EXPRESS OFF RAILS
eoTH CENTURY WRECK.
No Passengers Hurt-Engi-
neer and Fireman Killed.

Utica, NJ T., Jan. 25.-Running al last
speed past the signals which warned ene
engineer to slow down In order TO cross
over to another track. the New york Gem
traF Railroads Twentieth Century Llnlted
train of eight cars. bound from Chicago 10
New York, was deraned at switch near
ST. townsville at $40 a. M to-day. Not a
passenger was injured. but John Scanion'
engineer. and Melvin ]. Handville. fireman
both of Syracuse. we're killed
A delayed train on the track ahead OF the
limited made II necessary to switch the
fast train to another track. A towerman
set the warning signals but the swift eX-
press went by them and took the switch at
full speed. The locomotive was overturned,
the engineer thrown from the cab and the
fireman crushed under the boiler.
The cars were thrown off their trucks,
but remained upright across the tracks.
The sleeping passengers suffered only
jar. and were soon forwarded on other
trains. The tracks were blocked for some
time
There is a signal tower about a quarter
of a mile west of the st. townsville sta
ton. The switches and crossovers are con-
trolled by the operator in this tower, The
supposition is that the signal cautioning
the engineer to slow down was not seen by
him in time to bring his train under full
control, and when the locomotive struck
the crossover the ponderous machine
bounded into the air, turned on Its side In
a twnkling. ana then, as II struck one of
the rails, rolled on its back and ploughed
ahead through the rails, ties and ballast at
least three hundred feet. The sudden twist
wrenehed loose the coupling between the
engine and baggage and mail car and this
saved the train from the ditch. The heavy
coaches bounded from the track in front,
but they fell back right side up and re-
NAMED in an upright position.
PASSENGERS WERE ASLEEP.
The passengers were mostly asleep, and
some OF them were scarcely disturbed.
Those in the front ends Of the sleepers
were shaken from their berths and several
were thrown out on the floor. Not glass
was broken in any of the coaches.
No blame appears to be attached to the
towerman, Joseph Battle, for the accident,
as he had set the signals in proper time
All the coaches were derailed, and they
stood at an angle reaching from track to
track A.
One OF the passengers, man living in
New York said:
81 was asleep, and the first thing knew
1 was standing in the aisle. Others We're
in the same predicament. Some one shout
ed that there was a wreck and that the
train was in the ditch. l knew that we
were right side up, that the coach was not
smashed and that we were standing still.
so I cid not worry very much about things.
We began to ask one another if any one
was injured, and then the railroad men
came in with lanterns and said that the en-
gine had left the track and that only little
harm had been done"
