TRAINS CRASH [Collision on on D, | L & W. Road Just Outside of Hoboken. /MANY PASSENGERS HURT One Woman Among Those Who Were Injured—Railrood Officials Are Investiffating. A passenger train on the Morris and Essex Division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Raflroad ran into a freight train just outside the tunnel back of Hoboken at 2.30 jo'clock this afternoon. John Brennan, the engineer of the | passenger train, was so badly burt |that he will probably die, and sev- eral passengers were also badly hurt. The engincor wes taken to a hospital in Hoboken. | It was possible to get the names of only three of the injured passengers. They were Mrs. St. Clair, of Dover, N. J.; James Riley and Edward | Ward, of Paterson. These three were severely bruised and were at- |tended by physicians in Hobokn. | All the passengers were taken to Hoboken on a special train that was sent out from the depot as soon as the news of the accident arrived. Making an Inves The railroad authorities are not yet able to give the cause of the ac- eldent, but an investigation is being made. The wreck occurred very near the spot where the last accident on this raad took place, about a month ago, when the roof of the tunnel fell in and blocked the trackt so that two trains ran into the de- bris. The train which was wrecked was the Morristown special, which leaves Hoboken at 2.15 o'clock. The tunnel is Just back of Jersey City and very close to Secaucus. The train had emerged from the tunnel and was in the clear light. It is supposed that the freight was on a siding and that the switch had been left turned by mistake. The road is still blocked, and it ts probable that traffic will be delayed Commuters who can reach their homes without re- sorting to the D., L. & W. will save ‘l time by avotding this route until the wreck is cleared Gis CREW HELPLESS; SHIP TOWED IN.
