(By Associated Press) I Antwerp. May 2l.--(?ne of the w irst railroad aeeidents In Kurftpe In recent times occurrtd at ContIch, a statiotij six miles soutbeaaf of thli city on tlnrj main line m s o'clock this morning. The exact number of victims had BOll been determined up to late tonight I owing to the difficulty of removing ? the bodies from the debris but the lat-i est estimate plaee.i the nitmlvr at sixty kilied and one hundred wounded Caused by Defective Switch. Tiie catastrophe appears to have been due to a defective switch when' ihe main line crosses a local line. At ibis point u train carrying a; Urge number of pilgrims on their way to the shrine ut Turnbotit. was stand? ing. Into this, tiie Ant wi rp-lirusael. express dashed at n speed of fl(ty miles an hour, literally leaping on top of It. Lighter Train Crushes. The heavy coaches of the expreas crushed ihe lighter train into gplln tfrs. The sides of the express cars were torn frem their fastenings, the floors ofcTapsing. thus precipitating the passengers to the side of the track uninjured, whence they fled, frenzied, serosa the fields. Wut for.Ulis fact the death rol\ would be mtich greater. Few of the occupants of the local train escaped alive. Those that were not killed were badly Injured, many cf them mortally. Rescuers Sickened by Sight. The rescuers, even thr doctors, were sickened at the sight that met their gaze. Evidences were found of hor? rible death struggles that occurred In the crashed coaches. In one place a dismembered hand was found clutching uik> of the sup ports of the train. A body was lying aeri ss the liollei of the locomotive crushed into a shapeless mass. The majority of the dead could not be ncognized. < ither being d"capitated or their heads being terribly crushed. The signalman nt Contieh says that his switch was not working just as the Antwerp express came thundering down tue line. He leaped from the window of bis signal station, and heroically ran down the track toward tin onccmlng train waving a red flag His effort, how? ever, was too late to avert a disaster. The enginei r and the fireman of thv expreaj train were killed at their posts. S. rial men Arrested. The judicial authcri'ies of Antwerp soon arrive.I on the sen ? and npent-d and investigation into the disaster.
