Secretary of Interior Has His Head
Cut by Broken Glass in a Small
Railroad Wreck Last
Night.
FOURTEEN ARE INJURED
Trains Were Running at Slow Speed
When They coliidcd and tho
Accident Proved Not
Extensive.

CINCINNATI, O., October 14.-The
Royal Blue Limited on the Baltimore
and Ohio, carrying Secretary of the
Interior R. A. Ballinger, struck the
Royal Local in head-on collision at
Mount Hope road and Sixth street at
6:15 last evening, injuring fourteen,
including the cabinet officer, and bad
ly shaking up every passenger on the
two trains.
Luckily Secretary Ballinger's in
juries were not serious and he was
able to come to Cincinnati about an
hour after the collision, and at 9:15
left over the Pennsylvania for Wash
ington. The cabinet officer and his
secretary occupied compartment in
the forward part of one of the Pull
man coaches and the distinguished
passenger was cut about the head by
falling glass, but otherwise was not
injured.
The train on which Mr. Ballinger
was riding was bound for Cincinnati
from St Louis and is known as the
Royal Blue l1lIulleu, OF D. anu ". lNO'
2. The west-bound train was No. IL,
or the Royal Local, and left the Cen
trail Union Station at s o'clock bound
for Louisville, Ky.
Immediately following the wreck, it
was learned officially. that No. 2, the
train which carried Mr.. Ballinger, was
about IS minutes late and had instruc
tions to take siding, leaving cleal
track for No. 10. These instructions
were not carried out, and as a result
the two engines came together just
as No. 19 rounded the curve at Mount
Hope and Sixth street. The track is
such at that point thet the engineer
of 19 was unable to see the headlight
of the Royal Blue Limited until the
train was within few feet of his
engine
Both were proceeding at the moder
ate rate of speed which governs the
operation of trains inside the city
limits, and to this fact is due thu
escape of the passengers from possibi!
more serious consequences. Of the in
jured. none will die, and several were
able to be taken to their homes.
