Accident on Curve.

Sulphur Springs, Mo, Aug. 7.-Just south of the scsene of the disaster there is a curve in the road and this cut off view of the local train stand ing at water tank from the engineer of the flying limited.
 Missouri Pacific officials however emphasized that the block signals were operating in perfect order and Engineer Glenn of the fast train should have slowed his train down to such speed that he could have come to halt almost instantly.
 Tell Graphic Story
 Survivors drew a vivid picture of the accident. A blast from the Whis- tie of the limited told of its approach around the curve along the high tow ering bluffs and this caused few who had alighted from the local to look back nervously 7 Rushing around the curve came the fast train. There were shouts. Then the roar of the crash, cries of women and moans of men.
 The rear coach was hurled down the embankment. The next two cars standing on the trestle across Glaise creek and on the embankment were crushed and splintered. The fourth tumbled down the incline.
 The roof of one of the demolished cars fell, spanning the creek and af- forded bridge for the rescuers.
 Where the day coaches of the local had stood across the trestle, now stood the steel cars of the flier., The locomotive had plowed its way through more than half the length of the halted train and come to rest across the trestle, steel girders bent around its forward end and splinters of what had once been car com pressed into space about 10 feet be- fore it against a coach which seem- ingly was uninjured.
 Coroner Investigates
 Coroner Elders promised a thor ough investigation of circumstances which caused the disaster, the worst train wreck in the history of the part of the country The crews of both trains were summoned by the coroner to give their versions of the accident
 Officials of the road, including As s!stant General Manager Cannon de clared yesterday that the block sig nals were found to be in order after the crash occurred and all were un- animous in their assertion that Matt Glenn, dead engineer of the fast train, which ploughed through four coaches of the local train, near the station, did not heed a warning signal.
 Miraculous Escapes
 Tales of many miraculous escapes were reported, mingled with stories of pathos and horror. Stories of | young girls offering their assistance in | ,aring for the injured and dead were numerous, Some were seen hurrying l rom one victim to another bandae- ng their injuries, washing their | wounds, giving what assistance they could. ,,
 A detailed story of this tragedy, 1 'ent out by the Associated Press cor 'espondent at the scene, is printed in mother column of this issue.

 MINERS AUTOMOBILE
Man, Stepping On Starter, Sets on Internal Machine-One is
 Arrested.

Sullivan. Ind, Aug. John Ever hart, 3b. coal miner, was killed here yesterday, when he stepped on the starter of his automobile and an ex- posion and fire followed. Elmer Hale, 30, also miner is being held in connection with Everhart's death.
 The theory expressed by the au- thorities is that dynamite had been placed under the cushion on the front seat The starter wires were then connected with the dynamite, 1t is believed and the cap of the gaso- line tank removed, This was done, the authorities believed so that if the driver was not killed in the explosion fire would follow and he would be burned to death.
 Everhart was fined in court here a few days ago on charge of miscon- duct with Hae's wife. Hale, who is an expert shot frer, denied any knowledge of the alleged dynamite.
