of opening it, closed it, so that the pas
senger train, running at about twenty
five miles an hour, and too close to
stop, ran into the freight train, driving
it several yards down the track and
smashing it up pretty badly.
Some of the passengers we're thrown
almost the full length of the coaches,
and the conductor was thrown through
the door out on the ground. It looked
a good deal like a miracle that no
more harm was done to the passen-
gers, and there was more excitement
for a while than injury, especially
among the feminine passengers.
Prof. Powers paid a very high com
pliment to Conductor Maxwell, who, al.
though hurt more than anybody else,
was more anxious for the safety of his
passengers than for his own welfare,
and would not consent to having ply
sician summoned for himself until sat
isfied that none of the passengers were
seriously hurt.
