The engine was in charge of Conductor Starr, who with his two brakemen, was riding on the pilot. As the engine left the rails. Con- ductor Starr, it is supposed, jumped and was caught under the engine, killing him instantly and mangling his body horribly. Brakeman J. H. Mudge received several severe scalp wounds, his left hand split open, and right leg very badly cut. If he has received no internal in- juries he may survive. The other brakeman escaped with a general shaking and was insen- sible for nearly an hour. The engineer, Mc- Ginnis, received a bad flesh wound extending across the forehead, several small cuts on the scalp and is badly bruised around the chest. His fireman escaped without a scratch as,; did a six year old boy who was on the engine at the time. ,
