in Wreck on the Rails
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y, Jan. 23--
Two men were so badly injured that
they died shortly afterwards in a local
hospitai and dozen others we're hurt,
one woman, probably fatally. when
passenger train on the Syracuse
Division of the Lackawana Railroad
crashed into the rear of a Utica Divi-
sion train, which was standing at the
Chenango Forks station. All Of the
injured were in the private car Of the
Vogel Minstrel Company, which was
being hauled from Norwich to Waver-
ly, N. Y.
The dead:
H. c. Hayes, indianapolis, Ind
George p. Keely, Claremant, N. H.
Probably fatally hurt:
Mrs. Vogel, wife of the proprietor of
the minstrel show.
The private car was cut in two, and
all of the occupants were penned in
their berths and scalded by escap-
ing steam and hot water until dug out
by the train crew. They were hurried
in a special train to the General Hos
pital, where Hayes and Keely soon af-
terward died. Mrs. Vogel was said TO
be in a critical condition, and three
other minstrels were said to be I'm a
serious condition, through having In

The wreck is believed to have been
caused either by a misunderstand-
ing Of orders or the block signals
failing to work, and searching in
vestigation to determine the RESPONSE
bility was ordered by the Public Ser
vice Commission.
