ant superintendent of the O.-W. r. q
NJ: j. D. Stack, assistant general man
ager: M. j. Flohr, NJ A. Corner and
r. II. Monitt, went thoroughly into
the circumstances connected with the
wreck of engine No. 1875 and an ore

cided that the blame for the runaway
and wreck rested upon the members
Of the crew Each member of the crew

"Thc board is Of the opinion that the
train and engine crew lost control of
the train by the train crew not apply
ing sufficient hand brakes to assist
the engineer in keeping the train un-
der control and by the engineer, on
account Of his allowing too great 3
speed before calling assistance from
the train crew.
