Cause of Disaster.

The wreck was caused by the breaking
of the castings on a-CarlOad of bridge
timbers on a ~westbound freight train
which had passed Laurel Run not more
than IS minutes before the passenger
train. The wreck occurred on a curve,
and it was impossible for Engineer
Thornley, to see far enough ahead to de-
tect the obstruction on the tracks.
Thrown Into the River.
The big Atlantic type engine plunged
into the timbers at a velocity of 60 miles
an hour. The engine plowed into the
embankment, and the baggage and ex-
press cars were thrown into the YOugh-
iogheny river. The smoker followed the
engine and landed squarely on top of it.
This allowed the escaping steam from
the engine to fill the car. The smoker
was packed to it's utmost capacity, and
all the passengers were cooked alive.
Roast to Death in Smoker.
Most of the killed were foreigners who
We're literally roasted to death, the bag
gage and smoker telescoping the engine
and Immediately catching fire. The bod
les of many of them are lying burned to
q crisp in the baggage room of the Balti-
more and Ohio depot, to be removed later
to the different undertaking shops in
the city.
Not a single passenger in this car
escaped with his life, and it is estimated
that at least 40 of the dead were in the
smoker.

Relief Train Sent.

AS O O as the wreck was reported in
Connellsville all the available physi-
clans were summoned and a special train
was made up and run at full speed and
the scene of the wreck was reached
about nine o'clock. The injured were
looked after Immediately and everyone
vas made as comfortable as possible. All
were loaded On the relief train and
brought to the Cottage State hospital
here.

A Scene of Destruction.

Never were more terrible scenes to be
witnessed than those about the wreck;
the steam from the cars filled the air;
many of the stricken people climbing
out Of the windows, running with
bowls and screams of delirium into the
bushes, and it is thought that many have
not yet been found. Others were caught
in their wanderings and cared for. One
man, after rushing into the woods, came
back again, went into the baggage car
of the relief train and sitting down,
said: my God!" The next instant he
dropped over dead without another
word. There was not a scar on him. He
had inhaled the e

Cause of the wreck.

The responsibility for the wreck is
laid at the door of a brakeman of the
freight train who failed to flag the
passenger train. He has disappeared.
The engine on the freight had be-

ordered to remain on the main track
and turn the switch for the passenger

In the crash the baggage car tele-
