Just ut the same moment I no Pnelfio or Chica¬ 
go express train, which had left New York ut 8 
o'clock, was approaching at l he rate ol 30 miles

there was a terrible plunge into the water. 
Tito lea was thick, but the locomotive broke 
through it instantly, sinking into water 15 feet

gage and express ears, and one sleeping car. ’The
