COLLISION WAS INEVITABLE
Engineer Seeing No Light Dashes by
Station ami Collides With Another
Train That Had So Warn-
ing of Danger.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Dee. 27.—The
(hath list tonight resulting from a
head-on collision between two Pere
Marquette railroad passenger trains
near East Paris yesterday evening
stands at 22, with 29 persons injured,
several of th;m probably fatally.
The wreck i» charged io the high
wind, which extinguished the red sig-
nal light in the ‘order” board at Mc-
Cords station, where the westbound
train was expected f; stop and1 rt ■ elve
orders. Two minutes1 before the train
rushed by McCord's- station, the light
was burning, rays the opera*or there;
but in that brief interval the hlizard
that was raging extinguished it and
train No. 5. flashed by the station to
crash into the east bound train No. 6,
near East Paris.
Severn! ears, which were two of the
fir- -I on the system were reduced to
a promiscuous pile ;f broken and
twisted timber and metal, dead md in
.inred people were pinned down anti
crushed by til" fragments of the heavy
cars.

When train No, 6, hound west,
whized by McCord’s instead of slop
ping, tlie frightened operator notified
tlic dispatcher, then found that, his red
signal light had been extinguished. H"
reported this fact, and then there was
but one action to take. The c.iilisio:
was inevitable. The dispatchers' office
called for medical aid and gavt orders
lo hold the trains over the Saginaw
branch at. the station and get. flu
wrecking outfit, under steam. They
then waited for the word they knew
must. come.
There was no chance of the express
trains to see eveh other through tit
blinding blizzard In time to even slow
down, anil in few minutes word came
from the conductor of No. 5 that they
had crashed together and that theft
was an awful loss of life. The west-
bound engine drove through No. fi’s
engine like a wedge that machine, part
from boiler and setting the-da’ier o
end like a broken twisted shell. Thr
running gear was crumpled up like so
much twine. The great cast steel side
rod* were bent into many shape-- and
even the steel tires Of the big driving
wheels were split and sprung from the
wheels, landing in some eases ten feet
from the engine. The boiler of engine
No. 397 turned over several times and
the very force of the twisted park
stems to have been the means of sav-
ing the life of Enginer Waterman. He
was flung forty feet over the fence li-
the edge of the right, of way. Moon,
his fireman, was sitting -on the oppo
site side of the cab. and he, too, was
throw-n clear of the pile of wreckage
As the trains came together the steam
domes of each boiler blew off. releas-
ing their contents, els? there would
have been added horrors from tte
blistering steam. According to -”ar‘
ments made by officials of the Pere
Marquette, the westbound train was
traveling down grade at a rate of BO
miles an hour. The eastbound train
was climbing the hill at a speed of 40
miles an hour. The former carried
probably 75 passengers, while the lat-
ter Is believed to have carried 125 pas-
sengers. The two trains collided at
aboift the middle of a long, sweeping
nerve, three quarters of a mile west
of East Paris. On the inner side of
the curve Is a high embankment, pre-
venting a view- of the track ahead.
MORE TERRIBLE THAN WAR.
Railroad Fatalities for Year Greater
Than Loss in Battle.
Harrisburg. Dee. 27.—Hazards pf
railroad life are sharply emphasized
in the annual report of Major t B.
Brown, seretary of the department of
internal affairs, in which a parallel
is drawn between the casualties
among railroad employes in this state
in the last year and the Fnion losses
on some of the greatest battlefields of
the civil w-ar. The casualties among
steam railway employes in Pennsyl-
vania for the year covered by the re-
port was 15.382. The combined fig-
ures for the steam and street railways
show a greater number of casualties
during the year -‘than occurred
throughout the union army in auy one
of the great battles of the civil war.”
The figures of the street railways fol-
lows: During the year the number of
passengers killed was 41 and injured
1,727. Of the employes of these street
railway corporations 21 were killed
and 252 injured; of oilier persons 105
were killed and 1,090 injured, mak-
ing the total number of fatal acci-
dents on the lines of these corpora-
tions 227, and the total number of
non-fatal .‘1.059, or a total of ,290
casualties.”

New Orleans, La., Dec. 27.—The
