A MRIOUS WRICK Occurred at Upper Sandusky This Morning and Six People Are Dead. MANY WERE HURST Fast Express Crashes Into a Pullman Train on the Pennsylvania, (United Fraas Service.) Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Dec. 24(Special to Daily Democrat) —Three trainmen and three passengers were killed and one passenger fatally hurt and a half-dozen others badly injured in a collision of two Pennsylvania trains near here early today. Train No. 48, a solid express, Chicago to New York, crashed into Train No. 15. a solid Pulman, Pittsburg to Chicago. Two engineers, one an extra on the express, were killed. The others killed and injured were on the Pullman train. The westbound track on which' the Pullman was running, was blocked by a stalled freight train. The Pullman took the eastbound track to await orders. The railroad officials are investigating why the tower man did not signal the eastbound train to stop, as it plunged into the Pullman while running fifty-five miles per hour. T. C. Beebe, baggagemaster, killed, lived at Fort Wayne. - — BELATED MAIL Many Christmas Packages Will Arrive Late — According to Mail Clerk A railway mail clerk of the G. R. & I. who passed through the city this morning said that every train on the G. R. & I. was overloaded with mail containing registered letters, Christmas packages, papers, letters, etc. Owing to the new system that the postmaster general has put in vogue this year for the sake of economy, no extra help can be hired and consequently the clerks are forced to do much extra work. They cannot do all of it, so much mail is each day is left untouched. The clerk stated that there would be many who would not receive presents this year on account of this new system. So if you do not receive your Christmas mail in time, do not blame the government employees but the system. The clerk said that this is the case on all railroads and in all offices of the United States mail department. Many cities that have been accustomed to hire fifteen to twenty substitutes, are forced to do the work without the assistants this year, and consequently the government employees are disheartened and the public is being imposed upon.
