Terminals Were Transferred The train that was wrecked was the one that left Pittston shlrtly after 6 o'clock last evening. Nothing unusual occurred until Stoney Point was reached. Then, without any warning, while the train was speeding along at a lively rale, the engine suddenly left the track, bounded across' the west bound track and plunged down the steep embankment to the Lehigh river, dragging the combination smoking and buggage car. also the day coach, with it. The last car of the train, the Pullman chair car. was partially pulled across I he two tracks, but did not go down the embankrrymt. After the deal President Underwood of the Erie made a thorough inspection r»f the property. He discovered that these terminals, valued at millions of dollars, had beeu turned over by the C., H. and D. to the Detroit, Toledo and Iroutou company, apparently without consideration. To make the property worth anything to the Erie these terminals would have to be purchased from the Detroit, Toledo and Iroujon company, of which Zimmerman Is the president. Now York.

Terminals Were Transferred The train that was wrecked was the one that left Pittston shlrtly after 6 o'clock last evening. Nothing unusual occurred until Stoney Point was reached. Then, without any warning, while the train was speeding along at a lively rale, the engine suddenly left the track, bounded across' the west bound track and plunged down the steep embankment to the Lehigh river, dragging the combination smoking and buggage car. also the day coach, with it. The last car of the train, the Pullman chair car. was partially pulled across I he two tracks, but did not go down the embankrrymt.

He discovered that these terminals, valued at millions of dollars, had beeu turned over by the C., H. and D. to the Detroit, Toledo and Iroutou company, apparently without consideration. To make the property worth anything to the Erie these terminals would have to be purchased from the Detroit, Toledo and Iroujon company, of which Zimmerman Is the president. Now York.
