COLLISION IN FRONT OF STATION
| The wreck occurred directly In front of the
Lansingburg station. at point where the grade
is one OF the steepest the line Of the road
which winds it's way through the mountainous
country to Boston.
The passenger train was one of the best
equipped. well of the fastest the
road. 1t is a regular train, known No. 8, and
leaves Boston daily at 9:30 6. m. for Albany.
1t generally consists 1t did to-day, Of five
cars. a baggage car. smoker, day coach and
two parlor cars. AS can be ascertained
with any Gegree of defniteness-for the rail-
road officials and employees retcent-the
train about hour late to-day when 1t
pulled up in front OF the Lansingburg station to
watt for a chance to get into the Troy station.
Some of the railroad say that soon as
the train stopped f1agman sent to the rear
to signal approaching trains. Nothing definite
can be learned this point, however.
There is a sharp curve a short distance above
where the collision occurred The snorting of q
locomotive just around the curve was the first
intmation of the approaching special, which
came laundering along with eighteen cars on
the steep grade, and in the fraction OF a second
had crashed into the end of the passenger
train, smashing the last two cars. which were
Pumans. like eggshells.
Both these cars We're swept from the track
and rolled down an embankment into the back
yards OF some tenement houses situated along
the track The engine of the special kept right
on for dozen yards and then turned turtle. the
front end ploughing into the ground and the
tender backing into the behind and telescop-
ing 1t.
The special was drawing four troops of the
18th United States Cavalry from Fort Ethan
Allen to Newport News, where they to en-
bark for Cuba. The soldiers lost no time in
recovering from the shock of the collision and
quickly got TO work TO rescue the injured. whose
cries for help high above the yes of the
railroad men giving orders for their assistance.
DAYLIGHT AIDS THE WORK
Daylight facilitated the work. and in COM
| paratively short time most of those pinned down
by the wreckage were on their way TO the Leon
ard Hospital which is block from the scene
of the wreck.
Many of the passengers on the train had left
It when IT came TO a temporary stop and
were pacing up and down the track when the
crash came. To this of them probably
owe their lives. One mans grief pitiab'o
He was J. w. Dacey, and he up and down
the track crying for his wife. In few minutes,
when her nfeless form identified by him. he
collapsed completely and was taken to a nearby
house.
There he told his listeners that he had been
married last night at Arlington, Mass. Tho
couple were on their honeymoon and had planned
an extended trip Tonight he was making ar
rangements TO have the body of his bride
