On the Main Street.
The accident was one of the worst
that ever occurred on this division of j
tho Pennsylvania system, and was ■
Irighly sensational in ail its details, oc-
earring as it did on the main street
of tho town at a time when the thor
oughfare was crowded with people.
Train No. 35, westbound for Fort
Wayne, had started out of the station,
i)Ul at the main street crossing was
compelled to stop on account of some
accident to the brakes
A flagmen was sent back to notltly
AO. 19, a freight train going in the
eaano direction, which waa several
minutes late. Owing to the snow*
storm, tho engineer of No. 19 was un
able to see the signal in time to slacks
en his speed. His engine crashed into
tho rear of No. 35. No. 35 consisted
of two coaches, the rear one being a
combination baggage and passenger
car, with another passenger car In
front Both were telescoped, and
scarcely a passenger escaped* injury
of some sort. The engineer and fire
man of No. 19 were also slightly hurt,
»ut not enough to prevent them from
rendering Immediate assistance to
those who were In greater distress
The scene about the wreck was
frightful. Many people were con
gregated about the spot at the time,
and the street was well filled by way
farers on their way homo from work
The crash was heard all over the city,
and almost the entire population was’
soon on hand to render what assis
tance they could In caring for the
.wounded and dead, who were at once
carried* to the freight house and sta
tion and laid on Improvised cots.
The englno on No. 19 was almost
demolished, but the cars behind it
Were not damaged In the least, and
none of the passengers were bruised.
The wreckage was strewn all over the
tracks, and In a few minutes the Chi
cago and New York limited, cast
vound, dashed through on the other
track, at CO miles an hour, hurling the
accumulated debris in all directions
hut never pausing in Its flight until
nair a mile from the town. Then the
train was stopped and hacked to the
scene of tho accident to get orders.
No damage was done to tho engine of
the flyer, but It was learned that a
Piece of wreckage flew into the cab
as the train dashed past and painfully
bruised the engineer. Ho was how
ever. able to continue his run, and
left in a few minutes with his train
