and and Peter Jennins, engineer, and W. P. Lamb, fireman of the Big Four flyer. So far it appears that a confusion in orders and the unusual amount of traffe over the H. and D.

on the Fourth of July, which was increased by the handling of the Big Four trains, owing to the accident at Gano on the Four the morning of the Fourth, led up to the frightful catas. trophe. Reviewing the day's testimony, Coroner Burnett said to-night: "So far the inquest 1 establishes the sending of the 'bust', message by Train Dispatcher Smith, of Dayton, to Operator Crider at Middletown and of the latter's delivery of the message to Conductor Weaver, of the freight, at 12:56 p. three minutes before the wreck. Dispatcher Smith realized he could not reach the Big Four flyer at Carlisle, and as there was no operator at Poasttown, his only chance to avert the accident was to get the freight-No.

90-at Middletown in the clear." The statement of Dispatcher Smith that he could not understand why Fright No. 90 got onto the main track and his conclusion that it had no right there is at variance with the statements of the crew of the freight and Conductor Weaver, who, in receiving the "bust" message to stay there for second No. (the Big Four), started to pull up the track to make the switch by backing into it, but did not have time by three minutes. The fact that the Big Four flyer was making up lost time and was going at least 50 miles an hour appears to have confused the orders of the train dispatcher, who could not tell where veliger Without Change Resort CHAD THROUGH PULLMAN SERVICE TO Traverse City Charlevoix Alden Bellaire Petoskey Bay View OPERATED VIA TOLEDO AND THE PERE ETTE Leave Cincinnati daily except Sunday at 1 1 1 1 p. m.
