A derail switch was open, and the train, which was running at the rate of about 25 miles an hour, plunged into an embankment The moment the locomotive left the rails the ears in the rear were piled up about the engine, and both tracks were blocked. During the morning all of the passengers were transferred, a special train having been sent out from Reading. The wrecked train was the fast freight which runs between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Several days ago the Reading Company posted notices to the effect that trains would be run on a tingle track over Swatara bridge and directing all trains in both directions to come to a stop before crossing the bridge. An operator had been placed at the east end. and all trains were regulated by signals. Whether the crew had been advised of the change is not known, but it is asserted that the signals were against the train. BURNED IN A WRECKAGE Peer Me a KIIM fat a Rear Ead Freight Trala CeQIaUa. Logansport. Ind. (Special).—Four Panhandle Railroad trainmen met death near Onward. 14 miles southeast of here, in a rear-end collision of freight ttrains. The bodies of three of the dead were taken out badly mutilated, but the fourth was almost entirely consumed by flames which broke out soon after the wreck before the wredcing crew could subdue the fire sufficiently to permit work in that portion of the debris. During the night Conductor Weaver, in charge of the second section of a train consisting of an engine and two cabooses, left Hartford City for Logansport. In the rear caboose were Galbreath, Brosius and Greeley, who had been working on the gravel train at Hartford City, and who were en route to this cit/. All were asleep when the train stopped near Onward to make up steam. The flagman was sent out to watch for the third section, and no danger was thought of until the train loomed up too close for any of the men to escape, except Weaver, who jumped and got off uninjured. The wreck was most disastrous. Six cars were burned from the third section. which, with the two cabooses and the ruined engine, make the loss a large
