WRECK ON THE PENNSYL VAN|A COSTS ONE
LIFE AND OTHERS ARE SEVERELY INJURED

scene of the wreck, an eighth of mile
east Of the Hagerstown depot On
striking the grade, thinking that the
track was clear, and following q past
custom set by the engineers on the
Richmond division, the train cut loose
and the manner in which we took the
rails was frightful. With our train
composed of living room. box car,
flat car and crane car, we were max
ing terrific speed. Sixty miles an hour
should Judge was the limit. The train
rumbled on at this speed, and we lit
tie thought of the danger we were in.
AS the train neared Hagerstown, En-
gineer Calkins gave his usual whistle
signal. and expected to find the track
completely clear, having been so no
titled at Millyille. He did not slacken
speed, hoping that the momentum of
the train would carry US up the long
hill, east of Hagerstown. When we
rounded the turn at the water tank in
Hagerstown, a few feet from the sig
nal tower, / then saw that the wreck
was inevitable. / cried to the boys
that we were going to smash 72. They
ran for the rear end of the living coach
hoping to get as far from the front
end as possible. 1t seemed but as a
second after | yelled that we struck

was a sudden jar and then COM
menced that constant grinding, weav-
ing motion as the cars forced them
selves through each other We were
thrown to the floor and pinned there.
The box car to our rear seemed as it

ing forward motion. l looked and

poor Freebern. Dead, | knew. His

pinned in the debris. A spasm of ag

/ was fast as were several others in
the car. Joseph A. German used I'M
usual presence of mind, for after
hard struggle he pulled loose and
crawled out of the car, fell down an
embankment and began to call to
those rushing to the rescue, to make
use of the fire eXtinguisher, as little
blue flames were making some pro-
gress in the front part of the train.
His warning was listened to and not
only the fire extinguishers in the cars,
but the Hagerstown fire department
was called and had the flames in check
before they had progressed far. Sew
eral farmers who came running at the
great noise the smash made, formed
a volunteer bucket brigade and passed
water to the burning wreckage, from
the small canal near which the wreck
occurred.
'Pandemonium surely reigned in
the ranks of the wrecking crews after
the collision had occurred. Those fas-
tened in the debris were screaming
and begging piteously for help, and
pleaded with the rescuers not to al
low them to burn up. 1t looked for a
short time that this would be the
case"

Cause is Not Known.

The cause of the wreck is still CIV
ing the officials much room for specu-
lation and after spending almost the
entire night on the scene of the
wreck. they returned to this city early
this morning and will probably make
an investigation Immediately. Al
though the officials will say absolute
" nothing in regard to the wreck,
it is said that the blame will be
placed on Ray Deeter of Hagerstown.
the engineer and the operator at Mill
vile. The operator at Millville it is
urged. should not have given the
train free track orders farther than
Hagerstown. The engineer, it is said
should not have been running so fast
around the curve near Hagerstown,
in order that he might catch the sig
nal. if the red light was exhibited
as Deetor states it was. Engineer Cal
kins says that he had the white light
and further says that he has his train
crew 10 back him up in his conten-
tion. Deetor. it is also argued. should
never have given the freight train the
main track when he knew that the
wrecking train was so near Hagers-
town. The entire cause will be thor
oughly sifted and punishment meted
out to the right parties.
A prominent engineer on the Rich
mond division states that the long
grade and curve which the wreck
train was taking is one on which all
trains running ON the division pass
over with great speed. He said it is
nothing unusual for trains TO come
down around the hin and into the
edge OF Hagerstown at sixty miles an
hour. 1t was dangerous he admitted.
but he said that the engineers just
trusted to luck. The Pennsylvania
officials were censured as much as
employees, for the wreck in Hagers-

Mioht Have Been Worse.

That the wreck was not even more
serious than it was, was commented on
by several Richmond division Off
cials and trainmen. The impact of the
heavy wrecking train was tremen-
dous, as it veritably hurled itself
against the caboose of the local
freight shattering the cab. The
shock was so great that the large en-
CINE forced itself entirely through the
caboose and its nose rested high upon
the roof of a tall refrigerator car next
to the caboose. This car was loaded
with dressed chickens and hundreds
of dollars worth of the fowls were
lost. Several of these were roasted
and eaten by tired and hungry wreck
ers as they rescued between shifts in
clearing away the wreckage. When
all the cars were on the track and the
two trains were jammed together, it
presented an unusual sight and pho
tographers were busy before complete
darkness fell.
