The Victims Vere All Poles with the Exception of Their Foreman, John Warner They Wero Engaged In Shoveling Snow and Stepped from One Track to Another in Front of an Express. Buffalo, N V Hoc IX Nine men were killed and three injured near Wlnspcare bridge near Corfu on the Now York Central railroad today. They were till Poles with the exception of John 'Warner, their foreman, who is among the killed. The men wero en guged in shoveling snow, of which there were numerous drifts on the line. All were frlghtfuly mutilated. The men stepped from one track to avoid an approaching train right In front of u fnst express train running In the same direction as the llrst, and were literally ground to pieces. linglneer Smith, of the express, In an Interview, said: "t could see noth ing ahead of me, but I thought the place looked bad and blew my whistle, t had let up on the whistle when I heard' my fireman give a yell. He did not call for brakes, but 1 slapped on the air the minute I heard him. He had seen a man beside the track, though lie had not seen any struck then. A moment after 1 applied the brakes I saw a man shoot up Into the air on my side of the cab. He was as high as the smoke stack when ' saw him. He came down on the freight train, which was running along on thai side, and was carried n mile before he fell off. My train Flopped In about two train lengths und the sight that I saw when 1 got out wis the most horrible I have ever witness ed. The dead and mangled were lying un both sides of the track just as they had been thrown. I did not see them until after we had struck them. I did not see them come on the track, and, until my tireman yelled, I did not know they were there. Superintendent llradfleld. of the Cen tral, said that Foreman Wnrner was sent out with it big gang this morning lo clear the track,, of snow. Warner distributed "00 men nlong the road be tween this city and I.ooneyville. War ner and eleven others were working on the main track, near Winspeuro bridge, when uNfeassongor train struck them. SENTENCE OF MARSH. Former President of Keystone Bank Gets Twelve Years. Philadelphia. Dec. 13. Oldenn W. Marsh, former president of the wrecked Keystone National hank, was today sentenced to an imprisonment of twelve years and three months and to pay a line of $500. The Kevstone bank failed In March, 1SU1, and President Marsh and Cashier Lawrence were placed under arrest, charged with conspiracy In making fnlfe entries in the books and Issuing false reports to the comptroller o' the currency. The cashier stood trial and was convicted and Imprisoned, but Maish disappeared and his ball of $20,000 was forfeited. After wandering over the world for seven and a half years the fugitive president returne 1 on November 3 last, and surrendeie 1 to the authorities. He pleaded guilty when arraigned for trial. It was thought probable that Marsh might when brought up for sentence make a statement implicating o-liers In the wrecking of the bank, hut nc merely Informed the court that his predecessor in the presidency f iho bank had left a defalcation of over a million dollars and that ho (Marsh) had never profited a dollar through tha bank's losses. He broke down on mult lug this statement nnd was unahV to proceed further. Ho trembled per ceptibly when sentence was pronounced and the expression on his face told that he had expected much lighter punish ment m THE PRINTER'S REPORT.
