Horrifying scenes are reported from the neighbourhood of Pittsburgh, where shortly beioro midnight two trains of the Pennsylvania Railway.collided, killing 18 people and seriously injuring more than a score.

Large flares were. displayed as f warning, hut they wore unobserved by the C'iueinatti Limited train, which, with two lingo engines, seven heavy sleeping coaches and one club car, crashed ten minutes later at full speed into the Washington express. - The two engines of the Cincinnati train left the rails and capsized, with their fronts crushed in, and finally shot into the air and stood on end. The rearmost sleeping car of the express was telescoped for its full length, with the next car inside it. The third was jerked into a perpendicular position. El even coaches in all were derailed. Four bodies were found in the club car of the Cincinnati train. These people had been killed while reading and chatting. Most of the others killed were found in the telescoped sleeper.
