FATAL WRECK
NEAR DUNDEE
SnOwsiOrm Causes Rear End
Collision In SCOtland--I6 Dead
and Thirty Are Injured.

DUNDEE. Scotland. Dec. 29.-In a
railroad collision caused indirectly by
the heavy snOwstorm of the last few
days sixteen persons have been killed
and over thirty injured.
Then accident occurred near Ar
breath, on Itle North British railroad,
between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
some distance north OF here. Among
the persons injured is Alexander VIII
liam Black. member of the house of
commons from BanfTshire. Scotland.
The accident is attributed To the
heavy fall of snow. owing to which
trains from London for Aberdeen were
held up at Arbroath. During the day,
however. the line was cleared, and
one train proceeded for Dundee.
1t had stopped at Elliot Junction.
and the danger signals were thought
to have been set. They failed to act,
however, through being clogged up
with snow or from some other cause
not yet a%scertained. and an express
train dashed into the rear of the wait
ing train.
VII ItuCh Il both itEN blOhths ~
number of others sustained serious in
iuries. and 1t is feared that some of
them will succumb. Everything pos
sible is being done to succor the
wounded, but the rendering of assist
ance is attended with much difficulty
owing to the blockade. and the suffer
ing can be alleviated but slowly.
Telegraphic communication between
here and Arbroath is unsatisfactory
because of the weather conditions, and
details of the accident are coming
through slowly.
1t is many yeaHs since central Eu-
O generally has suffered so severely
from an arctic visitation as ii has this
Christmas week. From France. Bel
GUM. Switzerland. Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary the sane tale is repeated
of heavy snowstorms. the interruption
of railroad, vehicular and telegraphic
communication. the loss of life and
general discomfort and Inconvenience
in the towns as well as in the country
districts.
The Arbroath accident occurred on
the anniversary of Scetland's worst
railroad accident. the Taybridge dis
aster of 1879. and within twenty miles
of the actual scene thereof. In the
wreck of twenty-seven years < the
bridge collapsed and precipitated a
train and over seventy people into the
river. No one escaped.

9 FROZEN TO DEATH.
Storm in Great Britain Most Severe
for Thirty Years.

LONDON. Dec. 20. Nine persons
have been found frozen to death on
roads in England alone during the last
twenty-four hours.
The list doubtless will be much
heightened when communication with
isolated parts of the provinces, now
snowbound, is restored.
The continuing snowfall has created
the worst situation known in thirty
years in Great Britain. and conditions
here apparently are general through
out Europe.
From all parts of Great Britain come
stories of trains buried in snowdrifts,
the worst case being that of a passen-
ger train from Dundee to Edinburgh,
which ran into a drift at 6 O'Clock at
night three miles from st. Andrews
and is still imbedded.
A rescue train also stuck in a drift.
and all efforts during the night to
reach them were futile. but small
quantities of provisions We're conveyed
to the passengers and crew.
Forty to fifty women had narrow es-
capes from death owing to the col
lapse of the snow laden roof of a
Covent Garden warehouse, but most
of them were rescued from the wreck
age with only slight injuries.

laws passed by the last Legislature.
The present reform tax laws were en-
acted at the suggestion of the COVER
nor, and he may make some SUCCESS
tons this winter as to changes that
are advisable, although it is under
stood that in a general way he is very
we'll pleased with the n in
which the tax question was settled by
the last legislature.

The Conductors Testimony.
Conductor Thomas J.. Duane, of
train 1928, was called as the next wit
ness. He testified to hearing a rat
thing sound under the train as it was
crossing Smith street, and immed-
lately signalled the engineer to stop.
Train Going so Miles An Hour.
The conductor said the train was
running about fifty miles al hour at
the time of the accident, which was
it's usual rate of speed through this
city. Both the engineer and conduc-
tor swore that they We're not travel
ling over their usual rate of speed,
although they We're eleven minutes
late. The engineer, in his testimony,
: said that he saw a lantern in the
hands of the Smith street gate tend
er. The Smith street gate tender
said that all his lanterns were in his
shanty.
Market st. Gateman's Story.
James f. Seguine, the Market
street ga%te-tender, was the last wit
ness called. He said he had used a
lantern Wednesday night to warn
trespassers, as his gates were not in
working order. This statement un-
tangled the mystery of the difference
in the statement made by the engi-
neer and the Smith street gate tender.
The jury was out just twenty-five
minutes, when they returned with a
written verdict, placing the blame
upon the railroad.
Now Up to the Prosecutor.
The testimony was stenographical-
ly taken down and copies will be fur
nished Prosecutor Berdine, who may
bring criminal action against the
railroad.
