bath morning during Parson Wood
wards sermon an old colored woman
in the gallery fell asleep and tumbled
off the bench to the floor. making a
loud noise. Squire Fullam. who was
rather deaf. knew that something un-

Sherer is survived by father and
mother and one brother, Carleton
Sherer, Of Chicago, who is married.
Charley was a prince of good fellows
and none felt his kindness more than
did his invalid father. He was the
mainstay of the family and young
man above reproach.
Mr.. Moore was a son of the late
Jehiel f. Moore, and lived with his
widowed mother and one sister on
Kinsey street. He was con-
nected with the Richmond Natural
Gas company since September II,
1897. Mr.. E. G. Hibberd, Of the
above named company said of him:
"He was an exemplary young man,

Hill Family.
A Palladium reporter called at the
Hill home, 1913 South Thirteenth
street. There was sorrow indeed at
this home that Yesterday knew only
JOY. The Hill familx a<e been resi-
dents Of this city fJ Zine years, com
ing here from Fountain City, Indiana,
where both Of the young ladies were
born. When the Palladium represen-
tative called at the Hill home the
disconsolate father and mother were
just returning from the hospital,
where they had visited their stricken
daughter, Bertha. They found her in
better condition than they really look
ed for.
Shortly before their arrival at the
hospital Miss Hill heard some parties
passing along the street discussing
the awful accident, and among other
things, she heard them say "three of
the party were killed outright This
was the first knowledge she had of
the fate of the three companions with
whom she had ridden for the brief
space of one hour-that hour in which
three lives were sacrificed on a rail-
road crossing-tha hour that brought
desolation of three Richmond homes
that hour that deprived this city of
three Of its best young people and
placed another bright daughter in the
city hospital. She received the sad
intelligence in a philosophical way
and bore up we'll under the ordeal.
The meeting with. the father and
mother was indeed pathetic, but the
good parents found solace in the fact
that maybe God in His providence.
would spare them this daughter. which
would in measure ameliorate their
sufferings and assuage their grief.
Mr.. Hill said to the Palladium
that the report printed in the special
editions gotten out by the other two
city papers that the party were going
to dance was erroneous and did
them an injustice. As the evening
was cool and the rain of yesterday
had laid the dust they decided to ride
to Cedar Springs. They did not in
tend to stop at the dance and only in
tended to pass through the grounds.

ladies didn t care much about crossing

And Another Young Lady Very
Seriously Injured.

!. A terrible railroad accident occur
: red last night in which three promi-
nent persons of this city lost their
. lives and another prominent young

JOHN MOORE, aged thirty-two
. MISS MAMIE HILL, aged thirty
four.
The injured:

: ty-fve.
Last evening about O'Clock these
. four young society people left this
: city for Cedar Springs, Ohio
and when crossing the Penn
sylvania track the carriage in
; which the party was riding was struck
by an east-bound fast passenger train
No. "a. The carriage was demolish-
. ed and Charles Sherer, John Moore
! and Miss Mamie Hill met instant
death, while Miss Bertha Hill, in some
unaccountable manner, was saved.
. The bodies of the unfortunate vic
. Tins were taken to New Paris by the
. trainmen, and special train ordered
: sent over from here by Superinten-
dent Wood, who was an occupant of a
berth on the sleeper when the acci-
dent occurred, to bring the bodies to
this city.
Miss Bertha Hill was in total ie-
norance Of the awful fate that befell
. her sister and the two young men,
. and the train crew, realizing the stu

ING her with the real facts in the case.
They tenderly picked her lup and

Bertha Hill.

A thorough examination at the los
pital revealed the fact that Miss
Hills injuries We're quite serious.
The frontal bone of the skull over the
right eye was fractured. Thereswas
no pressure on the brain as the young
g lady was rational. Three ribs were
fractured and the right hip bone was
also broken.
Mamie Hill.
An examination of the body of this
young lady showed that death was
probably due to a fracture Of the
skull. One of her shoulders was
broken, and there was an abrasion on
the forehead, but no cuts.
Charles Sherer.
He suffered a fractured skull and
broken lee, with numerous other
bruises about his body.
John Moore.
This young man S head was crushed
in several places and an examination
proved that his death was instantan-
eous. ------
How it Occurred.
The nigt was dark and the rain
was falling In a gentle shower. The
curtains of the surrey were down and
the horse was going at lively gait,
1t had reached the north tracls when
all al once the occupants. of The We
hicle We're startled by the glare of
the headlight of an approaching
train. There are double tracks, and
by this time the horse had reached the
south track. Mr.. Sherer was drivin"
and drew up the reins, bringing the
horse to a sudden standsti.l. He
probably wouldn't have done this had
he known the rig was directly acro-s
the tracks. Miss Mamie Hill occupied
the ftont seat with Mr.. Slerer. The
parties in the back seat called TO Mr..
Shercr TO drive on, for they evidently
saw the impending danger. At the
cries of Mr.. Moore and Miss Hill,
the whip was applied, and the horse
made a lunge to the south side of
the tracks. Alas it was too late, for
by this time the fast train, which
was running at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, was upon them. AS quick
as a fash the rig was struck squarely
by the iron horse, smashing it to
smithereens and throwing the occu-
pants ont. Miss Bertha Hill was
found in the ditch at the south side
of the track, and close by her was the
remains of Mr.. Sherer, cold in death.
Miss Mamie Hill was also hurled into
the south ditch and instantly killed.
Mr.. Moore was thrown great dis
tance and was also instantly killed.
Families of Victims.
The news of the terrible accident
was broken to the families of the vie
Tins as gently as possible. 1t was
terrible information to impart to them
but 1t was a sad duty and it had to be
done. When the families were told
about the horrid railroad crossing
accident that deprived them of loved
ones they were prostrated with grief
and are today disconsolate. Mr..

the tracks after night, but finally
concluded to go.
Mamie Hill, the deceased young la
dy, was a teacher of music and a gen.
eral favorite She acquired her mu-
steal education in Chicago, and was
a graduate of Earlham College. She
was also a member of South Eighth
street Friends church and a valued
member of the Thursday Club.
Coroner Here.
DR.. Ryder, of Eaton. Ohio, coroner
of Preble county.in whose jurisdiction
the accident happened, was in the
city this morning and viewed the re-
mains of the unfortunate victims. He
also visited the scene Of the accident
and after a thorough investigation
will make his report.
Action of Train Grew.
Engineer McGrew said he saw the
rig on the track through the glare of
the powerful headlight and it was
just at the time the big engine was
rounding the curve He also said it
was too late to prevent a collision, but
he applied the emergency~brake, hut
Of course, owing to the close proxim-
ity of the rig to the engine, it was
Intellectual Soon as possible he
brought his engine to a full stop.
Here to the great CONSERVATION of
the entire crew, was a scene that beg
CARED description. Conductor Steven
son ordered the train backed to the
crossing. When the train returned to
the crossing the crew and several of
the passengers alighted and found the
results Of the accident even worse
than they had contemplated. Mr.. Nc
Grew says Mamie Hill was just draw
ing her last breath when he arrived at
her side
What the Doctors Say.
Drs. Marvel and Bramka mp, who
were called to attend Bertha Hill at
the hospital, made the following state
ment to the Palladium this after
noon:
"Miss Hill is suffering from three
broken ribs, dislocated shoulder,
and break in the crest of the illium.
There are no symptoms of internal in
jury and her general feeling is good.
She is holding up remarkably we'll
under the trying circumstances. She
tries to be brave and says she must
keep up for her parents sake and
then large tears come trickling down
her cheeks.
sWhen the work of setting the
shoulder began she was put under the
influence Of an anaesthetic, and came
out Of it in splendid shape.
ssAnd now after about eighteen
hours. we can say the patient is do
ing remarkably well. =

The Community.
When the news of the sad accident
reached this city the greatest con-
sternation prevailed. Hundreds Of
people focked to the station eager and
anxious to get information in regard
to one of the worst accidents that ever
occurred in this part of the country
Nothing has so shocked the citizens
of this city since the Rich crossing
accident and the awful Hagerstown
wreck. In each of these three wrecks
three persons lost their lives.
Hundreds of hands were willing
and ready last night to lend any aid
possible, but all was already done
; that could be to assist in caring for
the dead and injured. A large num-
ber of people had retired for the night
and were aroused from their slumbers
and went to the station or called GEN.
trail to get what knowledge they could
of the accident. The sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the af-
ficted families in this, their hour Of
sorrow.
Scene Of Accident.
The scene of the wreck was today
visited by hundreds of people and as
usual the relic hunters and the cam
era fiends were on hand. Hundreds
of pieces of wood, rocks, etc, were
wreck.
Railroad People.
Nobody regrets the wreck more
than the railroad officials. This was
shown to a great degree last night
when Superintendent Wood left his
sleeper, hastily dressed and did ev-
erything in his power to assist in the
work of caring for the dead and in
jured. All the other officials of the
road at the local station are regret
ting the affair today and express great
sympathy for the affected families.
The Horse.
Strange as it may seem the horse
that was hitched to the ill-fated sur
rey escaped with only slight injuries.
The rig was hired from John Ben
ning's barn and the surrey was a fine
one, the same one that Mr.. Sherer
always hired. The horse, when the ac-
cident occurred, was relieved from the
rig and ran down the road He was
caught by John Purviance and put in
his barn. Aside from few bruises
the horse is uninjured.
The horse was returned to Mr.. Ben
ning's barn this morning, and there
was not a scratch on him. It is re-
markable that the horse escaped un-
injured and this is accounted for by
the swingle-tree breaking and letting
the horse walk out of the shafts.
