Seven coaches and the locomotive of
the Pennsylvania Railroad flyer No. 20,
including several sleeping cars, bound
for Philadelphia from Pittsburgh, were
derailed early this morning at Cone
maugh, Pa. few miles east of Pitts
burgh. when the train ran into split
switch.

gers on board, among them fifty blue
Jackets. was injured. The derailed cars
remained in an upright position. and
few of the passengers in the sleeping
cars were awakened by the accident.
The locomotive crew stuck to their posts
and likewise escaped injury
Afler a delay of several hours pas
sengers were transferred to an east
bound train from st. Louis which ar
rived here this afternoon in two sec
tons shortly before o'clock. Among
them were not more than a half dozen
(. Philadelphians.
w. II. Bromley. a salesman of In
u dianapolis, and Charles Nowbray, a mer-
. chant of st. Louis. who were on the de-
y rallied train, said that no one on board
knew what had happened until informed

A heavily loaded freight train, which
was ahead of the flyer. is believed to
have split the Conemaugh switch.
