ERIE HAS WRECK Fast Eastbound Freight Has Wreck, Several Cars Leaving Track. TRAFFIC DELAYED No One Was Injured and the Loss to Company Was Slight. A wreck, although proving not to be very destructable in the property line, but which caused the delay of traffic for several hours, occurred on the Erie Wednesday noon just west of the city limits. A fast eastbound freight met with an accident, owing to the brakes failing to work for some cause or other, and as a result three box cars were thrown off the track, causing much inconvenience until the same could be cleared. The wrecking crew was ordered from Huntington, and the track was soon put into shape that traffic might be resumed. The only loss suffered was the damage done to the cars. No one was hurt. A passenger train, westbound, and due here at 12:47, was held over for several hours until things were in shape for it,to pass. A number of people were on the scene watching the wrecking crew clear away the wreckage.
