While Many Were Pinioned Be-

Crept Towards Them With
Agonizing Swiftness.
HEAVY FOG RESPONSIBLE.
ENGINEER OF THE FLYER COULD
NOT SEE ACCOMMODATION UN-
TIL 1T WAS TOO LATE TO STOP
HIS HEAVY TRAIN.

Camden. n j.. Dec. 27-Three per-
sons were killed, five fatally injured.
and eighteen injured, in rear-end col
lision between the Camden accommo-
dation and the Atlantic City Express
on the Pennsylvania railroad here this
morning. Passenger coaches took fire,
but the fire department checked the
flames by playing streams of water on
them. Many passengers were pin
ioned beneath the debris and were
thus saved from cremation. The in
iured were hurried in ambulances to
the hospitals. Burning Goals from the
fi-e box of the engine were RESPONSE
BILE for the fire. A heavy fog prevail
ing, was responsible for the wreck.
The engineer of the flyer could not
see far enough ahead and when the
other train loomed in sight it was too
late to stop. The monster mogul en-
gine plowed into the rear of the ac-
commodation, crunching the coaches
like kindling.

E. E. McDivitt, Local Merchant
Asphyxiated at His Home
On South Twelfth Street
Thursday Night.
WAS ALONE IN HOUSE AND
DEATH DISCOVERED LATE,
This Afternoon Friends Sus-
picioned Something Wrong,
And Forced Into the House
Where Body Was Found.

E. E. McDivitt. we'll known man
interested in the Richmond Shoe COM
pany, was found dead in his bed this
afternoon at two o'clock by neighbors,
who suspected that there was some
thing wrong in the McDivitt home, on
South Twelfth street. The cause of
the death was asphixiation. Mr. Nc
Divitt had probably been dead fifteen
or sixteen hours when the body was
found. Mrs. McDivitt left Wednes-
day for a visit with relatives in Win
chester and was notified of her hus-
bands tragic end shortly after the
body was discovered. He was alone
IN the house at the time of his death.
This afternoon when an effort was
made to enter the house by the front
and rear doors they were found TO be
locked. Neighbors had seen Mr.. Nc
Divltt enter the house the previous
evening and none of them had seen
him leave this forenoon. 1t was de-
termined to enter the house by one of
the upstairs windows, so a ladder was
secured and John klute gained en-
trance to the home in this manner.
He was almost overpowered by the
stencil of gas but succeeded in max
ing his way TO McDivitt's bed room
which is in the rear of the second
floor
The door was open just a little
Pushing his way into the room Klute
was Mortified to find the dead body
of McDivitt. HIS was clad in his night
clothes. Gas was found TO be leaking
from jet. There were numerous ar
ticles attached to this Jet and it is the
suposition that McDivitt on retiring
last night had touched one of these
articles and accidentally opened the
valve. McDivitt was man of
most cheerful disposition and always
contented with his lot in life. so that
the suicide theory is not entertained
He was a man about forty-five years
of age and was married about a year
ago to Mrs. Miriam Doan. widow of
Isaac Doan.
