Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 12.-Six persons
were more or less seriously injured
about 1;s0 o'clock this morning when
the Pennsylvania special train No. %,
from Chicago to New York on the

up and narrowly ESCAPED injury or

Operator at Fault.
The passenger train had just received
orders to leave the ~eastbound track and
travel east on the westbound track.
According to reports received here. an
operator forgot that the freight train
was on the westbound track and gave
the passenger white block. Engineer
Martin of the passenger says he saw
the freight about twenty yards in
front of him, bu at the speed he was
travelling he was unable to avoid a coli
lisiOn. Both engines were wrecked,
and the combination car of the passen-
ger train was completely demolished.
About six coal cars were smashed.
The impact was terrific and the pas
sengers were thrown violently to the
floors of the cars. That the train es-
capped a disastrous wreck is due. it is
said, to the fact that it was travelling
only twenty miles an hour.
A Wrecking crew from this city
cleared the track, when the Pennsyl-
vania special was made up again and,
with the Manhattan limited, departed
for the east two hours late.
