Feb. 23.—Latest details from Mineral Point. near where the Pennsylvania's west bound IS-hour flyer Xo. 29 was wrecked about midnight, indicate that scarcely a person on the. wrecked train escaped injury in some form. It is believed that nearly half a dozen fatalities will result, possibly more, but the first report thttt ten persons had gone through the ice over the Conemaugh river in which the train plunged is now generally discredited. Tt is possible that this fate befell some of the passengers, but the general belief is that the missing left the scene of the disaster in the confusion and will be reported later.

The wreck had extinguished all lights and scarcely a person on the train, other than the members of the crew were awake at the time of the accident. The condition was almost Indescribable. and owing to the unsettled nature of th • immediate surrounding country there was no place to which flu- Injured emtio be- taken.
