the eexpetion of one or two of the crew
on the fast mail, all the injured were
on the excursion train. Most of them

The injuries of

None of the passengers on the fast mail

The engines, the mail and bagagge
cars on the fast mail went down an em

mained upright, as did the excursion
train. Only the engine, one baggHge
car and a mail car on the fast mail left
the track.
Responsibility for the wreck seems
to rest with the engineer of the fast
mail, wbo failed to stop promptly when
flagged. The engine on the excursion
tiain, which consisted of 12 coaches
heavily loaded, broke down. A Hag-
man was sent ahead to stop the fast
mail then about due. The engineer of
the fast mail failed to see the foremost,
flagman and only slackened up when
warned by the second man, who was
within a short distance of the excurs
ion train. The fast mail was runnu g
at a high rate of speed and it was un
able to come to a lull stop. When the
fast mail struck, it was making 15
miles an hour. The engine, the bag
gage car and the foremost mail car left
the tracx and rolled down the em
