Badly Shaken Up by Engine
Jumping The Track
ENGINEER STUCK TO DUTY
Went Into Ditch With His Engine
and Escapes With Only Slight
Injury, While Fireman Jumps and
Is Seriously Hurt-Cause OF Ac-
cident Unknown.

Chicago. Aug. 7.-One hundred
and twenty-five passengers on the
Pennsylvania 1S-hour train which
left here at 2.45 O'Clock for New
York were frightened, but uniniur-
ed, when the engine, tender and. bag
gage car jumped the track, while
going at full speed between Indiana
Harbor and Burlington, Ind. yester-
day. The engine and tender broke
from the train when the engineer
applied the emergency brakes and,
leaving the rails. plunged down an
embankment. The train stopped
with jerk that threw the passen-
gers from their seats but remained
upright on the tracks. The baggage
car. Immediately behind the tender,
left the tracks, but did not overturn.
The fireman jumped when the en-
CINE left the rails and was hurt
severely. The engineer stuck to his
engine and went into the ditch with
it, in some manner escaping serious
injury.
The accident happened shortly be-
fore $3.50 o'clock when the train had
gathered full speed in going down
the incline from the elevated tracks
in Indiana Harbor. For no known
reason the tneder left the tracks and
bumped along the ties. Engineer
Summers applied the emergency
brake and the strain broke the coup
ling between the tender and baggage
car and the tender and engine. The
engine, released Of its load. jumped
ahead and left the rails, running
over on the right side OF the tracks.
/ The four Pullmans, OF which the
REST Of the train consisted. were
taken back 10 Indiana Harbor and
sent on with another crew.
The total delay TO the fast train
because OF the accident was two
hours. Careful investigation failed
TO reveal any cause Of the tender
leaving the track and railroad men
seemed unable to explain how 1t
occurred.
