Mercantile Express left Altoona
about on time and carried the usual
number of passengers. It was hauled
by engine No. 748 with J. F. Gearhart
at the throttle, and B. A. Berks, as
fireman. The train was in charge of
Conductor W. W. Stewart, Baggage-
man McAllister, and Brakemen S. K.
Jacobs and M. E. Baird. It stopped
at Mt. Union to take on and discharge
passengers. When ready to start the
trainmen discovered something wrong
with the air and flagman S. K. Jacobs
was sent back to flag any approach-
ing train. His story of the accident
is as follows:
“When the train stopped at Mount
Union to let off passengers, I got off
the rear with my lantern; receiving
a signal to go ahead, I stepped back
on the platform and closed the ves-
tibule. Then I noticed there was
trouble in starting the train. I climb-
ed over the gate on the rear car and
started back with my lantern. I walk-
ed fast and had gone twenty or thir-
ty car lengths when I saw the head-
light of the freight rounding the
curve. I gave the red signal to stop.
My lanterns were bright and I moved
the red light many times. The engine-
man gave no signal that he saw me.
When the train came closer I real-
ized it was too late to prevent an ac-
cident and I jumped down an em-
bankment to save my life. The
freight train was running about fifty
miles an hour. It was foggy but I
could see the headlight. Had the
engincman seen the signal he could
have stopped in time to prevent a
collision.
“After the crash the fireman on
the freight engine and one of the
freight brakemen told me they had
called to the engineman to stop, as
a flagman had signalled. They said
he gave no attention to them. They
also told me that they had called the
signal when their train came on the
block and that the engineman called
back ‘white,’ meaning he had a clear
track.”
A committee of railroad men has
been appointed to make a thorough
inquiry and investigate into the caus-
es of the wreck.
One of the most harrowing features
of the wreck was the wiping out of
the family of Chester Minds, who was
an old U. of P. athlete, and who with
his family was on his way to Ithaca,
N. Y. toattend the funeral of. Mrs.
Minds’ father. They wentto Tyrone
on Monday and spent the fore part of
Plattsville,
on
the nightatthe Ward house, taking’
berths in the Pullman car “Bellwood.”
This car was literally split in two and
every person in it was killed instantly.
ANOTHER PENNSY WRECK.
Just two days prior to the above
wreck, or early Sunday morning, an
express train ploughed into a wrecked
freight train near Bristol, two miles
north of Philadelphia, killing four
men, the fireman of the express and
three horsemen of Williamsport. On
the express train were two car loads
of horses, one from the farm of John
H. Detwiler, at Centre Hall, and the
other the property of Harry Wilson,
of Williamsport. Three of the horses
were killed.
