The Rea-ling railroad express, w hich 1« fi P in la lelphia a t 5:40 o’clock th is evening for A tla n tic C ity, crashed into a P iu u sy lv an ia railro ad excursion tra in at the sec* ml signal tow er, about four m iles out fr*-m here.

The engine (f the R eading tra in was shattered to pieces. Every car on th e excursion tra m was jam m ed to its fu llest ca- paC ty. As snon as the news reached A tlan tic C ity, th e utniC 't consternation p re vailed. but th e authonti>-s w ete equal t the em ergency. Relief train s were dispatched to the seen«, loaded w ith c ts and bearing staffs of surgeons. As quick ss the bodies were recovered, they were carried into the local hos p ita ls and u n d erta k er's shops. A general fire alarm wag sounde-1, and the d ep artm en t prom ptly respoud- e i, and a:>led in the h eartren d in g work of digging f r the victim s. F ear grew into despxir and horror as the vigorous w rk of the relief gangs revealed the aw ful ext« u t of the disaster.
