The train was moving at forty miles an hour when the flange of a drive wheel struck the point of a frog of a switch, throwing the after part of the locomotive and the tender off the rails, The locomotive and the tender sep- arated and the locomotive continued for fifty yards, bumping the ties until it went down the embankment and turned over in the swamps through which the Erle runs for miles in thut region. The solid steel train, baggage car, four express cars, two mail cars, two coaches, three sleepers and dining car, followed the derailed tender off the rails, tearing up the right of way, untl only the dining car was left on the tracks, Passengers were thrown from thelr berths as the train jolted and swayed on the Ues, but the steel construction prevented telescoping and held the cars upright, though at times Conduc- tor Col.

A short circuit started the fire un der the fourth car of the train, which filled with smoke, A minute or two later some one who knew the emer- gency exit had reached the street and turned in a fire alarm. Capt. Joseph Loonan of the ast 104th Street Police Station came to the scene with a squad of reserves, who descended into the tunnel and helped some of the more excited pas- sengers to the street. Power was shut off, so that passengers along the track were not in danger from the third rail, and train guards with extinguish- ers soon had the fire out. The damage was slight. The police have no report that any- body was injured, but one girl, Violet Ballen, No. 108 East 128th Street, after walking with apparent calmness to the 86th Street Station, proceeded to faint as soon as she reached that safe place.
