SEVEN men DIE
IN TRAIN WRECK
Collision Occurs Because Of a
Binding Rainstorm.
WAS A MOST HORRIBLE SIGHT
Fast Freight, Rushing 45 Miles an
Hour, Strikes Slow Moving Work
Traln-seven Killed Outright and
Seven Are Injured.

Jefferson, Pa, Aug. 20.-PIunging
through a binding rainstorm, at the
rate of 45 miles an hour, early Sun
day, fast freight train on the Penn
sylyania railroad crashed into a slow
ly moving work train at Sang Hol-
low, killing seven and seriously in
Juring seven others of the work train
crew. Three of the latter will prob
ably die. Engineer Woods was the
only member of the crew of the
freight train who was injured.
The work train had stopped at a
water plug near Sang Hollow to take
water. A Fort Wayne freight was fol
lowing, and because of the rain the
engineer Of the freight was unable to
see the work train until just before
the crash. The engineer of the freight
jumped, and was fatally hurt. The
fireman remained on the engine and
was uninjured When the freight en-
sine crashed into the work train it
ploughed its way through the cars. All
OF the laborers and others of the work
train crew were asleep, and those that
were killed probably never knew they
were struck.
According to reports, Engineer S.
N. Woods, of the freight train, had in
creased the speed of his train just be
fore the crash, that he might take
water in the water pans along the
track, and in so doing is said to have
exceeded his orders.
When news of the wreck reached
this city two wreck crews were sent
out.
The conditions as described by
members Of these crews upon their
arrival were appalling. Dead and
dying were lying on the traces, while
some of the injured were hanging out
OF the windows Of the cabin" car
crying for help and begging to he
saved from fire that had started in
the wreck.
The cries of the wounded, the burn
ing cars, the overturned engines, and
the sound of escaping steam combined
to make a most terrible sight The
to rescue the men from the cabin car.
but owing to the fact that the doors
were battered in on the wreck, and
the timbers were crushed so that en-
trance was impossible, it was some
hours before it was found out how
many were dead. Four men were
dead when taken out The others
died after being taken to a hospital.
1t was reported that four others are
in a dying condition. According to
reports, Engineer S. N. Woods, of the
freight train had increased the speed
of his train just before the crash. that
he might take water from the water
pans along the track, and in so doing
is said to have exceeded his orders
When the news of the wreck reach
ed this city two wreck trainss and
crews were dispatched to the scene of
the wreck.
Some Of the injured, who had been
thrown from their hunks to the side
Of the tracks, were crying and moan
ing on the ground.
When the wreck had been cleared
away it was found that part of the
last car on the work train had been
thrown $50 feet up a hill at the point
OF the wreck, and one set of the trucks
had been hurled in an opposite direc-
ton rs feet into the river.
Officials from Pittsburg will arrive
here to investigate.

ing tho worst Of the panic, bring wild
stories concerning the number of
deaths by the earthquake and fire

The most important requirement OF

soundness: that is, he must have no
chronic disease that will unfit him for
work of general nature. He must be
sound in wind and in limb, able to do
a reasonable amount of work without
undue fatigue or premature break
downs The majority of the horses
that 20 to the city are compelled to do
their work on hard unyielding pave
ment 5, pulling heavy loads or develop
ing speed that Is an even greater
strain on the feet and legs. The
average period of usefulness OF sound
horsepn city streets is not more than
five years and 1t is plainly evident that
this time will be materially decreased
II he begins this work in an unsound
condition Broken wind, sidebones,
unsound hooks, and all the other
various Ills a horse is heir to should be
carefully guarded against, as they
greatly diminish his value.
