Think It Due to Broken Rail.
The train was composed of two loco
motives, postal car, combination bag
gage and smoker. one day coach and
nine Pullmans, mostly sleepers The
Pennsylvania railroad officials believe the
accident was caused by a broken rail, as
there are no switches or frogs close to the
scene, and they say that in view of the
fact that the express was running at its
| usual rate of speed the slight curve a,
the point of derailment was surely not
factor in the wreck.
Relief trains were rushed to the scene
| of the wreck from Philadelphia and Ian
caster, and the injured removed to Wes
| Chester and Harrisburg while some wer,
cared for in neighboring farmhouses. Th,
| dead Were taken from the wreck witt
difficulty, all being removed from beneatl
