A a result of the co11osion four H\'cs were hearlded into etcrnitv without a moment ! ; warning. it appears that the crew of 48 , was running a au extra had pulle(1 ( into the yards from the west but a sltOrt time before the schelnlel ( ( time of 4h , which WtS also coming from the west. 'rhe crew of 4R was compelled to bring its train in two sections from Merna 011 account of its length and heft , there being ' 7 cars. II waR making the trip back to Merna to bring up the secon section that bronght the trains < ; 0 dose togethcr. ' [ 'he conductor - tor on 4S , on reaching the depot received notice of the near approach - preach of 46 and at once started to get his train on the side track by hackiug" to the upper switch. Hc had succeeled in getting back to the ! > witch and had entered on the side track when 4 ( " under fu11 speed ran into the wa ) ' car. The car was reduced to kindling , the locomotive completely demolished - molished and landed on a bank to the north with the engincer under it. 'rwelve or fourteen carR loaded with lumber , coal and such merchandise werc bad Iv wrecked. 'l'he engineer wag held 111 his position for five hour before - fore death relieved him of his torture. His body had all heen freed except o e hand , when death came , which was afterward amputated in order to release his body which was found to be terribly mangled , Supt. Calvert , who wm ; on 41 , came np from Ravenna with the wrecking lorew and gave his personal aHe-utioll to earring for the dead aul having - ing the wreckage cleared. Supt. Phelan of Alliance , al'ri\'l (1 later from the west with a wreckil1 crew aul leut his aHsislanl'l : . No. 41 was detained at Ra\'ertlHl until evening , when it received orders to mo\'e on to this city and transfer its passengers an < l baggage around the wreck to 42 which was held at Merna. Dr. J. H. Morrow of Merna , impanneled a jury and took the bodies in charge to holtl an iu- quest. As we go to press this Li"riday morning the work of the Il1\'estigation has not been com- pleted.

'rhe dead are . : 'Thos. Kelley , engineer ; .T. Ii" gaton , liremanj John Akers , breakman ; and a passenger by the name of Whit- tenberger or Lorwill , Ind. It i e\ ' dent the engineer failed - ed to see 48 , as he had not reversed - versed his engine or thrown on the breaks. His conductor , W. J. Buffing , thinks the steam from his engine must have prevented him seeing ahead. Just where the blame will he found is still with the jury.
