SEVEN DEAD, FORTY INJURED REAREND COLLIS!ON OF PASSEN- GER TRAINS AT CLIFTON STATION, PA. Pittsburg, March 6.—After the most searching investigation it is now prac- tically certain that the list of dead caused by the collision between the two special trains from Cleveland on the Pennsylvania railroad at Clifton Station will not exceed seven, all mem- bers -of the Ohio state militia. The list of injured will reach forty, six or seven of whom are likely to die. Both trains left Cleveland about noon and were muking a good run through to Washington. The national guard engineers had the first train, which consisted of a baggage and six Pullmans. Just after the train had passed through the Conway yards it had to be stopped on account of a hot box. The box was cooled off, but three other stops were necessary by the time Sewickley had been reached. These delays allowed the second section to catch up and, after passing Sewickley, the trains were running but one block apart. At Clifton the first train was again stopped by the hot box. The trainmen say Flagman John Murray was sent back as an extra precaution to stop the train fol- lowing in case it had passed the last set of signals, but in spite of the engi- neer’s efforts to stop the heavy train sped on over the slippery rails and crashed fairly into the real coach of the first train, The wreck was scattered along a dis- tance of half a mile. The six cars which had been destroyed were burn- ing fiercely almost before the occu- pants of the other cars, which re- mained on the tracks, were able to leave them. The flames lit up the scene for miles around. The heat was so intense that the occupants of the cars which es- caped injury were almost scorched in their efforts fo assist the imprisoned passengers.
