Intn.a rt,m,t,,A1 aaotgiln TPfltoiicn' fl
theatre last night know that when the ap
plauso was highest a. railroad engineer and
fireman lay victim', not ft mile distant, tq
the storm that indicated its presence by the)
heavy taps upon tho roof Of the theatre.
Whatever the graduates or others'
thought, at 10 o'clock last night, half an"
hour before tho graduating exorcises closed,
two men were picked up from,
a wrecked train near tho east end of. the
West Shenandoah colliery dirt bank and!
carried to tho watch houso at tho William'
Penn turnpike crossing.
These two men-were .Samuel Bailey and
William Roeber. The former was engi-i
neer and the latter fireman of coal train en-l
gino No. 503, and their engine fell a victim'
to a washout.
Owing to the late hour and the distance
of the scene of tho accident, coupled with
the heavy rain storm, tho news did not
reach town, as quick as it would undor more
fivorable circumstances. But as soon as it,
did Chief of Polico Dayis and a Herald.
reporter started for the scene of tho accl
dent. It was found between the two great
dirt banks of tbo Turkey Run and West
Shenandoah collieries, and at a point about
75 yards east of the William Penn turn
pike. Thero the engine was found topsy
turvey. The front of the engino, with its
still burning headlight, was pointed south
and its rear end was pointod north. The
tender lay the same way, side by side with
the engine, and upon the walking plank of
the tender rested the front whoels of a
loaded gondola. The latter loaned to the
north and was off both rails. The remain
der of the loaded coal train stood upon the
rails, but rested heavily against the derailed
gondola and wrecked locomotive.
The story Is this: At about 9,45 o'clock
last night when the storm was severe, en
gine No, 603 started out from Indian Ridge
colliery with a loaded coal train. Tho train
proceeded cautiously and was running at
the rate of about a mile an hour when the
bed of the road suddenly gave way, Samuel
Bailey, the engineer, at onco whistled
for all brakes on and dived through the cab
windows. Fireman William Roeber did
not take In the situation at once. This is
accounted for because the engine is a dirt
burner and, of courso, tho fireman is dls
tant from the engineer. However, the en
gineer jumped and sprained his back. The
fireman foil in such a position that escaping
steam from tho over-turned engine scalded
tho lower part of his legs, his arms and his
neck.
.Tb.e wreck had boon caused by a washing
gut of the road, due to an extraordinary
flow ot water from the dirt banks on the
north side of the road. Tho place at which
tho washout occurred looked as if there had
been an immense cavo-in. ,
The slow pace at which the train was run
preventod a horrible "wreck. Slnginorir
Bailey and Fireman Roebor receivod help
from the crew and were taken to the watch
house at the William Ponn crossing,
Shortly after their arrival there P. J, For-
guson and Drs. Stein and Hamilton ap
peered on the scene and thoy found VIoo
President W. F. Sadler, Jr,, with an olec-
trio car nearby in charge of P. Stack, J.
Leckieand Daniel Snyder, Mr. Sadler
had boon called from the theatre In Shen
andoah and was on his way down tbo road
(o see what damage the storm had done,
but toeing tbo wreck on the Reading line
stopped tho car and got off to invest!-!
gato, Mr, Sadler at once placed his car at
the disposal of Mr. Ferguson and tho vic
tims, and proceeded down tho electric lino
with gum boots and rubber coat.
Bailey and Roeber wore brought to town
and tho latter was carried on a stretcher
from the electric car to the Reading pas
senger depot. B. J. McGinness, proprietor
of tho Watson House, at once handed to
Policeman McGrail a pitcher of steaming
coffee and the beverage was dealt out to tbo
victims and thoir frionds at the depot.
When tho Herald reporter and Onlof
of Police Davis had walkod back from the
scene ofthe washout they found Bailey and
Roebor In the depot with the other mem-
bora of tho crew and Mr, Ferguson.
Bailoy said he was all right and Roebor,
who laid upon a stretcher said he felt good.
Mr. Ferguson remained with tho victims,
until they were placed upon a train for
Mahanoy Plane. Upon their arrival at
tho Plane the victims were put in a carri
age furnished by Surcin'endent Bertolette
to convey tbem to their homes in Frack
ville. A Herald reporter saw both irjurod
men just before they started for their homes
and they professed and appeared to be but
slightly injured.
Several other places along the P. & K
and Lehigh Valley railroads between hero
and Ashland were badly washed out and
traffic was considerably delayed to-day in
consequenco of them.
The storm did considerable damage
along the electric railway, Thero were two
washouts below Packer colliery No. 4 and
the trestle at No. 6 was considerably dam
aged. During the first part of to-day tho
cars could not run further than the upper
part of Wm. Penn, but within a few hours
the tracts were in condition for traffic as
lar as the Lost Creek base ball grounds.
The whole road is in running condition
now.
This morning no early trains could bo
run on any of the railroads between hero
and Ashland.
