All the dead were employees of the
railroad company, returning to their
homes in the small towns along the
railroad to spend Sunday.
Orders Were Disobeyed.
An extra freight, made up of heavy
coal and provision cars, was running
east. 1t should have taken a siding
to allow No. 5 to pass. Such were
the orders. Why they were disregard
ed will never be known. for all those
who should have seen that they were
obeyed are dead.
According to a statement made by
the railroad officials. the wreck was
due. as far as can be learned, to for
getfulness on the part of the engine
man and conductor of the freight
train. who. after the passage of train
No. 1t. which leaves Baltimore al
AIS for Union Bridge. seemed to be
impressed with the idea that the No. j
passenger train had also passed.
