The Collver special Is an annual ex.
cursion run from Cleveland to Florida
points and Cuba, under the direction
of General Passenger Agent Collver,
of the Big Four system. It started
from Cleveland Monday In two sec.
tiOns. The first consisted of four
Pullmans and a dining car, ana the
second of five Pullmans, diner and a
baggage car. The train was being run
on the schedule of what Is known as
train No. and the sections were Is
minutes apart when they left Chatta.
nooga The train was late at Dallas
and 1t was well along toward p. m.
when the second section slowed down
for the trestle crossing Copper Mine
creek
On the south side of this trestle Is
a curve. The engine passed the bridge
In safety, then left the rails and turn.
ed on its side. The baggage car
turned over on the banks, the five
heavy Pullmans following, crashing
through the trestle and falling to the
bed of the creek. The last car, an OBJ.
servation coach, rested with one end
in the mud and the other on the bank
above. One car in the middle of the
train cracked in the middle through
the strain and pinned down Jacob
Roth, of Erie, Pa, and his wife. They
were not seriously injured, however,
and were able to go to hotel here.
On board the train were some 200
excursionists. That they escaped
without fatal injury is considered re-
markable.
