INJURIES ARE NOT SERIOUS
Engineer Sees Danger in Time to
Apply Airbrakes and Reduce
the Speed.
A head-on collision at Hallston sta-
tion, on the Bessemer & Lake Erie
railroad resulted in injuries to nine
passengers of the express train and
to the fireman and engineer. None
of the injured were able to continue
traveling.
A freight train was standing on a
siding near the station waiting for
the express to pass. The latter was
going 30 miles an hour and at the
curve at the switch jumped from the
main track to the switch, and
plinged into the freight engine. Both
engines were practically demolished,
and the baggage car of the express
was splintered at the front end.
Engineer S. B. Brown and Fire-
man J C. Lang jumped a moment be-
fore the collision occurred, and were
struck by splinters from the baggage
car, The passengers were hurled
from their seats at the impact, and
landed in heaps on the floor of the
cars.
After nearly two hours’ waiting an
engine reached Hallston from Butler,
and started with the train toward
Pittsburg. Another wreck was
| probably averted at Oneida station.
| it was found that a trestle bridge
| over Connoquennessing creek was
ablaze, and upon examination it was
decided to run the train over before
the fire gained further headway,
as there was no fire fighting appara-
tus about. This was done, and two
hours late the train reached Butler.

The zemstvo congress opened at mid-

M. Golovine, president of the organi- |

placed in the way of the congress, an-
nouncing that Gov. Kozloff had pro-
mised there would be no recourse to
extreme measures, when the chief of
police, with numerous commissaries
and officials, entered the room. The
chief announced that the perfect had
prohibited the meeting of the con-

Count Heyden protestediagainst the
