The accident is most unusual in railway circles and veter- ans cannot account for the strange occurrence, It was learned that the victims have all since shown steady improvement following visits by Drs, Scott and Robinson, Miss Violet Sherwin who was the most seriously injured spent a quiet night at her home and unless complications set in she will recover, The other victims are all doing well and some of them were able to go about their regular duties. Repair work on the station which was damaged by the coal and cinders commenced Saturday morning and will be completed in a day or so. The broken windows of the depot was the chief damage resulting from the blow-out. Mr. Hoag, Assistant Superintend- ent at Trenton, stated that Norman Kerr, of Belleville, one of the Chief Mechanical men on the road would likely investigate the possible cause. "The engine was inspected only this month and was declared to be in per- fect shape," said Mr. Hoag. He stated that in twenty-five years with the railway he had known of only two similar accidents. SIX ARE DEAD IN TRAIN WRECK (Continued from page 1) car. "We were all so happy until everyone was hurt," she added. She was on her way to visit a relative who lives just outside Toronto. Mrs. Mary Tauharvich was also on the car, with her two little girls. "The windows were splintered and broken, woodwork in the car was torn loose all about, while the wreck- ed car reeked from side to side," she said in broken English, "It was very terrible. Directly after the terrific shock the coach caught fire. It was with great dificulty that I extracted my two children from. underneath the wreckage. Fortunately they were not seriously hurt. "All about me lay bodies, The in- jured were groaning and screaming. Everything was covered with blood. We lost our luggage, money, cvery- thing we owned, except the clothes we were wearing." Sixteen passengers of the Canadian Pacific fler which met disaster near on collision with a freight train, lie in the Western Hospital here, two of them with very serious injuries. Most of the victims are newcomers to the Dominion, and they are not all identified nor are their homes all known to the authorities, Resting Easily (By Canadian Press) Smith's Falls, Nov. 28.--Rhynard Post and Lenn Bradford, Smith's Falls, and Charles Karmilski, To- ropto, three of the injured in the crash yesterday of the Montreal-To- ronto Canadian Pacific Railway ex- press into the side of a freight train at Dockrill, 66 miles west of here were reported to be resting easily at 8 local hospital today, Post, who was fireman on the express, had his right leg amputated above the knee last night. His condition was said to be favorable this morning, Enterprise, Ont., Nov. Four known dead, others believed to have perished in flames and beneath wreckage, apd around 30 injured, were the casualties which resulted at about 2:15 this after- noon at Dockrill, 12 miles east of Napanee, when an eastbound freight train over-ran its siding and crashed head-on with the erack C. P. R. Chicago flier, ap- proaching westbound at mile-a- minute speed. : The tragedy was the worst that has ever occurred in railway un- nals in this vyieinity. When 1iae two engines struck together they reared up like horses and then rolled down the seven-foot em- bankment. Four coaches of the passenger train were carried with them, and, to add to the horror. fire set in. There is little doubt but that some of the p re Smith's Falls yesterday, in a head | 28-- | Dockrill switch With the vision of both emgineers blocked by this curve, the engines met upon it and crashed head-on. The impact was tremendous Somre idea of the tremendous mo- mentum which the passenger train carried can be gathered from the fact that it had travel ed from Wilkinson, the last point at which it had reported, to Rob- linville, a distance of 17 miles, in 16 minutes. Significant light on the disaster was thrown by train officials who were amongst the survivors. It was explained that the engineer of the freight was running his train "in his own time," which is to say his own watch, and that no despatches were - responsible for t. Michael Hineh of Enterprise was an eye-witness of the occur- rence. He saw the two engines crash, an dhs descriptin s thattii crash, and his description is that they 'reared up like horses", and then the wreckage of them which remained rolled down the em- bankment. The froight engine was practically demolished. The scene following the wreck was one of unspeakable carnage. One woman, who was a victim was practically cut in two. Other pas- sengers were unconsclous with arms and legs severed. Still oth- ers who were less scriously hurt were writhing in agony with the pain of their injuries. The, outbreak of fire was hut the next chapter in the tragic oe- currence, Despite efforts that were made to fight it, because it was known that bodies were im- prisoned, it broke out in the mall car, the colonist car, and one coach, Railway officials at this point expressed no doubt but that lives had perished in the tlames, but how many cannot be told un- til the wreckage is cleared away, Ald was not long in arriving upon the scene. The flier had been traveling in two sections, and the second section had been remaining at Wilkinson. Word was immediately sent back, 'and the second engine with two coach- es and a train crew to the scene of the disaster, Meanwhile word spread rapidly through the district, Dg. Hor ton, of Enterprise, was in lie ately on the scene, rendoring first ald to the injured, and the local undertaker was also early on the scene caring for the bodies of the dead. During the afternoon par ties came ont from Napanee, Bel- leville and Trenton to render as- sistance; The passenger train of some 12 coaches, and only four were left on the rails, An inquest into the fatality {is being opened tomorrow at Enter- prise, came NEWCASTLE °° | Newcastle, Nov. 26.--Mr. and | Mrs. Harry Couch motored to To- ronto on Sunday and were gucsts of relatives and friends in that city.

The injured have been taken to the hospital at Smith's Falls, and the rs who were able to com tinue to travel, have been sent tc Toronto over the old line of the C. P. R. There were about 140 's on the train.
