Centre County's Phantom Lake, in Spring township, had appeared and covered large sections of the Harry Gentzle, . Perry Gentzle, George Kauffman and Benjamin Kaufman farms, Reports had {t that the same lands were covered by water In the early summer of 1885 A that time farmers were compel]- ed to wade water to cut their grain, and wear gum boots while cultivat- ing corn. Some preachers declared the appearance of the lake was a sign from heaven that another flood would soon wipe all the wicked people {rom the earth, As the early morning passenger train from Lock Haven to Tyrone was nearing the Milesburg station at about 5:30 o'clock Monday morn- ing, the engine was derailed at Greggs crossing. The train was running at a high rate of speed at the time. The engilne struck sev- eral freight cars standing on an adjoining track with sufficient force to smash one and scatter coke in every direction. The collision stop- ped the train suddenly and the front of the engine was badly smashed The tender and baggage car left the track but the passenger coaches were not derailed. When the ac- cident happened the firemen Ed. Casset was throwing coal into the furnace, It osed tha: the jar threw him off and he fell be- neath the tender where he was (ound crushed, unconscious and life extinct, He was cut about the low- er part of the face, bones in his arms were broken, and his body was ut and mangled in a horrible man- ner. The badly was carried to the depot and later underiaker Harris prepared it for burial, and i: was forwarded to hig home in Lock Ha- ven. Mr. Cassell was a young man of 20 years of age and leaves a wife and one child to mourn. It was found that the engine was thrown {rom the track by a large stone that had been wedged between 11 track and a guard rail of a switch, The supposi.fon is that it wag placed there by some human flend with the devilish intent in his heart to wreck he train. The stone might have fallen from a car and lodged there but it does not seem rrobable, The engineer, James Hensley, bravely stuck to his post until the train came to a stop and was not Injured. None of the pas- sengers were in any way injured, except for a good joliting. sup; Twenty Years Ago A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas VanBuskirk at the home of the mother’s parents, Mr. and Mrs W.
