A Down freight and a North-lease Ex- I tra sir-ea tare leeh Other near the low Canaan Crossing-Ina track Disen- Id for lawn by the Wreck—Inglneer Inn Picked up Unconscious and Badly Inland. A head-on collision occurred onlthe A Danbury and Norwalk division of the Consolidated railroad,just above the New Canaan road crossing, at 11 o’clock this morning. and the crew of each train had a narrow escape from fatal injuries. Two cars were telescopsd and others were hurled down the embankment on eithereideof the track. All the train hands were forced to jump to save their lives. The trains that collided were Con- ductor Mahonsy’s down freight, Engin- ear William Hora, locomotive 507, and an extra north-bound freight in charge of Conductor Fitz zibbons.Eagineer Com- stock, locomotive 462. The down train is due at the dock in South Norwalk at 11:15. It was composed of loaded box can, and was running down grade at a rapid rate. The up train was com- posed chiefly of coal cars. The first car on the up train was a platform car loaded with timber, and this was tele- eooped into a box car behind, loaded with tile sewer pipes. The tender of the engine was forced up into the cab of the locomotive, demolishing the cab, end the front end rested on the boiler. The other cars were not derailed. The two locomotives did not leave the track, but were forced together so that the cycllnder heads on each engine crash- edinto each other. The tender of the down train was pushed fifteen feet down the west embankment. followed by a '- platform car and a box car. On the east side one platform car and two box can , went down the embankment. The re- mainder of the train kept the rails. Both trains were long once, and the force with which they came together could be seen by the bent and twisted iron work. The cab of the down locomotive was also re- duced to kindling wood. The exact cause of the accident is not yet known, though at the scene there were several versions of how it oc- curred. One was that the up train had orders to meet the down train at Nor- walk, and ran by, while the other story wasthat the up train was to pass the down train at the Fair Grounds, just above, and that Engineer Mahoney ran by. The engineers of the trains discover- ed each other almost simultaneously, as the up train was just rounding the slight curve at that point, which hid the trains from view. Both whiatied for brakes at . the same time, and the engineers stuck to their posts, being the last to leave the trains. Both: Engineers Comstock and Horn were injured. Mr. Comatock's wrist was out against a barbed wire fence which he ,etruck, and he was badly bruised. lir- Horn was also badly bruised and render- ed unconscious. He was taken to the rmidence of J. M. Mallory, near the scene of the accident. Here he received medical attendance, and recovered in about an hour. He immediately return- cdto his engine. All of the crew were badly bruised and many were slightly cut by being struck by flying timber. Mr. Potter, the bead brakeman of the up train, was evidently the only man who did not jump. He was thrown from theplatfcrm car with the timber, as-it telesmpsd into the her car. The track is badly blocked and it will be several hours before it can be cleared. The wrecker at Danbury was . telegraphed for. The wrecked cars. as they left the track, tore down telegrah and telephone lines end communication by wire with points below Winnipsuh is cut oil.
