Roy Gray, seven, Fort Palmer. The accident occurred at the fair grounds, one and one-half miles from Ligonier. The passenger train was backing to Wilpen. Through a misunderstanding of nrders a double-header freight train going to Ligonier crashed Into the only passenger car. The coach contained a large num ber of children who were being taken by Miss Mathews, a nurse at the homo of J, O, Senft of Ligonier, president of the Ligonier Valley railroad, for a day's outing. ' All the children were either killed or instained severe In juries, The passenger train left Ligonier on Its regular trip up the branch. A heavy train of coal cars pulled by two locomotives was hurrying to Ligonier, At a curve near the Denny race track the two trains came together with a terrific crash, The freight engines plowed through the wooden coach, crushing It as If It were an egg shell. The car was ripped to pieces. All the occupants were hurled to the roadbed. Some fell in the path of the engines while others were imbedded partly In a cinder and stone ballasting. The first engine of the double-header pulling the freight train stopped after it had passed through the coach, turned half way around and fell over on Its side. Conductor Charles H. Kuhn of tho passenger train leaped when he saw the impending crash and received a brpken leg. Engineer Dunlap and flremai Prank Byers of the passen ger train stuck to their posts and were uninjured. Farmers near the scene of the acci dent and men who were at work at the Denny race track went to the as sistance of Engineer Dunlap and Fire man Byers, who were pulling the dylpg and Injured from the wreckage. A messenger sped with all haste to Ligonier and. notified the residents there of the accident, in a few min utes every resident of the town who was able to walk was on the way to the race track. A frantic call for physicians and aid was sent to La trobe. Five Latrobe physicians went to the scene. A special train was made up and sent to Ligonier to bring the Injured to the hospital. When notified of the wreck the Pennsylvania Railroad company, of which the Ligonier Valley railroad is a branch, sent a special train from Pittsburg to Latrobe to bring the In jured from the overtaxed Latrobe hos pital to Pittsburg hospitals. When the news of the accident reached Ligonier automobiles and wagons were pressed Into service. Wo men stopped In their homes only long enough to rip sheets from the beds hen Join the men who were waiting with machines In the street. The women performed heroic serv ice In the rescue of the Injured, and dying. As fast as the men pulled tho bodies from the wreck they were carried to the roadside where the WO: men bandaged their wounds. Disaster ear Corning, N.

The dead, which filled to overflow ing the morgues of the little town, are In many Instances so frightfully mangled that Identification Is almost impossible. The engine of the express train ripped its way through the two day coaches in the rear, killing Instantly all the passengers In them, plowed through half a steel car, throwing the sleeping car off the track, and then came to a standstill. The wreck was the worst In the his tory of the road. Its cause, according to Engineer Schroeder of the express, was his failure to see signals set against his train. The morning was foggy ami he said he could not make them out, The stretch of track from Elmlra to Corning Is fitted for fast running and Schroeder was sending his train along at sixty-five miles an hour. No. 9 was supposed to be' half an hour ahead of, him. He had no warning until he made, out the-outline of the rear coach of No. 9, through the fog. Then he threw In the reverse without shutting off steam. Schroeder said the Impact threw him from the cab and landed him on his shoulder on the roadbed practically unhurt.

Jack Johnson Is still the champion of the world but not because he prpved himself very much superior to Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, in the fight at Las Vegas, N. M.
