EIGHT ARE KILLED IN WRECK.
Express Train Crashes Into Freight on
Siding-Operator Blamed.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. Eight
men were killed, four fatally injured
and seventeen more or less seriously
hurt when the Chicago & Wheeling
Express Train No. IA, on the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, was wrecked in the
yards at Bellaire, Ohio, a few miles be.
low this city. A freight train had just
taken a siding for the express. The
passenger train, however, failed to
pass over the switch and crashed into
the freisD.
The wreck was due, it is said, to the
failure Of an operator to throw a
switch.
The w~est-bound freight had received
orders to meet the passenger at the
western limits of the Bellaire yards
and was moving slowly along the sid.
ing. At the point where the wreck oc.
CURED there is a very sharp curve
which prevents the engineers Of east.
bound trains from seeing more than a
few feet ahead. The passenger train
swung around the curve very rapidly,
being three hours late and should have
gone on in safety on the main line.
The switch to the siding, however, had
not been turned and the train shot
onto the siding and into the freight.
There was scarcely time to apply the
brakes and no time for the enginemen
to jump. The two big engines were re-
duced to junk by the impact.
