New Orleans, Nov. 12.-It was o

express crashed into the rear of a

Eleven dead and many more injured
some OF them fatally crushed, are the
results of the wreck, which was at.

arrive in New Orleans 20 minutes be.
fore the fast Great Northern train
from Coyington. Wednesday the
Northeastern train was late and the
difference of 20 minutes between the
running of the trains was consider
ably reduced.
When Engineer Blackman OF the
Great Northern train took the North
eastern tracks at Slidell he was given
the usual right of way signal, he says,
and proceeded to move his train
toward New Orleans at as miles an
hour. AS Little Woods was ap-
preached the Northeastern local sud
denly looped up through the fog. En-.
gineer Blackman applied the brakes
and remained at the throttle while the
ponderous locomotive plunged part
way through the train ahead, leaving
behind Y trail of corpses and in.
jured passengers. " ~ VIZ
No one on the Great Northern ex-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern local were
thrown right and left or crushed by
the express locomotive as II tore
through the two rear coaches of the
local. AS Little Woods has no tele-
graph station, serious delay was ex-
perienced in getting a message to
New Orleans, and 1t was two hours
before a rescue train arrived. In the
meantime passengers of the Great
Northern train did all they could to
rescue the injured.
Among the sights that greeted the
rescuers was that of a small boy ap-
parently unable to extricate himself
from the wreckage, which was fast
settling down upon him. A score or
more of men made heroic effort to
get the child, but the wreekage and
escaping steam from the damaged
locomotive cut on their way and they
were forced to stand idly by while the
child called futilely for help untll he
died. ~ iaR
