OF WRECK DELAYED.
TWENTIETH CENTURY LIMITED
 NOT IN SMASH.
Limited Runs on Time of Another Train and Thus Escapes Coi- Iiston--StOrm Adds to
 Confusion.

New York, Dec. 14.--In the derange- ment of communication by wire which still prevails because of the late storm, complete details of the train wreck last night at Northeast. Pa.. were not obtainable until the arrival here at 2:55 p. m. of the New York limited.
 A statement of how the accident happened was then given out at the New York Central offices. telling what trains were in collision and who were killed and injured.
 Train number 26. eastbound leaves St. Louis at S:45 a. m. and Is due at Cleveland at $40 ?. m, where II be- comes the second section of the Twen- tieth Century Limited. due from Chi cago just five minutes earlier.
 On Monday night all trains were late owing to the storm and the New York Limited reached Cleveland first and took the right of way ahead of the Twentieth Century, thus becom- ing number 26 instead of second num- Der 26. It was this change of mum bers that led to the misunderstanding when nasty and scattered news of the wreck was first assembled. that the twentieth Century Limited had been in collision.
 What happened was this: ss
 Near Northeast, Pa. train number 6. the Chicago. Cleveland and New York special, was stalled with a broken en- zine. Behind her piled up one after another, numbers ? and 10. the Boston and New York specials. with brake men ont behind. Into this string of blocked trains came laundering num- Der 26 behind her schedule and mak- ing up lost time.
