Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 1.-Twenty
persons were killed and nearly one hundred
more or less hurt by the wrecking of the
Cleveland and Cincinnati express bound
westward on the Pennsylvania railroad at
Paxtang, five miles east of here. at 1:4O
o'clock this morning. The passenger train,
With almost every berth on her many sleep
srs filled, crashed into a wrecked east
oound freight train, exploding a car filed
with 5000 pounds of low-grade dynamite.
The loss of life and the many injuries re-
reived were caused not by the wreck ITSELF
but by the dynamite explosion Some
hours must elapse before the exact number
of dead and injured will be known, because
during the night some of the dead were
buried and the injured were taken out of
the wreck and placed in private houses in
d widely scattered territory. Twelve of the
dead are at the morgue, and other bodies
are being brought to the dead house as
quickly as they are loaded.
