the bags were quickly picked up by the
gang of thieves that operated there before
assistance arrived.
To-day the wreck is pretty well cleared
away. and little is left at Laurel Run to
remind one that the worst wreck In the
history of. the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
occurred there on Wednesday night
WreckinE crews from Connellsville and
Glenwood with a large force of men have
been working necessarily since the disaster
TO clear the tracks and open traffic. All
traffic the Pittsburg division has been
completely tied up since the wreck. and all
trains TO Connellsville from the west have
come in over the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
Railroad by way of the Youghiogheny
transfer, connecting railroad between
the Lake Erie and the Baltimore & Ohio,
short distance below this station. On ac-
count of both tracks being so badly torn
up and the ballast ploughed out for more
late tonight that the first train passed
over the scene of the wreck.
Coroner Arthur Hagen, of Fayette county,
arrived in Connellsville to-day and immedi-
ately swore In the coroner's jury. The jury
is now viewing the remains and taking EVIL
dence as to the of the disaster.
CAUSE OF THE WRECK.
1t has been learned that the that
dropped the timbers which wrecked the
limited was gondoa No. 3oS7 of the Nickel
plate road 1t was loaded with huge ties
three days ago at Friendship, Nd, and
billed for Newcastle, Pa.
Supt. ]. f. Irwin, Of the Baltimore &
Ohio, declares the blame must be fastened
on the persons who loaded the lumber on
the car. His theory is that the stakes at
the side of the gondola were weak and
gave way under the tension of the car when
1T rounded the curve. Superintendent Irwin
has addressed inquiries to both the starting
point and the destination of the car and
will make a thorough investigation. I ex-
pect to learn tomorrow the condition of the
car on it's arrival at Newcastle" said Mr..
Irwin tonight, land we have started a
rigid inquiry as to the care taken In load
ing
Mr.. Irwin says there is absolutely no truth
in the rumor that ghoulish train wreckers
purposey derailed the train. This could
not have been possible" he said. mo
human being could have accomplished what
the accident did. Merest chance and the
possible carelessness of some one are the
causes. No wreckers did this awful thing.
When asked il there would be any inves-
tigation on the part of the railroad officials
Superintendent ID. w. Duer said Il don't
think that an investigation is necessary to
explain this affair. 1t is all too apparent y
Pointing to half a dozen heavy timbers
under the dining coach, he said: There is
the cause of it An extra freight west
bound had dropped those timbers on the
track and proceeded, unconscious Of the

were ignorant. Thomas, it, seems,

the powder, the entire charge enter
