Enginccrs AUert Second Mentor
Wreck on Lake Shore Road.
IBy Telegraph TO 1slc Tribune.


Painesville. Ohio, Aug. 1o.-The presence Of
mind of two engineers of the Lake Shore Rail-
road to-day prevented repetition of the wreck
at Mentor several years ago when the Twenti-
eth Century Limited into open switch
and more than score of passengers were killed.
The Lake Shore fast mail train bound for New
York was ordered to take another track to-day.
and when it running near Mentor at its limit
speed the engineer saw approaching fast freight
train at top speed on the same track. Both
gineers realized the situation at the same time
and both applied the air brakes with such force
as to knock the cars together as if each train
had jammed into another Passengers on the
fast mail were thrown on the floor and against
the seats. and the majority Of them, with
visions of another Mentor wreck. ran to the ves
tibules and jumped.
Fortunately the train had slowed greatly by
this time and no one injured by jumping.
The engines of the mail and the freight stopped
a foot apart. so narrow was the escape from
collision The Lake Shore officers are making
an investigation.
