Oneof the most serious freight wrecks
occuring for years on the fourth divi
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio road,
happened at half past five o’clock yes
terdey morning, about a mile and a half
east of Burton, Marshall county, at
Fry’s Flat, about thirty-live miles from
this city.
The fifth section of freight No. 92,
east bound, collided with the fourth
trains were tery/successful in getting
off their cars in'time to escape being
killed or maimed, but the engineers and
flremen of both engines were not so
successful, as an inspection of the list
of casualties at tbe head of this article i
will show. Brakem&n Addlesberger, of
| No. 93 was on tbe front of his traiu and
wa« caught in the wreck and killed, and
j Brakeman Mathews of No. 89, was
j bruised^ and scratched up in jumping,
but not seriously Injured. Conductor
| William Dean, of No. 72, and Brako
min George Deitz, of the same traiu,
! were practically unhurt, as was Conduc
tor Charles Kinney, of No. 89 and his
[force of brakemen aside from Mathews
and Pierce. Tbe car of horses attached
. to train No. 92 was the last car of the
! traiu, and was not wrecked, but the
j other loaded cars were terribly mashed
up.
As the telegraph wires were broken,
i it was some time before news of the
accident w as reported either to this city
or Grafton, but as soon as communica
tion could be established, a wrecking
. traiu was seut to the scene, and the
work of clearing the track was begun.
An impromptu telegraph office was
I hv the roadside, medical aid
was summoned from Cameron. Mouud'1
vllle and points east of the wreck, and
Father Bontiou, of Moundsvtlle, was
also sent for, and responded to the
call. At eight o’clock last night it was
reported in this city that the track
was about clear.
The causes of the accident are vari
ously stated. One version is that sec
tion four of train No. 92, east-bound,
did not display the proper signal, and
the last section of No. 89 supposed that
the fourth section of No. 92 was the
last and pulled out, only to discover the
mistake when the fifth section of No.
92 swung around the curve at the
scene of the accident. Another
rumor was that the proper signals were
[displayed at Floyd’s Station, but were
not seen by No. 89, while still another
rumor was that the signals were seen,
but were not uuderstood. Enquiry was
; made at the depot at this city, as to
which of these versious wa* the correct
; one, but the officials said they bad no
defiuite information, and could not
state which report was the right one,
or, Indeed, If any one of the three was
! right.
The bodies of Fisher and Addlesber
ger were brought this city yesterday
afternoon and taken to Altmeyer’s un
dertaking establishment, on tbe South
Side, where they were prepared for
burial. Both men were very well known
bero and their death was widely aud
deeply deplored. Fisher was a brother
of A. V. Fisher, the saloon keeper at
Twentieth and Main streets.
A fireman on the west-bound traiu
said to a Register reporter on the
scene: *‘It was about 5 o’clock, and we
were running on the down grade at
about twenty miles an hour. I heard a
noise and looking out of tho cab saw a
■ecuon oi *>o. ny, a wesi uounu eoai
and mixed train, and as both trains were
running at a high rate of speed, the
resulting crash was an awful one.
Sixteen cars were piled up on top of
each other aud upon the engines and
tenders, and two men were killed and
live wounded, one of them dangerously.
The others of the train crews had the
good luck to save themselves by jump
ing.
The track was torn up and blockaded
all during the day aud part of last
night, all trains for this city or running
through here to Pittsburg or via Bell-j
aire for the West having to be sent
around by way of Cumberland. Eveu
the telegraph wires were torn down, j
and it was with great difficulty that:
anything like a correct idea of the acci
dent could be obtained in this city,
where the most startling rumors as to
^be extent of the damage and loss of
life were in circulation during yester
day morning.
Both the dead men. and three of the
five wounded resided in this city or at
Benwood, the other wounded men be
ing residents of Grafton, and this fact
made the accident of unusual interest
here in this city.
The trains Involved in the wreck were
the fifth secslon of No. 92, east bound,
consisting of three loaded cars, one of
shoes, one of flour and one of horses,
and nine empties; and a section of Nj. 1
89. west Dound—a mixed train. At the
point whore the accident occurred,
there Is a curve around the base of a
hill, and the grade slopes both ways
to the poiut of the curve, making a
bad place for a collision, as
trains going in either direction, gener
ally shoot down the grade at moro than
the usual speed in order to gain mo
mentum for the ascent of the grade on
the other leg of the curve. This was
the situation with both the colliding
trains, yosterday morning, and the re
sult was that they came together with
frightful velocity, the Impact of the
engines wrecking both machines in a
very thorough manner, and piling up
the cars until the debris towered almost
as high as the top of the telegraph
poles. Neither engine completely
left the track, they crashing
together and jamming up almost Into!
the space usually occupied by one en
gine, while the tenders and cars ran in
together aud on top of the engines and
tenders, telescoping and piling on top
of each other, until the wreck was one
of the worst evor seen by fourth divis
ion railroaders. It was broad dayifght
when the accident occurred, and as the
two trains came toward each other
around the curve, the engineers and
firemen caught sight of what was cod
ing and, grasping the situation,*
steam was cut off, brakes thrown,
on in a twinkling, and the crews made!
a break for safety by jumping. The»
conductors and brakamea of ths two'
J
na*u irom a neaungui. JimKioeer cnas.
Davis reversed the engine and whistled.
Then caiue the crash. I was thrown
agaiust the back of the cab. I got up
aud jumped down. The cars and en
gines were piled up in a high mass.
Looking over the bank, I saw Engineer
Gehring kneeling oa the side of the
bank about twenty-five or thirty yards
from the track. I went to his assistance.
He was scalded all over, and his flesh
was red and soft and pealed off when
touched. Ho was not dead. We
carried him across Fish creek
to G. V. Voorhies’s house. The doctors
say that if he has not inhaled steam he
may live. When I returned to the wreck
I found Will Fisher lying along the
track. He was suffering terrible agony
and asked how badly he was hurt. In
three hours be was dead. Those most
severely wounded were not moved, but
the Injured men were taken to Voor
hies’ house. As you can see by the de
bris along the track, the loss must nec
essarily bo great.”
Another employe on the west-bound
train said:—
“The real cause of the accident was
this: At Kenwood, the fifth sec
tion of No. 92 pulled out ahead of the
fourth section. 1 saw it, and said to a
friend: 'There goes those feiiows
ahead of us. And they have no signals.
If there iau't an accident I'm mistaken.*
Pete Horn and Addlesberger were in
the cat with Engineer Quinn. When
the other train was seeu, Quinn said:
'Jump for your life, boys,’ and he
sprang through the cab window. Horn
was between the cab aud the engine,
and either jumped or was thrown off, 1
don’t know which. Addlesberger was
caught in the cab and killed. About
the only thiug he said before he died
was to Quinn, ’Jim, what have you
done?* Quinn at once started to get
Addlesberger oit of the wreck.”

INTERESTING DECISION RENDERED BT JUDGE
DRIGGS YESTERDAY
In the Case of Charles S. Smith. Et Al., vi the
New Street Car Company—Effect
of the Decision.
The long-looked for decision of Judge
Driggs, in the street railway cases
across the river, was given yesterday.
The result Is a victory for the new
company, as it places their franchise
beyond question.
TLe case was that of Cbas. D. Smith,
of Bridgeport, amd others, against the
new street car company, testing tho
legality of the new company’s fran
chise. The case was argued two
weeks ago, and great interest was
manifested in the Judge’s decision.
Bridgeport citizens are greatly in favor
of tho new company and lt9 proposed
street car lino, and when tho word came
that the new company had been suc
cessful, they were greatly elated. It
took Judge Driggs nearly two hours to
deliver his decision in the case.
In tho hearing the plaintiffs brought
fully twelve points against the new
Company. Each of these points were
gained against the new Compauy, ex
cept a point raised by the plaintiff re
lating to the defendants not having
secured tho consent of property owners
along Sixth street. This street is above
the new steel bridge, about one hundred
and fifty feet long, and the consent of
property owners there was not asked,
as the new Company did not have it for
the use of their tracks. The judge de
clared in his rendering of this point,
that the new Company’s franchise was
null aud void ouly as far as Sixth
street alone is concerned. At
the trial of the case, the new
Company conceded the point that they
had not got the franchise of property
owners on Sixth street, as they did not
need the thoroughfare. It is claimed
by the Compauy that they have a more
preferable route, but it is stated by per
sons who ought to know that they can
condemn private property running
parallel with Sixth street if the new
Compauy wants to take the route. The
three strongest points made agaiust the
new Compauy were: 1. That they had
not advertised properly, so as to give
owjerb a ciiaiiue tu aocuio c^uai
2. A change of the franchise in ..Etna
ville. In this place the new Company
changed the lay of their road from First
to Third street. This move of the
Company was sanctioned by Bridgeport
Council, and the third point was that
the proper consent of property owners
along the line had not been secured.
Each one of these points was gained
by the new Company.
These decisions, so eagerly looked for,
were probably the most important ever
argued in the State of Ohio, a9the legal
battle was a great one, prominent attor
neys being Interested, and there being
over 9300,000 involved.- The number of
points developed was another feature,
as points came up for discussion, which
were never known before to be ad
vanced in the statement of street rail
way cases. The Judge’s rendering
of the decisions was said, by those
who know to have been Im
partially given, and every point*
weighed in a flue manner. The plain
tiffs attorneys were: Lawyers, War
riugtou, of Cincinnati; Erskine and
Allisou, both of Wheeling; Duncan,
of Martin’s Ferry, and Danford, of St.
Clairsville. The new company bad at
torneys Col. Sauderson, of Youngstown,
Kennou, of St. Clairsville, and Heinlein
and Alexander, of Bridgeport.
It is reliably stated tbat If Mr.
Jolly aud his street car line gets to
Wheeling, the road will traverse a por
tion of the city not now occupied In
rapid transit. The supposition Is that
a portion of the new route will be East
Wheeling. The committee appointed
by the Chamber of Commerce with
reference to thfe new company is still
energetically at work, and will bo able
to report to the Chamber soon.
Meanwhile the new company Is show
ing great activity in the laying of their
tracks across the river. Though one
hundred men were thrown off work, by
reason of supply of rails being used, a
few days ago, a large shipment of rail9
aro on the way, and will be on hand
early this week, when an additional
force will be put ou to make up lost
time. Hillock Bros, aro making re
markable progress on the company's
new power house. Already the walls
are being built.
The company will begin the extension
of their tracks out to the Wheeling
rrfipk mines verv soon. Already the
tracks are laid out the National pike to
withiug oue mile of the mines.
HUNDRED,
The New end Pushing Town on the B. A O
A Chance For a Safe Investment.
In the days of Inflated boom town
talk, it does one good to run across a
sale of real estate which comes under
the head of au addition to a town that
has merit in it. Such may be truthfully
said of the lot sale at Hundred. Wetzel
county; on the ll. «fe O. road, only a few
miles from Wheeling- J. B. Hamilton
has laid his farm, at that place, 01T Into
lots and has already had one sale, at
which a number of lots were sold. So
much encouraged is Mr. Hamilton at
the result of the last sale that he has
arranged with Auctioneer J. C. Ilervey
for another sale on Thursday, June 22.
Some of the parties who bought at
the last sale have sold aeain, realizing a
handsome proiij. Sales have been made
at an advance all the way from S10 to
S100. This is making money very rap
idly. The most striking feature, how
ever, about the purchases at Hundred
is the fact that a majority of the pur
chasers are preparing to build. Al
ready a number of houses in course of
construction. Many of these buildings
are store-rooms, and in the next two or
three months several new stores will be
in full operation.
Among the Industries and business
places already In operation are a large*
woolen mill, employing 25 to 50 people
three large dry goods stores, two hotels
and a number of small shops. A
brick plant of large capacity, one of
the largest planing mills in tho county,
and a glass house of large production
are some of tho enterprises which will
be located at this growing town within
a very short time. Gas and oil are to
be found in this neighborhood. One
gas well is cow flowing and has a
pressure of 1,200 pounds, and it is
getting stronger each year.
Ail the advantages of Hundred to the
investor can not be recounted in as short
an article as this, but none of our read
ers will mako a mistake by going into
Hundred.
J. C. Hervey, of this city, is the auc
tioneer, and he will see to It that ail
bidders are treated fairly. HU work at
the last sale was highly satisfactory,
and will more than maintain his repu
tation at the coming sale. Do Dot for
get the day and the date, Thursday,
