Estimated That Forty Of The Dead Were
In The Smoker.
NO PULLMAN PASSENGERS KILLED
Wreck Wa. Caused by Collision with a
Car Load of Bridge rimbers-Train
Went Into Youghiogheny River
Stream Was Fatal.

Connellsvllle. Pa, Dec. 2S.-A terri
Run, west of Dawson. The wreck was
caused by the breaking of the castings
on car load of bridge timbers on
curve and it was impossible for the
engineer to see far enough ahead to
stop the train. A big Atlantic type
engine crashed into the timbers at a
velocity of sixty miles an hour. The
engine plunged into the embankment,
and the baggage and express cars were
thrown into the Youghiogheny river.
The smoker followed the engine and
landed squarely on top of it. This al
lowed the escaping steam from the
engine to fill the car, The smoker was
packed to its utmost capacity, and all
the passengers were cooked alive. Not
a single passenger in this car escaped
alive, and it is estimated that at least
forty of the dead were in the smoker.
Few people were seriously injured in
the Pullman car. So terrific was the
force of the wreck that nearly every
passenger suffered moments uncon-
sciousness, and many of the able
bodied men were unable to assist in
helping the injured from the wreck on
account of having tainted.
The killed were mostly foreigners,
who were in the smoker, just back of
the baggage car. They were literally
roasted to death, the baggage and
smoker telescoping the engine and
Immediately catching fire. 1t is prob
able that at least half the dead will
not be identified. 1t is definitely
known that 63 people are dead. Barely

years that American citizens employed
in various capacities on the roailroads
of Mexico frequently had been arrested
and imprisoned on the charge of Grim
inal negligence in railway wrecks,

periods without trial, the United

rected by Secretary Hay to examine
into these cases and bring the subject
to the attention of the Mexican gov

advising against the arrest and i'm
prisonment of such railway employees

guilt and directing them in all cases to
expedite the judicial proceedings as
rapidly as possible.
The provision for the release of the
accused on bail also is made wherever
the nature of the offense will permit
it. Ambassador Clayton has reported
to the department of state that of
