FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
That the fatalities were not more is remarkable. The train passed this city twelve minutes late and was running at great speed.
It consisted of three express cars, two of them "dead heads" next to the engine, two mail cars, baggage combination car, day coach and two sleepers. The two wooden cars next to the engine were ground to pieces and one steel car badly twisted. The advantage of steel cars in a wreck was exemplified, as they were little damaged. The engine, Number 8635, one of the new type six wheelers, was buried in the ground over the steam chest, directly at the side of the track, the two cars next lying north and south, and the remainder of the train forming big cross.
None of the passengers were injured. One woman was resting her head on a window and received a slight bruise.
Pickering, the fireman, was in the act of shoveling coal, his gloved hand resting on the tender. His body was caught in this position and remained thus four hours until the wreckage could be raised and the body released. He was a married man and had one child. His home was in Columbus.
William Ginbey, the engineman, was thrown through the cab window and was found unconscious at the side of the track. His injuries are not serious and he was brought to this city by the company's surgeon, Dr. Charles K. Bruner, and later went to his home in Columbus.
Dan Mullin, the baggageman, was making out his report when the wreck happened. He is one of the oldest men on the road and has been in numerous wrecks. He thought it was a collision. His hand was mashed.
C. J. Knavil, also of Columbus, express messenger, has a sprained back. None of the passenger cars left the track. Dr. Bruner, of this city, was the first physician on the scene and gave medical attention to the injured.
It is the opinion that a freight crew left the switch open. The track is torn up completly for a distance of several hundred feet.
The wrecked train was the early morning mail and runs on a fast schedule, making very few stops between St. Louis and Pittsburg.
Of the several mail clerks on the train none were from Greenfield. Ernest Evans, formerly a resident of this city, was one of the clerks.,

ex-
Pennsylvania mail and expi'ess train number eighteen, St. Louis to New York, ran into an open switch at C. U. Cabin, Cleveland, six miles east of this city, at four thirty this morning, causing the death of the iireman, Chas. Pickering, of Columbus, Ohio, great destruction of property and at least eight hours delay in traffic.
The regular conductor was off duty and the train was in charge of Billy Walls, an extra conductor, of Columbus, Ohio.
It is considered one of the most remarkable experiences of railroading that others were not killed.
Most railroad men believe that a man lives until the time comes that he is to die, and in this wreck one of them said this was plain from the way the tender of the engine swerved, barely missing Grinbey, and crushing his fireman.
Dan Mullin, the baggagemaster, said there is always two lunges of a train in a wreck and that the second one usually does the damage to life and property. He was hurled across his car by the first lunge and in the second's time that elapsed before the dreaded second, that lie expected would be fatal to himself and passengers. Fortunately it was not the case. The big heavy cars in the rear of the train withstood tl^e shock and the passengers expressed little discomfort. When they discovered what had occurred, however, some were greatly excited. One man said he was all over the car in a half minute.
Hundreds of people visited the scene of the wreck, and at one time more than one hundred automobiles were standing in the vicinity.
Pickering's body was removed about 9 o'clock and taken to Charlottesville, as it was more convenient to ship the body east from there than this city.
Passengers, mail and express are being transferred until the track is opened, probably this evening. The wreck will not 'be cleared away for two or three days.
FROM SATURDAY'S DAILY.
A woman passenger on the train wrecked at Cleveland yesterday morning slept through the crash and when she awoke to find the train stopped, calmly inquired what the trouble was. She was in a Pullman.
Mr. and Mrs. James A. Hatfield, who live on their farm nearest the wreck, did not know of it until they arose Friday morning to discover a frightful sight with many people gathered to see the result of the disaster.
One of the mail clerks working in the west end of his car when the crash came, was set down upon the floor with more haste and force than dignity and as quickly slid forward, striking the feet of another clerk who came down also and together they slid the length of the car.
The express messenger, whose back was sprained, was making his first trip over this division. He found himself in an adjoining field after the crash.
The first reports of the wreck were greatly exaggerated. The following is from the Richmond Item: "As a result of the anticipation of more serious results by those who first reached the wreckage, a telephone call was sent to an undertaking establishment in this city asking that it send several men to the scene with all the cots, ambulance baskets and equipment that could be gotten together. It was requested that five physicians be sent also. All preparations for a relief train frpm this city were then made. However, by the
time the physicians and undertakers with their equipment gathered at the station further word was received that the wreck was not as serious as at first feared and that the assistance from Richmond would not be needed. The relief train was then abandoned."
The scene of the Pennsylvania wreck presented the appearance of a county fair yesterday, and last night people were there from all parts of this section of the country. A big force of men worked with heavy derricks all day, but little change in the appearance of the wreck was made by night except in clearing the right of way so that trains could pass.
One of the wrecked express cars ccrtitained eighteen crates of chickens bound for New York. Some of them were killed and the remainder released by the wreck. They scattered themselves over neighboring fields and foraged to their delight. Last night they returned to the wreck and "roosted" on the trucks of the car.
An inquest was held during the day over the body of the dead fireman by Coroner Allen at Charlottesville. It developed that this was the young man's last trip over the road before his annual vacation which he was anticipating with pleasure. He and his wiie and Child were going to the home of his father, a farmer near Reynoldsburg. Ohio, this Sunday, and only a short time before the accident Pickering was talking to the engineer, William Ginby, about what a good time thev would have.
LIKE COUNTY FAIR
Hundreds From Every Direction Vis
ited Cleveland Sunday to Watch
Work of Wrecking Crew.
The scene of the recent wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad, near Cleveland, was visited by hundreds of people Sunday, from every direction and in every kind of conveyance. Many went from simple curiosity, just to see the spot and remains of the wreck. A majority, however, went to witness the hoisting of the big engine from the mud onto the track. The word had spread over the county that this work would be done Sunday by the wrecking crews. The scene was like a county fair, as the weather was ideal, and many auto parties from a great distance were there. Electrics cars leaving this city were filled with the sight seers.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1910.
FORMER GREENFIELD WOMAN KILLED
The following is from the Los Angeles Times: A woman was killed and her husband injured when a southbound nouthern Pacific train, due in Long Beach at 4:20 o'clock, struck their light wagon at ()he corner of Second street and Daisy avenue, a point at which the railroad track turns into West Second street. The victims of the accident were Mr. and Mrs. Cicero Watts, aged 56 and 48 years, respectively, who live at Lomita, a small settlement five miles southeast of Redondo Beach, and who had driven here this morning with a load of potatoes.
They were hurrying homeward after spending the day here fishing. Failing to hear .an alarm bell which rang at the corner, heraldidg the approach of the train, Watts drove upon the track. As he did so his wife cried "Oh! There's a train." Watts turned the horses sharply to the right and off the track. This brought the side side of the wagon on which his wife sat nearest the train. The pilot of the engine struck the left front wheel of the wagon, breaking it down, and Mrs. Watts fell across the track, her head directly in front of the engine's wheels. Her husband was thrown against her, heard her last scream, "Oh, Daddy!" and witnessed her instant death.
It
The woman's head was horribly crushed under the wheels. Her husband's left lup was severely injured, being either dislocated or broken, and he suffered numerous painful bruises. The horse they were driving was not injured.
Watts brokenly told of the tragedy as he lay on a table in the offices of Drs. Wood and Waterman. After receiving their attention he was transferred to an apartment in the Norwood rooming house in the same building. He will be confined to his bed for some time.
Mrs. Watts was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Copple, of Pittsburg, Kan., where her home was. Several other relatives survive her there* They had no children, but he had a son, Otto Watts, by a former marriage, who is who is a clerk at the Lanke2shim hotel, Los Angeles, and another son and daughter in San Francisco.
Mr. and Mrs. Watts were to have been guests at a dinner party at the home of friends in Lomita tonight.

Forced to Leave Home.
Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble" writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., "when all else failed and I gained 47 pounds in weight. Its surely the King of all cough and lung and lung cures." Thousands owe their lives and health to it.

An inventive genius has gotten up a contrivance that ought to sell like hot cakes in church circles. It is in the shape of a contribution box, and certainly is a triumph in its way, says an exchange. The coins fall through slots of different sizes, and all dollars, halves, quarters, dimes fall on velvet, but the nickles and pennies fall on a Chinese gong. It is needless to say that it will never be popular with the man who believes "salvation is free" and practices it by never patronizing the contribution box.
