At the scene of the accident the railroad runs along the steep hill, at the bottom of which stood two rows of houses, occupied by the Philadel- phia and Reading Coal and Iron company's employees. On the hill side stood a little cottage occupied by John Quinn and family of four children, two boys and two girls. The force of the explosion wrecked the buildings, seventeen in all, and the stoves set fire to the ruins Quinn and his little girls were burn- ed to death. The two boys escaped with burns. In all, twelve cars were destoyed and seventeen houses with their fur- niture. All the windows in the Lo- cust Gap churches and schools were broken and the doors blown off.
