Rivera Wild Scene Among
the Passengers. Nif

Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 24.-With q
terrible crash and a grinding noise
the Duquesne limited, the fastest
through passenger train from, Pitts
burg to New York on the Baltimore &
Ohio, plowed into a pile Of lumber at
Laurel Run, two miles west OF Daw-
son, at 7:45 o'clock yesterday evening
and it is known that So per-
sons were killed, rs probably NOR
tally injured and so slightly hurt. The
train left Pittsburg in the evening,
running q few minutes late, in charge
Of Engineer William Thornley,, Of Con-
nellsville. When approaching Laurel
Run, which is particularly fine piece
of roadbed, the train was running at
a high rate Of speed. Suddenly the
passengers were thrown from their
seats by the lightning-like application
of the air brakes and moment later
there was a terrific crash. The train
was made up OF two baggage, two day
coaches, one sleeper and one dining
car and at the time was carrying, at
the lowest estimate, $50 passengers.
The train plowed along for a consid-
cradle distance and the cars were torn
to pieces, passengers jumping, scream
ing and falling from the wreck as 1t
tore along. Suddenly the engine
swerved to the left and the coaches
plunged down over the embankment to
the edge Of the Youghiogheny river.
The minute the cars stopped rolling I
there was a wild scene. Many were
pinioned beneath the wreckage and I
the screams and cries that rent the
air were beyond description. Many |
were injured in their msd excitement
and plunged into the river. Others,
pinioned beneath the heavy timbers,
pleaded in agonized tones. for release.
So terrific was the force Of the wreck
that nearly every passenger suffered
3 moments Inconsistencies and many
Of the able-bodIed men were unable
to assist in helping the injured from
The wreck on account Of having
