Through tlm negligence of a towermnn, who lay asleep at his post, a disastrous nud fatal freight train wreck occurred here In a tun nel on tbe Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, An engineer nnd a fireman were killed, and five unknown tramps are supposed to be dead In tho wreck. Tho property loss is estimated at iff 185,000. The man who wns responsible for the nccldont, Frank Lam tell, surrendered himself to C. O. O. Bent, n superintendent In the employ of the Balti more and Ohio llallroad Company. Ho is how under arrest. The known dead are George Lanb, engi neer, and Gcorgo Hlnchman, flremnu, both of this city. Their bodies and those ol the tramps aro burled beneath the wrecked cars, aud cannot be recovered until the fire which followed the collision Is extinguished. About thirty llromen of the city fire depart ment were either burned or overcome by smoke while fighting the flames. None of them, however, wus seriously lujured. The tunnel runs under Twenty-fifth street from Callowliill street to 1'iih mount Park, a distance of 2,t00 feet. It Is seml-clrcular, nnd the tracks lire up-grade from tbo Cul lowhlll street entrance. Every night a train known ns the New York freight express leaves, bere for Now York.

When It reached the tunnel tho engine was unnblo to pull It up tho grade, aud sbv enteon enrs were detached and loft standing about midway in the tunnel while tbe others were drawn through. It wus the duty of the tower operator, Lam. toll, to set a red signal on the semaphore at tho Callowblll street entrance to tho tun nel. Being asleep, as he admits, ho failed to do this, leaving the whlto light in view. At 11:30 o'clock tho socond section of tho freight, comprising thirty-eight cars, ap proached at tho rate of thirty miles an hour. Englnner Laub, seeing the white signal, gave the locomotive extra speed In order to curry the train up the grade. The rapidly moving train collided with the stnnding cars in tho tunnel with terrific force. Fire Immediately broke out, nnd three oil cars, each containing 4,000 gullons of oil, ex ploded. Soon the wreckage was a muss of flames. Owing to the heat and smoke and gaseous nlr in the tunnel tbe firemen entered thotun- nol only a short dlstnnco without being over come. Holes wero dug in tho street to mako vents, and the roof of the tunnel was blasted, but to no aval). Tbe bodies of the engineer and the fireman and thn five tramps who wero said to be on the train have doubtless been cremated. Shortly after tho collision Lamtell disap peared and could not be found, until hegnve himself up Into. When questioned he said: "I did it. Why the white signal remained in place I do not know, but it wns there, and the train went through as usuul. "I was asleep or dozing, and why I can not say, except that I feel myself overworked ; but am ready to stand tbe censure nnd take what comes to me. I bave no excuse to offer."
