to the engines but practically 10 hurt
to the trainmen and passengers. Re
pairs We're speedily made and the
trains were taken on ther way after
about three hours delay.
The collision was the result OF En-

those OF Wednesday. 1t is said that
he had both these pass orders in his
pocket and read the wrong one; this
one ordered the two trains to pass at
Clinton, whereas that of Wednesday,
which he should have followed order

Train % stopped at Parks station to
let off two passengers, and was Just
pulling out of the station when the

into it. Speed had not been gained,
hence the shock was not so great as
it might have been. However, it was
sufficient to throw practically every
passenged from his scat, giving them
severe jostling. The trains did not

turned to the city during the delay.
That afternoon great crowds from
