FORTY HURT IN WRECK ON PENNSYLVANIA
St. Louis Flier Derailed Near Dayton, O.
Dayton, O., Sept. 10. -- Train No. 51 [not
sure – transcriber note], known as the St. Louis
flier, on the Pennsylvania system, was derailed
near Richmond, Ind.
The accident occurred while the train was
running at a high rate of speed. Four cars were
overturned.
Immediately following the wreck there was no
telegraphic communication with Wylies station,
where the wreck occurred, but the Pennsylvania
railroad quickly sent a special train to the
scene in order that a wire service might be
established.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company was advised
that no passengers were injured seriously in the
wreck of the St. Louis flier at Wylies station,
Ind.
A sixty foot steel stand bridge was knocked
down, and it will take a day to make the
necessary repairs.
The observation car was the first to leave
the tracks.
Reports say that from thirty-five to forty
persons were injured. Physicians were hurried to
the scene.
