The two passenger coaehes were crowded with nearly 200 pas sengers as the train passed upon a large trestle forty-five feet high and over 100 yards long at a point three miles above Paca station. The en- gine was two thirds of the way over when a loud crash was heard. The engineer immediately put on all steam and by a tremendous effort jerked the engine and tender loose from the ill-fated train which, a sec- ond later, went through the trestle, the timbers collapsing like straws Ascene of indescribable horror ensued. The first coach, which was the smoker and was occupied prinei- pally by men, fell tiat on its side,and the end of the second coach crashed into its middle. Here the most de structive work was done. The acci- dent took place three miles from the nearest telegraph station and ima lonely and uninhabited section, not even a farm house being in sight. The few passengers who were unine injured immediately set to work to rescue the bruised and mangled vic- tims, while the engine ran on five miles toa telegraph station where word of the catastrophe was sent to the city and help asked for.
