LOCAL TRAIN
WRECKED AT
ELIZABETH
Axle Of a Freight Train Passing
on Another Track Caused Cars
to Fall on Coaches.
ONE MAN WAS FATALLY HURT

One of the most peculiar accidents
ever recorded, occurred on the Penn
sylvania railroad at 625 o'clock this
morning between train No. 633 which
left here at 6.05 o'clock, and a
freight, just south Of the South
street station, Elizabeth.
The passenger train, in charge of
Paxton Booz, of this city, had just
pulled out from the station when
an axle broke on one Of the cars of
the freight, which was passing on
another track, northbound.
AS the axle snapped the freight
train of twenty-eight cars, loaded
with brick and iron pipe, buckled,
and several cars in the center were
hurled against the passenger train.
The freight cars hit the local train
In the middle and derailed two cars,
one of which contained twelve pas
sengers. The car hung over the
South street trestle and only for a
telegraph pole, would have rolled
down the embankment. The pas
sengers, when they recovered from
the shock, found themselves lying
on the side of the car, but beyond a
few bruises, were uninjured.
The collision wrecked both trains
and the entire four tracks were
blocked.
Robert Wieble, brakeman on
the freight train, who was fatally
injured, was removed to the General
Hospital, Elizabeth.
Among the passengers were John
Miller, of Broad street, Matthew
Mortenson, of Gordon street, this
city. and Joseph Alexander, Of
Woodbridge. Henry F. Markthaler
and James Flood, both of Elizabeth,
were cut and bruised, but as near
as can be learned there were no To-
cal people on the passenger train,
besides the crew.
All traffic was blocked the only
train which passed through, being
one for Trenton, which carried the
delegates to the democratic state
convention. Wreclring cars from
Jersey City, New Brunswick and
Trenton are still at work and hope
to clear away the debris by o'clock
this afternoon
