Fourth Accident'Wilhin a “’eek
tween these two Station of th- Lehigh
Company.
New York, Jan. 10,-LThrough a blun-
der of the railroad telegraph operator
at South Plainfield, so it is now ascer-
tained, thirteen persons are known to
have lost their lives, and upward of
forty are more or less seriously injur-
ed in the collision yesterday afternoon
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at West
Dunellen, N. J.
The excursion train was filled with
business men and their families, from
Pennsylvania towns; and about one
hundred men were on their way here
to witness the McCoy— Sharkey fight to-
night.
Both trains were on the west bound
track owing to the fact that 'the east
bound track, near Dunellen, was tem-
porarily blocked by a'wreck of freight
trains. I
According to the best information
now obtainable the accident occurred
through the action of the operator at
South Plainfield allowing the excursion
train to go by, when the railroad offi-
cials say that he had been ordered to
hold all trains. '
However that may be, the excursion
went by and met the east bound local
from New York head on.
Both trains, it seems, were coming
at full speed, and the two were crash—
ed together with terrific force. Be—
cause there were ‘comparatively few
passengers on the local the loss of
life was largely. confined to the ex-
cursion.
As it was they tore into each other,
crashing through the frail woodwork
of the cars and strewing the tracks
with the wreckage and the dead and
wounded.
On the Special train from the coal
regions was a theatre party from Sun-
bury, Pa, consisting of ten persons
some of the most p1ominent people in
the town.

Among those who arrived in the
Central New Jersey local were 0. R.
Staine. Young Stalne gave his expe-
rience as follows:
“I do not know much about the 10-
cality where the wreck occurred. 1
was reading the newspaper when the
trains collided . The train was going
at a pretty good rate at the time. i
heard the locomotive VVh'istle just be-
foze the collision. The next thing I
knew there was a. great crash and]
was thrown over several seats. My
right leg wascaught in the seat and
glass and splinters of wood were fly-
ing all about me.

for a while.
“Then I heard the shrieks and cries
of the wounded and the escaping of
steam, and it was something horrible.
I managed to crawl out from the car
and was lifted from the wreckage by
a couple of train hands. When I ,tried
to stand up I found I could not.

assisted to a pile of railroad ties and
sat down. I had a good chance to see
the wreck from where I was. It was
indescribable. The front car of our
train was almost split in ,two. The 10-
comotives were nothing but a. mass of
twisted iron and brass. I could hear
the cries and groans of those in the
wreck. All the time the steam was
escaping. A fire broke out in one 01
the wrecked cars, but was put out.
I saw the train hands and others help-

would have perhaps survived. The es-'

hard for the people rescuing to get at
the dead and wounded. It was a 1101-
r-ible spectacle and I never want to
see another like it. ” .
This is the fourth accident within a
week on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
in the six miles of track between
Bound ,Brook and Newmarket.
Owing to another accident there in
the! morning, the two trains.~ bound in
opposite directions, were compelled to
use the same track. ,
'Both trains were proceeding at to}:
speed and the west bound train
ploughed through the east bound train.
As soon as the news of the wreck
could be placed on the wire physicians-
