With the bodies of two men on the
engine pilot, the Royal Blue express
from Washington arrived az the Della
ware avenue station here this morn
ing At 3 o'clock, stopped for pas
sengers and sped to Philadelphia. Not
until the train reached Philadelphia
were the bodies discovered. There
worknen in the train shed noticed
something that looked like a big
bundle wedged in the pilot of the loco
motive The bundle proved 70 be
the body OF a man. and the first
sstonished gasp Of the workingmen
was quickly followed by another
when a second body was discovered.
wedged on the other side Of the loco
motive front.
Near one of the bodies was a piece
of horse blanket. caught on the loco
motive front, and not far from that a
piece of wood evidently from bug
gy. was wedged. The story told by the
bit Of blanket and the splintered wood
was plain enough but not man on
the train, from Snyder. the engine
man, to Anderson, the conductor, could
tell a word TO add TO It. Snyder and
his iiremen said they felt nothing that
even suggested a crash into a horse
and buggy from Washington 10 this
city. Neither they nor any other mem
Der OF the crew had the slightest hint
of the gruesOme passengers they car
ried on the nose of their locomotive.
From papers found in the clothes OF
the dead men they arc supposed to
have been Winfield d. Cullen and
Jesse Cullen, of Belcamp, Md. In the
pocket Of one OF a letter bore the ad-
dress r. F. y. No. %

about 80. Both We're six feet tall, of
powerful build, and both we're red
headed. In the clothes on the body

Reports received by the railroad
this morning appear TO fix the scene
of the accident definitely. A demol-
ished buggy was found close to the
tracks at Stepley. Nd three miles
from Belcamp. The latter is about
y miles this side OF Baltimore. A
horse was found wandering about the
neighborhood. II was unhurt.
The train that bore the bodies into
/ the station left Washington for New
/ York at 1915 o'clock. It reached Bal
/ timore, its last stop the other side of
Wilmington. at 1.25 o'clock II must
have passed through Stepley at about

preclude the idea that he was one q
