YOUNGSTOWN, Pa. Jan. 23.-Three
persons are dead. rs were. injured and
80 were slightly hurt as the result OF
rear-end collision at Summer Hill.
IL miles from here, at 1918 o'clock
this morning, on the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
The trains In the wreck were ruiz
ming as the first and second sections
of train No. 81, westbound from New
York.
been ascertained at 10 O'Clock this
morning. but II Is thought that 1t was
due to the engineer of the second sec
morning fog, to see the signals OF a
flagman, who had been sent back by
the crew OF the first section.
The first section of the train was
due here at 1908 this morning and
was running on fairly good time. For
some reason, however, before get
ting near Summer Hill 1t began run
ming slow and at that point came to
a stop on account OF the engineer re-
ceiving a signal. The crew. knowing
that the section was following In the
rear, sent back a fiagman for the pur-
pose OF giving the crew in charge OF
the section following the signal to
stop.
The weather was very foggy and
the fagman kept on travelling In the
direction of the oncoming train.
He gave the signal but the express
continued on its way. without applying
the brakes, idicating that the signal
was not seen nor received.
At the rear of the first section was
a chair car and next TO this was O
Pullman sleeping car. In the rear car
were the three men who met death
while In the sleeping car were many
of those who received the worst injur-
les
The second section was a double
header and the engines on reaching
the rear of the first section plowed
right into the chair car. reducing 1t al
most to splinters. and also went about
four-fifths through the Pullman. The
sleepers were thrown to one side.
while both engines went through tho
car, to the left side. Neither OF the
engines. however, left the track.
AS soon as the engines were brought
to a stop, those who had escaped in.

sistance Of those who had been less
fortunate. DR.. w. M. Eddy, OF Milan.
