WASHINGTON, Dec. So.-An appalling /
disaster occurred tonight at o'clock on /
the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad at Terra /
Gotta, about three miles from this city, |
In which about thirty-hve persons were /
killed and more than sixty injured some
of them so seriously that they will die. |
The accident was caused by the collision |
Of train No. c. due here at 6:$ p m. |
from Frederick, Nd, known as the Fred |
eriek special with deadhead passenger
equipment special OF eight cars. More
than 200 passengers were aboard the ILL !
fated train. The railway officials late to- |
night were unable to assign any cause for
the collision. AS soon as the news of the
wreck reached this city all ambulances
available, with as many physicians as
could be assembled, were sent to the scene.
The dead bodies were found lying beside
the track for a considerable distance. The
wreck occurred at 639 p. m. A dense fog
was prevailing and made objects percepuble
but a few feet ahead. 1t was impossible
at FIRST to determine the exact extent Of
the catastrophe.
Those passengers in the forward coach,
who were but slightly bruised, heard the
groans of the dying and wounded and did
what they could to give aid. A number
of the passengers started to walk to
Brookland, three-fourths of mile away.
The moment the first of the survivors
reached Brookland a general call was sent
out for doctors and ambulances DR.. r.
w. Frischorn, DR.. Stern and DIR. ]. H.
Brooks Of Brookland responded and were
taken to the scene in automobiles
