TWO TRAINS COLLIDE
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT MEET
NEAR IOWA STATION.
No One Fatally Hurt but a Score Were
Slightly Injured. Crews Saved their
Lives by Jumping.
The second collision of passenger and
freight trains on the Low Grade Divi
sion of the P. R. R. of a serious nature
that has occurred since the road has
been in operation, almost thirty-five
years, took place on a curve about a
half rallo east of Iowa station and nine
miles west of Reynoldsville a few
minutes before six o'clock last Thurs-.
day evening, Feb. 23, when the east
bound passenger train, No. 105, duo
here at U.15 p. m., and second section of
westbound passenger train No. 114, duo
here at 5.27 p. m., collided. Thirteen
pussengers and three trainmen were
injured, but no one fatally injured. The
easlbound train was composed of engine,
baggage car and two coaches and the
westbound was a big freight engine and
one coach. Had the west-bound beon a
heavier train tho result would have
been more serious. The engineers and
firemen saw the danger in time to jump
and save their lives. The injured were:
Ed. Gallagher, of Penfield, freight
brakeman, right log broken near the
thigh ; Bert Furgeson, baggagemaster,
right leg badly injured and aho was
Injured on right side by a heavy safe
bumping up against him. Engineer
M Montgomery, of the passenger train,
had his right leg injured when he
jumped off engine ; C. M. Reynolds, of
Brookville, head, right arm and left
leg injured ; W. P. Walsh, of Soranton,
bot h legs hurt ; M. E. Quigley, of New
ark, N. J., teeth loosened and 4of t leg
hurt ; Charles E. Thorpp, of Phila
delphia, advance agent for "MIbs Bob
White," left leg badly Injured ; Theo
dore Levis, of Broekwayvillo, head cut;
L. Levis, of Broekwayvillo, left leg
injured ; Mrs. M. S. Sibtey, of Broek
wayvillo, head bumped ; George J.
Britten, of Broekwayvillo, nose and leg
cut ; F. B. Cochburn, of Rldgway, nose
cut ; L. H. Morgan, of Ridgway, arm
hurt ; Joseph Hall, Sabula, face hurt ;
Mrs. J. J. Webster, of Harmony, side of
face injured ; George C. Ling, of Du
Bois, head badly cut. The passengers
were all considerably Bhaken up.
Martin Pbalun, of this place, road
supervisor on Low Grade, was on train
105 and he walked to Fuller, the near
est telegraph office, three miles from
wreck, and reported the collision to the
dispatchers office at Reynoldsville. A
relief train, with four doctors on it, was
soon run down to wreck and the injured
wero cared for and about nine o'clock
some of them wore brought to this place
and others were taken to DuBois.
M. Montgomery was engineer on
passenger and Robt Crlbbs conductor,
and Thomas Brlsbin engineer on freight
and Denny McCormick conductor. The
collision was caused by the freight
onginoer and conductor misunderstand
ing their order. They bad an order to
meet second section of train 105 at Bolls
siding and were supposed to give first
section of 105 a cluar track, but for some
reason they overlooked the word
" second " and wore going to Bolls to
meet and pass train No. 105. It is
claimed that the engineer, fireman,
conductor and flagman all read the
order givon them by oporator at Fullor
and that tho word "second" was not
plain and they all overlooked it. The
cool headodnoBS, brave and quick work
of the engineers in slacking the speed
of tholr fiery steeds, prevented a much
mure sorious collision than would other
wise have occurred. Engineer Mont
gomery was on outside of curve and did
not know of the danger until bis fire
man yelled for him to jump. Engineer
Montgomery put on the emergency
brako before he jumped. A second
more and ho would havo been too late.
Ho had notBtruck tho ground yot when
tho engines collided. The tank of
passenger engine was shoved up into
the cab of engine, which would have
killed the engineer and fireman had
they not jumped. The passenger
engine was turned into a scrap pile ; it
wus badly demolished. The freight
engtno and baggage car were also con
siderably damaged. The wreck was
cleared away in about six hours after
tho collision.
Brakeman Gallagher was brought to
Frank's Tavern Thursday night and
Saturday morning was taken to the
West Penn Hospital in Pittsburg.
The first collision of passenger and
freight trains on Low Grade Div. occur
red near Hawthorn about thirty years
ago. Tho baggagomaster was killed and
several passengers badly injured.
Engineer Montgomery is at his home
in West Reynoldsville.
