at the estimated speed of 50 milos
nn hour,lho special Pullman train
bearing Robert C Ogdcn and 100
numbers of the Southern Conference

four persons and injuring a score
of others. None of MrOgden's
guests were killed.
* The dead are:

The combination baggage and
club car and two diners, together
with the locomotive and a freight
car, were piled into a heap, and

breakfast in the second diner,
which wus torn to pieces. The

prisoning the occupants. Seth
Low and Mrs Low, Bishop MeVickar,
and others, were rescued
