Sheaffer's Opinion of Wreck.

Charles NJ Sheaffer, superintendent of
passenger transporta ton of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, stated in Philadelphia yester-
day, that the wreck was due to the sudden
stopping of an east-bound freight train.
The Steelton shifter was on the east-bound
track and tagged the freight which was
following.
The sudden application of the air on the
freight train wrecked the tl1irty-ffth car
from the engine and threw 1t over on the
westbound passenger track just as the
Cleveland and Cincinnati express was ap-
preaching or passing that point. When the
passenger train was brought to a stand
sun one-half of 1t had passed the wrecked
freight car.
In the thirty-sixth car was cargo of
dynamite. consigned TO Kerbaugh & Co.,
contractors, at Columbia, Pa. When the
passenger train stopped the dynamite car
of the freight train was opposite the third
sleeping car of the express.
1T appears" Mr.. Sheaffer said that
there were one or two slight explosions
previous to the big explosion. These were
probably caused by the express train run
ming over several sticks of dynamite which
had fallen to the track from the car.
THE thirty-fifth freight car was side
swiped by the express, and it Is supposed
the dynamite car was broken in the col
lision. The entire express train was either
wrecked or burned"
