SUICIDE OF A SAVANNAHIAN.
Savannah, Ga., November 14.—John
A. Honig, a German grocer, suicided to
night by shooting himself through the
head in a fit of insanity caused by drink.
Pittsburg, November 14.—A collision
occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad near
New Florence, Pa., this morning between
the first and second sections of the West
ern express, killing two passengers and in
juring eleven others. The killed are Henry
D. Minot of Brooklyn, and Mrs. S. H.
Angeli of Washington. The injured are:
R. S. Delaney and wife, of Haymarket,
Ya., very severely: J. F. Mathews, of Bal
timore, very seriously; J. H. Ellma.ii, of
Washington, internally; William Roches
ter, of the Hoffman House, New York, in
ternally; A, C. Hicks, of Providence, R. I.;
seriously; Miss N. V. Kel
logg, of Richmond, slightly ;
J. H. Hill, of Sunbury, Pa., internally in
jured, seriously; Wm. Miller, of Allegehny
City, very seriously; Henry McCormick,
engineer, Ninerth. very seriously; Dr.
Wiehle, very seriously.
At least four of the injured, it is thought,
will die. The horror of the scene was in
creased by the burning of the Pullman
coaches. The accident was caused by a
heavy fog, which prevented the engineer
from seeing the first section in time to
stop the train. The first section left New
York last evening at Harrisburg. The
Washington sleeper was attached and the
train due at Pittsburg at 7:45.
Pittsburg, November 14.—The first
section of the express is known as No. 9
and the second as No. 7. The first was
due at New Florence at 5:46 a. m., but it
was 6:37 when the train reached that
point. The fog was so dense that the en
gineer did not notice the red signal in the
tower until after he had passed. He then
slowed up and went back for
his orders. He then pulled ahead
slowly. Tne flagman of No. 9 had gone
hack to signal No. 7, according to the con
ductor’s statement, of No. 9 the second
train crashed into the first within a min
ute and half after the flagman's departure.
The flagman couldn’t have gone far in
that time, yet he says he torpedoed the
tracks, and the engineer of the second sec
tion saw his signals. The two passengers
who were killed outright were asleep in
their bunks in the rear end of the car, and
never knew what hurt them.
Twenty-two passengers were in the
car, most of whom were congregated
in or around the wash room in the front
of the car. The engine of No. 7 telescoped
into this car ten or twelve feet and then
stopped, or the loss of life would have
been much greater.
The wrecked car caught fire, but the
passengers were all gotten out without
harm from the flames. The sleeper next
forward was thrown from the track, but
nobody in it was much hurt.
Only one person was hurt on the second
train, the fireman of the engine, and he
but slightly.
Later news from the disaster reports
seven more injured, making eighteen in
all, only two in the car escaping. Their
names are: E. A. Parrish of Quincv, II!.,
Miss M. Welfare of Cleveland. H. S. Hill
of Pittsburg, Sam Gale of New York, J.
W. Wesley of Boston, Mrs. Williams of
Cleveland, E. H. Ligh of Detroit.
R. S. DeLanev and wife, of Haymz rket,
Ya., were on their wedding trip, and both
sustained serious injuries.
C. C. Hex, of Providence, R. I., was
more seriously injured than at first re
ported.
