Pennsylvania A Ohio ami Cleve land A Pittsburgh roads crow When the New York, Pennsylvania t Ohio express reached this crovdng it ivm delayed for a considerable length of time. Behind the express and thundering along at a rapid rate wa a refrigerator train, used to transport meat and accutomcd to cover the distance it had to run at a speed little lev than that of an ordinary passenger train. After the halt at the Cleveland A- Pittsburgh crossing was ended, the express hurried on to Ka venna and pulled up at the dcKL But the time the train wan held at the Cleveland A Pittsburgh road was suf ficient to permit the meat train to come up. and hardly had the wheels of the express ceased t revolve when the engine of the freight crashed into the rear end of the express almost at full speed. The scene that followed was terrible in the extreme. The engine plowed it way, pushed on by the Height and mo mentum of the heavy cars behind it through the coaches as if they were made of thin loards. Above the grind ing and crunching of the cars could lie heard the agonized shrieks of maimed passengers, who but a few sccondt le fore were sound asleep. There were two or three sleepers on the train aud these were well filled. There was alo a car of excursionists bound east. Many glass blowers from Kindlay were on Iward going to New York state, A dozen people from Akron composed an excursion party on the ill-fated train. When the collision occurred those in the rear cars were eitlu r instantly killed, wounded or pinned down by portion of the demolished ear. The latter could not escaie unnided, ami in the terrible friirht and confusion that followed and Ik? fore the citizens f the town could reach the scene of the dis aster tire started and spread with frightful rapidity If the accident had liecn awful lfore it was now an un equalled horror. The llauics rushed through the debris ami the shrieks of the maimed or pin ioned could 1h plainly heard on the night air. Forward of this wounded and unharmed passengers were getting themselves out of the cars thet were still intact They did all they ecu Id to stay the Unmet and rescue the i-nper-iled. But before this was done nine teen tieople were sacrificed, that many bodies lcing taken out nfterwnrd. Most of these mangled corpses wsr blackened and burned in a manner sickening to look iim, some of them being roasted into unrecognizable masses. As the work of taking out the bodies progressed the full extent of the calam ity dawned upon the workers from the town and those of the passengers who escaped alive. By daylight nineteen bodies had Iwcn carried out. Those wounded to a considerable ex tent nutnlwred twenty-three. Many others were bruised aud scratched. At daylight n subdued aud fearful crowd of several hundred stood at the station, gazing upon the awful sight, while all about them was a .smothering odor of burning human tlcsli. arising from a mass of blackened, henped-up wreckage.
