The wrecked train was in charge OF
James Hillick. of Geneva, conductor.
with Messrs. Bowman and Callan. .eng.-
neers. on the locomotives. Hillick had
jus, stepped from the dining car TO the
next car in front when the dining car
left the track He pulled the signal for
brakes and both engineers responded i'm
medately. Bowman, Of the second en-
CINE. was leaning from his cab window,
and as he turned on the brakes he
looked backward TO learn the cause of
the trouble and saw the cars topping off
the bridge With the rest Of the rail-
road men he hurried 20 the rescue.
Passengers OF the cars which remained
on the track gave prompt assistance.
Word for physicians and nurses was dis
patched to the nearby places and special
relief trains were run from east and
west. So great was the number Of In
jured that there was work for all.
/. There we're many heartrenUng scenes
and a number Of miraculous escapes.
One woman was all that remained alive
Of a family Of four. Two men jumped
through window and escaped with
slight cuts. Most Of the passengers were
bound for points in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania.
Two theories for the cause Of the
wreck have been advanced by railroad
men. It is their opinion that II was
caused by broken rail or the spreading
of the rails Had II occurred one hun
bred feet either east or west Of the tres
tie the loss Of life would have undoubt-
eddy been far less, for beyond this dis
lance either way the tracks pass over
level stretch Of country.
The road was blocked for several
hours, and II was necessary to send the
westbound trains over the New York
Central tracks via Lyons.
Monsignor Thomas ]. Hendrick, of
Ovid, y. Y. a brother Of Supreme Court
Justice Peter a. Hendrick; the Rev. W.
II. Harrington. Of Ithaca. and the Rev
James Griffin, OF Wavsrly, were in the
dining car at the time of the accident
and were painfully bruised. They has
tened, however. to the aid Of the In
jured and administered the last rites of
the Catholic Church to the dying.
Sisters Hortensia and Veda. Of Ge-
neva convent. though suffering from
shock and bruises, also went among the
suffering and dying to render aid and
comfort.
