Atterbury is on his vacation in Maine. He expected to return about October 1, and his car had been overhauled preparatory to sending it to Maine to bring him home. It was sent out in the forenoon for a fest run, and was attached to late afternoon train from Paoli for this city. In the car at the time of the collision were about a dozen who had been en- gagged in overhauling the car. Those who were not killed were injured.
 Paoli is the terminus of the Pennsyl- yania railroads suburban traffic on the main line, and a large yard is located there for the storage of cars and en- zines The local train was made up in the yard on the north side of the rail road and switched across to the east bound track, No. 1, on the south side, and came to 8 stop at the station. Be- fore the switches could be set the New York limited came along at moderate speed on the No. 2 eastbound track, took the cross over switch and crashed into the local train.
 The force of the collision was SO great that the engine of the limited plunged ten feet into the private car, and the latter was forced half way through the day coach ahead.
 At the time of the accident there was less than half a dozen passengers in the local train and they were in the for ward cars which were not damaged. The engineer and fireman of the limit ed were not hurt but a dozen persons on this train were injured by being thrown against seats and the sides of the cars.
 Hundreds of railroad men from the yards came quickly to the rescue. Nearly all the injured were at once placed on the forward cars of the To- cal train, which was run to this city as a special. It stopped at Bryn Mawr, where half a dozen injured were taken to the Bryn Mawr hospital, and tho others were brought here and sent to the various hospitals.
 Four of those who lost their lives were killed almost instantly. The fifth man, Richard Garland, died in the Uni- versity hospital in this city tonight.
