several of wham will probably dlo.
Homo of tha bodies have not yet been
recovered, and many raraaln unidenti
fied. This appalling loss af life and
maiming of tha living resulted appar
ently from Ik disregarding of orders
given to tha tw trains to xoset at a
station which has for a long tlmo
been their regular maeting-point
This actloa on tha part of tha engi

more Inexplicable by tha fact that tha
accident happens la broad daylight,
and according to tha beat information
obtainable he had the order In a lit
tle frame in front of htm aa hla en
gine rushed by the station, and a mile
and a half further on cama upon an
eastbound passenger train. The pos
sibility exists that the engineer may
bare been asleep.
The trains were on time, and not
making over St milts an hour, yet
tno impact as trie roundad a curve
and came suddenly upon each other
was frightful. Both anginas and tha
major portions of both trains were de
