ualties today from the Reading Co.'S
fast night express train, which plunged
80 feet from a Susquehanna River
bridge, killing three persons and in

Speeding through the night on its
run from Williamsport to New York,
the express Williamsporter hurtled
from the north end Of the span last
midnight, down to the bed Of an
abandoned canal, not many feet from
the Susquehanna.
The Reading Co. announced inves-
tigators definitely have determined
that broken rail caused the wreck.
The known dead are:
DR.. Guy Rothfuss, 80. of Williams
port.
Washington Danshaw, Tamaqua,
the fireman.
William Ramp. Tamaqua, the en-
gineer.
Dr. Rothfuss and Danshaw were
found dead in the wreckage. A broken
neck resulted in the death of the en-
gi1.eer ir hospital short time later.
Taken to Hospital.
The injured were rushed to the
Mary H. Packer Hospital in Sunbury,
crowding that institution to such an
extent that many of those hurt were
laid in rows on the floor.
The passenger killed was said to
be the first to meet death by accident
on railroads in the United States since
1884 According to a recent an
nouncement by the Western Associ-
alton OF Railway Executives no pas
senger was killed on a railroad in the
United States during 1885.
Witnesses told of hearing blast and
of seeing a binding glare as the train
sped along the span.
Dr. j. K. Fisher, Sunbury physician
and one of the first to reach the
scene, told of hearing "the passengers
screaming"
Two boys with me- he said, found
one dead in the coaches. The rescuers
were breaking windows to bring out
the injured"

The locomotive, in its drop, ripped
