ISKAKIj HOFFMAN, of Baltimore, a for mer employe of the Baltimore American. Frank Cllne. of Baltimore, had one leg fractured. The driver of the car. Samuel Jahss, Philadelphia, nnd Charles Millstone, Baltimore, nn occupant of the car. escaped with only slight tMts and bruises. The automobile truck was a small one. used for delivering Philadelphia papers In various parts of the camp. With Jahsn driving nnd tbe other men In the rear of the machine, It approached the Severn crossing nt a rapid rate. Harry Ncary, a track foreman for the railroad, was near the crossing and witnessed the accident. He said the automobile was nbout half way acrnrs the tracks when the locomotive of tho troop train struck It. The men rid ing in the rear of the truck had no time to Jump before tho vehicle was struck and they were hurled Into the air. Hoff man nnd Fraustadtcr received the full force of the blow from the engine and were terribly mutilated. Identification -was made through an examination of the cards they received In registering for the selec tive draft. Despite the terrific force with which the automobile was struck, crushing to piece the rear portion of It, the machine con tlnued In motion and reached the other side of the tracks at the crossing before It stopped. There are four tracks at this crossing nnd the troop train approached on tho first one crossed by the automobile. Neary summoned aid at once nnd other men, attracted by tho crash, assisted In getting the Injured men Into nutomoblles. All were taken to the Camp Meade Hos pital. Cllne's condition Is not serious. The dead men were so badly mangled that It wns several hours before" they could be. definitely Identified through a search of their clothing. The accident happened nt the same spot where two members of the draft nrmy In training nt Camp Meade were killed last Saturday, when they wero struck by a train. JThere are no safety gates at the crossing, nnd there Is said to be no warning. The roadway lending over the tracks Is graded in such a way that It Is virtually Impossible for approaching drivers to sec trains coming.
