James Hatilglian, brakeman on sccilon
No. 4, testified that tho train slopped a
short dlstanco abovo tho station and that
ho Immediately took red and whito lights
and started back as far as the dopot. When
he saw tho approaching train he signaled
with his red light.
Ho was below tho platform wnen ho hcaul
one long whlstlo from tho approaching
train mid thought It was an answer to his
flag. When he saw the train coming at n
lively rate ho flagged them again. Ho
thought thoy wero running nt tho rate of
twenty miles per hour.
CKOINRKII COOK'H HTOllV.
Henry Cook, who had charge of tho first
engine that run Into tho Ill-fated train, was
tbc next witness. He stated that tho train
was running at tin rate of twelve or four
teen miles an hour when the station was In
sight and that ho was on the right hand sldo
of the cab on the alert for signals, but saw
none. "To seo tho station flag at tho point
where wo should bo ablo to see It," ho said,
It is necessary for me to climb tho ratchet,
which I did. I expected to see the order
board white, switch board whllo and the
red light In Its place."
Theso he did not sec and ho was almost
in tho culvert when ho saw tho signals.
Tho train was then going at the rato of
ten miles an hour, and whon Cook observed
the danger signal, which was tho violent
swaying of a white light on tiio platform,
he at onco whistled down brakes. This,
however, did not extend beyond his own
engine, as tho other had chargo of the train
and of the air brakes. Il'itiiess admitted
that ho had been on duty for several days
with but little sleep, but he was still fresh
and wide awake. The wholo of his evi
dence was a denial of haymg seen any dan
ger signals when such should have been ex
posed, and a complaint that there was no
torpedoes placed on the rails, as there
should havo been; (neither was there a flag
man or light cast of Mud Run Station.

Thomas McKale, of Pleasant Valley,
testified that he was a passenger on tho
train that .was run into and saw the red
light, which yas waved two or three bun
dred yards in the rear of tho fourth section
that was standing at the depot, to which
no heed was paid, Tills testimony was cor
robated by J. W. Slocum, of Jfwl Run,
who stated that the flagman from section
No. 4 flagged with a red flag in front of the
depot and also waved u red light. "I also,"
he added, "took a red light and waved It
Every train except this one came in under
control. I saw n scctiou boss wave a white
lantern. I havo no doubt if both engineers
had seen his flag the approaching train
could have come In under control. Two
short whistles were given when tho flag
man swung his red lantern."
Thomas Major, of East Mauch Chunk,
testified that ho thought running at the rato
of ono mile In five minutes was under con
trol. He had neyer run a passenger train
beforo. Ho thought that one engine would
bo sufficient to pull the train, which would
also have allowed him a better view. He
went on duty 3onday night about 0 o'clock,
and received about six hours' rest up the
time of the accident, although he did not
feel sleepy.
THE COMPACT'S 11UI.K8.
A. Mitchell, of Wilkesbarre, superintend
cut of the Wyoming division, stated that
special orders were issued from his office
after thoy had been studied over for seycr-
al days. They had been posted on all the
bulletin boards and the signatures of tho
employes taken. Verbal Instructions were
also given to some of the .engineers to be
careful.
There should have been a red light dis
played at tho station, ho said, and It would
have been proper to display ono .red light
on the platform In addition lo the flagman,
It was the duty of both engineers lo look
out for signals. There are four men on
each train that tho company expect to be
on the alert for signals. Tho red'llght

tho train Is ncaring a station. A train go
ing at tho rate of ten miles an hour might
stop within tho length of a train of eight
cars, but he would not consider that under

Other evidence not so material was next
given, and then the Coroner adjourned the
taking of testimony until Wednesday after

forco on the now branch ol the Ilazlctou
and Pottsville, division of tho Lehigh Valley
Railroad, about two miles cast of Delano.
Eight men wero killed and twenty-three In
jured, some so seriously that thoy will die.
isnglnc 1218, of tho Pennsylvania Rail
road, left Delano with John Peck in cliargc
of tho throttle, wilh orders lo run to iofly
regardless of all other trains. Tho ballast
train, with Engineer John Mcsscrsmlth In
charge, loft Lofty with onlcrs lo make
Tamatiend siding and to lay off there to al
low botli the freight and passenger trains
to pass. The ballast train had a cabooso
and gondola car ahead of It, and was just
stowing up to enter ttic switch when tho
freight canio thundering down tho moun
tain and collided with It.
Tho two cars ahead. of tho ballast train
contained about lifly workmen, and eight
of these were either killed outright or died
while being taken out of the wreck. At
the point the accident occurred an Immense
horsc-sbon curve Is described by the rail
road, to lesson tho grado fiom Delano lo
Quakake and the railroad runs along tho
sldo ot tho mountain down Into the Qnak
alto Valley. The branch of the Lehigh
Valley Road Is used by the Pennsylvania
and Lehigh Roads In conjunction.
Engineer reck was running his train at
a high rate of speed down the mountain to
got out of the way of tho passenger train.
Ho claims ho saw no signs from the gravel
train and did not see them until ho was al
most upon them. It was. In. possible lo stop
his train on tho grade, even hail ho seen
them sooner. Peck and his fireman jump
ed and escaped with few Injuries. Jfesscr-
smlth, engineer of the Lehigh Valley Bal
last train, says ho had sent flagmen out In
both directions when he slowed up to oil
ier the switch. They could not bo seen.
It is claimed, on account of the hcavv foe:
wlilch clung to tho mountains side and was
so thick as lo prevent anyone seeing a few
feet ahead.
The dead wero taken to Delano and laid
out In the station house, and most of tho
Injured were sent by Ihc'ratlroad company
to the State Miners' Hospital at Ashland.
Tho forco with which the two trains canio
to gethor may bo illustrated by the fact that
irt of E, W. Gutders' body waa found on
the smoke stack of tho engine of his train.
Before the accident ho was slandlng on a
car a good way back of Ihc engine. His
dea'.h was instantaneous.
Most of tho killed and Injured were Hun
garians and members of tho now Greek
church of Shenandoah. Both engines are
completely wrecked, and the two cats which
contained tho worklngmen and wero ahead
f the ballast train cngino wjre smashed
Into splinters. It secins miraculous that
any of the men lu these cars escaped In
stant death, for tho cars were literally
ground Into kindling wood.
Tho company are at a loss as to whero to
place the responsibility, and a thorough In
vestigation will bo made. Deputy Coroner
Floxcr, of Tamanend, opened bis Inquest
this evening, but adjourned until to-mor-
row In order lo take tho testimony of the
Pennsylvania freight crew, who aro In no
condition to testify before tho jury this
evening.
