Haverstraw, N. Y. Especially -
Three mourners, their pastor and
their driver sat in a funeral coach
here and watched certain death come
rushing on them at so miles an hour.
With a screech of grinding brakes
a heavy West Shore freight engine,
hurrying south TO pick up freight
train at Weehawken, crashed into
the coach, scattering it's occupants
along the right of way, and came
slowly to a hault $50 yards beyond
the crossing. All the occupants were
either killed outright or fatally in
jured The dead:
Omath, Rev. A., pastor of the New
City Methodist Episcopal Church.
Seifred, e. ", New City, n. Y.
Seifred, Mrs. Z. ", New City, N.
Y.
Beebe, Williams, Haverstraw.
Fatally injured:
Kessler, Mrs. Perry, skull frac-
tured, both legs broken and body
crushed.
The accident was not only un-
usual, but dramatic and horrifying
to a degree. 1t happened at the foot
of Graveyard Hill, in full sight of
the returning funeral procession of
which che wrecked coach was the
first, and of the terrified and help
less watchman.
The watchman was eating bite
of luncheon in his little cabin when
the tinkle OF an eleceric bell warned
him of an approaching train. Me-
chanically he pulled the lever that
set the heavy, balanced gates in mo-
tion. Then, glancing from the open
door, he saw a sight that will not
be out of his dreams for many a
night
Just what happened will probably
never be known, but some eye wit
nesses say that the arms of the cross
ing gates. late in descending, block
ed the coach after 1t had crossed the
first two tracks and held II prisoner
on the rails, while the terrified oc-
cupants sat paralyzed gazing at the
onrushing locomotive.
The driver lashed his horses in a
futile attempt to force the vehicle
from the track until. with a sharp
crack, the picture diesipated and 1t
seemed as II the coach literally blew
up. Fragments of splintered wood
and mutliated shreds of humanity
we're flung far and wide. The en-
gine stopped. There was absolute
silence save for the hiss of escaping
steam.
A search for the dead followed.
The bodies OF Mr.. and Mrs. Seifred
were found side by side so yards
down the track. The wife was Just
returning from the burial of her
father, by whose death she had come
into a tidy fortune. Young Beebe,
the driver, was the son of wealthy
llvery-owner. He lay 20 yards near
er. stone dead The Rev Mr.. Romth
was the clergyman who had offici-
ated at the funeral.

an who swallowed a handful of pins
with suicidal intent and died after
six hours of agony, not only took the
pins. but swallowed poison as we'll.

that the pins would not have caused
death so quickly. Just what kind
OF poison Mrs. Maxim took he was
unable TO state in his finding, as an
autopsy was not performed.
