FOUR MEN RILLED OUTRIGHT AND
ONE MORTALLY WOUNDED.
At a few rods east of tho railroad
bridge at Ely's Mill, this morning,
November 1st, 1877, Day Express eat
collided with Empire freight west,
with terrible consequences, nnd evi
dently through nn oversight on the
part of the Express engineer. Tho
freight train received orders nt St.
Mary's to run to Ridgway, regardless
of Day Express east, the Day Express
received orders at Johnsonburg to run
to Ridgwny and wait for the freight
train. Mr. Butler the passenger con
ductor stys, that his train kept the
main track, and the coming one was
to take tho siding, lie nnd his en
gineer, as was their usual customde
cided to run to the upper end of the
switch, on the main track, and then
wait until tho freight train had taken
the siding, being busy taking tickets
and answering questions, as conduc
tors usually are, ho did not notice that
they had passed the end oftlie switch
until he was hulled among the seats
by the shock of the meeting trains,
the distance from where they should
have stopped, near tho end of the
switch, to the place of the collision
being inside of a half mile. It seems
unaccountable how it could be possi
ble for an engineer to pass through a
bridge and so far beyond his intended
stopping point without seeing his mis
take. Of course, tho conductor should
have noticed tlio error, or the passage
of the bridge should have awakened
him to his danger, but when we take
into consideration that he was busily
engaged and his mind absorbed with
his duties, their seems to be an excuse
that will exempt him from the charge
of criminal carelessness As we have
no desire to do injustice to either the
dead or living we will await the ac
tion of the Coroner's jury whk'h ad
journed until to-morrow.
THE KILLED.
Cii'ivin l). Shearer, of Renovo, engin
eer of (he freight train engine, No
1120, leaves a wife mid three or four
children. He had run on tne road
between seven or eight years.
Win Collinge, of Kime, engineer
of day express engine No. KM7, an
Englishman by birth, and one of the
oldisl and lict engineers on the road,
hnvingbeen in the service of Ihe P. &
E. ii. Ii. Co for tiio past thirteen years,
and was a careful man, sober and in
dustrious, having been a railroader in
England before he came to thi
country. He was 47 years old last
March, and leaves a lamily ot nine
children, five boys and four girls; the
eldest a young man of '2:i years, and
the youngest a boy between three and
four years. Collinge's wife died last
winter, since which time lie has been
subject to fits of mental abstraction,
and who knows but that one of these
fits caused him to forget when so much
depended on his vigilance. Until
within a few weeks his son had fired
for him, but, at tho father's request
was transferred to the mail tram, so
that, in case of an accident, father and
sou might not both perish, seemingly
a premonition oftlie terrible event
Morris Farroll, fireman on day ex
press, was a single man, and made ins
liomeat Emporium with an unmarried
sister. Mrs. Frank M'Oloin of thi
place being a sister of his, another
brother having been killed on tho rail
road about a year ago, and their father
and mother having both died within
a short time.
111. Stevens, head brakeman on
the freight train, bad been on the road
about two mouths, and leaves a wife
ami two children at Kenovo. Au eye
witness says t hat Stevens was several
cars in the rear of the engine when
they si ruck, and was thrown with
terrible force into the air, and coming
down was caught in the wreck one of
his legs broken clean off, and the other
terribly bruised. When first found
lie was discovered hanging with his
head downward between the two en
gines, and was observed to throw up
lits arms and gasn a few times for
breath. He was fastened so firmly
by pieces of the wreck that ho could
not be extricated until a saw was pro
cured and the timbers sawed out.
THE WufXDEH.
Win. Gallagher, fireman on the
freight train was found under the
engines with both Tegs broken, I lis
head cut, and his hands badly bruised.
He was removed from the scene of the
wreck to the Thayer House, without a
groan escaping his lips, yet while his
mind seemed clear, he did not appear
to realize what hud happened, and 110
idea of the accident could be learned
from him The wife oftlie wounded
man came here from Renovo 011 the
o'clock train, and watched by his
side until about 7 o'clock when he
breathed his last. Mrs. Gallagher in
formed us that a child of theirs was
burned to death less than a year ngo,
and that two children are still living
the eldest being six years of age.
Win. Miller, hrnkeman on the
freight had his leg broken, but will
probably recover.
THE INJURED.
Daniel C. Oyster, our candidate for
Sheriff, was in the second passenger
car and was thrown against the stove
one side of his face and one hand be
ing burned, besides receiving a gen
eral shaking up.
Johnny Butler conductor on Day
Express, received some slight injures.
I. II. Lewis, Express Messenger,
whose escape seems miraculous, had
just left tho baggage car and taken his
seat in the front end of the smoking
car, which cur was thrown on its side,
and the top knocked off, half a min
ute after he had taken his seat. Be
sides receiving a few bruises, and hav
ing his watch considerably wrecked,
he escaped unhurt.
INCIDENTS Ot THE ACCIDENT.
JJich. Donnovan, the baggage mas-
ter, had followed Mr. Lewis Into the j
smoking car, having just closed the
door at the time of the collision, and
wns thrown unhurt through the top of
the car.
A man and boy were in the smok
ing enr, and escaped unin tired.
S. Silverman, of the firm of Silver
man fc Co., Williamsport, Pa., was in
the rear passenger car, and was not
In the least disturbed by the shock.
Stanley Marshall, of Renovo, a
brakeman on the freight train, and Ihe
person who identified the bodies, says
he snw the glimmer of the lights in
t lie passenger train, and tho next
tiling ho recollected he found himself
on hi bend and shoulders in a car of
hard coal, having been thrown over
three or four cars, nnd strange to say,
escaped uninjured. Mr. Marshall h
a gentlemanly appearing young man,
and to him we are indebted for many
of the particulars of (he accident. He
has been on the road about four years.
and in one collision before wllh the
ame engine.
The heavy fog which prevailed on
the morning of the disaster, prevented
the men on tlietrains from seeing each
other, und the trains meeting on a
curve made it still more difficult to
see an approaching train. After the
fog hnd raised the sun thown brightly
upon the dead, lying there in their la.-t
leep.
Large crowds of people visited the
scene of disaster during the day, each
one turning away sick at heart as they
thought, of the widows and orphan
children, whose protectors were thus
untimely ushered Into eternity.
Besides the loss ot life, the loss ol
property probably reached in the
neighborhood of $5r,000. Both en
gines were thrown from the track and
totally wrecked. The passenger and
Imtgaire car was destroyed, and several
freight, cars were smashed to pieces,
and their contents consisting of coal
and merchandise, scattered along the
track.
Tho coroner's jury empaneled by
Justice Fullerton is composed of II S.
Tliaver, Joseph SV. Taylor, J. W.
Morgester, W. S. Service, Charles
Holes und Geo R Dixon. Wo will
give the evidence in. full, in our next
issue
Remember that the li.L'ht is, and
from the lir.it lias been, between
Oyster and Burke. A vote for Kime,
Rogan, Evarts, or Rundy, is thrown
away and increases Burke's chances.
