The Injured were carried to Qreanshoro as rapMly as they could bo extri cated from the wreck and placed In St. Leo’s hospital. The derailment of the train was caused by a broken rail, about two hundred feet from the trestle that spans the small stream. The train was composed of two baggage, ex press and mall ears, three day coaches snd two Pullmans. The en gine and baggage, mall and express care passed over In safety, while the day coacbea and Pullman were thrown from tbo trestle into the creek and along the banks some twenty to thirty foot below. At the point where the first coach left the track, the right hand rail being broken, about eighteen Inch es from a Joint, the rail was broken into fragments for several feet, and torn entirely from the croastlea. The truck wheels ran on the tlea until near the trsatle, when the outside wheels went over, allowing the brake beams and axles to fall on the guard rail of the bridge. As the last coach waa about on the trej- tie. the five coaches toppled ove>-. broke loose from the mall and ev press oar and tumbled to the mud and water below.
