ap-
Hicaton Of the air brakes, and a moment
later there was a terrible crash.
The train was made up OF two baggage
cars, two day coaches, one sleeper and one
dining car. and was carrying at the time,
a the lowest estimate $50 passengers.
Che train ploughed along for a consider
able distance and the cars were torn to
pieces, passengers jumping, screaming,
falling from the wreck as it tore along
Snddenly the engine swerved to the left
and the coaches plunged down over the
embankment to the edge Of the Youghio-
gheny river
The minute the cars stopped rolling
there was a wild scene Many persons
weFe pinIoned beneath the wreckage and
the screams and cries that rent the air
we're beyond description. Many we're In
ilred In their mad excitement and others
Tunged into the river. Others, pinioned
haneata the heavy timbers, pleaded in
ageny for release So terrific was the
hrcs Of the wreck that nearly every pas
anger sufereda moments unconscious
Isss, and many Of the able.bodied men
were unable to assist 10 helping the in
iured from the wreck on account Of having
tainted
The most OF the dead were foreigners
who were ia the smoker, Just back Of the
baggage car They were literally roasted
to death, the baggage and smoker tele-
scoplng the engine and Immediately catch
ing FIRE Many Of the bodies were burned TO
a crisp All the dead were taken to the
baggage room Of the Baltimore Il Ohio
depot to be removed later TO the different
undertaking shops in the city. The en-
tire population turned ont en- masse 70
asslstin cariug for the living and in dis
posing Of the dead A peculiar feature Of
the accident is the fact that not woman
was seriously injured
The wreck was caused by the breaking
OF the castings on a carload Of bridge tim
bers, on west bound freight train which
had passed Laurel Run not more than 10
minutes before the illfated passenger
train. The wreck occurred on a curve and
it was Impossible for Engineer Thornley,
to see far enough ahead TO detect the OBJ
struction on the tracks. The bic Atlantic
Type engine plunged into the timbers at a
Velocity Of 60 miles an hour.
