The wreck, according to the officials of the company, was caused by a misunderstanding of orders, or neglect to obey them on the part of the crow of the freight train. The Dead, Charles W. Pool, engineer of pas senger train, Conneaut, Ohio. Joseph Alexander, Newark, N. J. Frank Weaver, Findlay, Ohio. Nine Italian laborers. The Injured Include the following: John W. Long, Cleveland.

In charge of a foreman. Engineer C. C. Poole of the passen ger train, was killed on the passenger train while trying to reach for the air brake. His fireman saved himself by Jumping. The high speed of the pas- songer train threw Its lOMlfcnotlve and first three coaches over cm the engine of the freight train, teloscoping the smoker and the car following. Several cars of the freight train were splinter-, ed to fragments. Of the passengers lnt the smoker, none escaped Injury. Fortunately there was no fire, but the heavy Umbers of the wrecked cars pinned down many and prevented tnem getting out unUl assistance arrived. Doctors ere sent on a special train to the scene from Lorrine. When the trains came together, al most' everybody In the smoker was dozing. The sudden jar hurled them out of their seats into the aisle and the roof and sides oi the car seemed all at once to crush in like a paper bag, pinning down the passengers. The passengers In the second car were more fortunate. There the violence of the Impact was not so severe, though fow got off without cuts, bruises, sprains or broken bones. No passen gers In the sleepers were Injured. The men on the train who escaped injury worked hard to rescue the vic tims and .were aided by residents from the vicinity of the wreck. Some of the injured were placed In the sleeping cars while others were removed houses near the siding. Blunder Over the Time. President Canlff of the Nickel Plate states that from the lnformaUon in the hands of the officials the freight crew had orders to go'on the siding at Klshman and there await the passage of the passenger train. This done in time to permit the passenger train to go by. or a flagman to be sent out to protect thé train. Great Match at Spokane.
