Two Killed in Wreck.

Fog caused a wreck on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, in which four passengers and two trainmen on the south-bound Chicago express were injured. The engineer was unable to see ahead or the 'flagman’s signal-and his engine and part of the coaches tore a way through a freight train that was crossing the track at Hartwell. While a wrecking train was on the way to the scene the chain of a crane broke, and, falling upon workmen, killed two and injured one other. The dead are Patrick McCoy, killed by falling chain oh wrecking train; Louis Tenbrink, struck by chain; died in hospital.
