TRAIN WRECKED,

One Woman Killed and a Number of People Badly Injured.

CORTLAND, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Train No. 4, the southbound vestibule on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, was wrecked at Blodgett's Mills at 10:15 o'clock yesterday. The train consisted of an express car, a combination baggage and smoking car, a day coach and a Pullman parlor car. The train, which does not stop at Blodgett's Mills, was passing at the rate of 45 miles an hour on a straight track. When about 500 feet north of the station the rear truck of the day coach, in some unexplained manner, became detached and left the rail. This truck knocked all of the trucks from under the parlor car, which, after being dragged a few rods, was turned on its side in a four-foot ditch. The rest of the train was dragged 450 feet further and thrown against the ice house of the milk station, after which it struck the passenger station, knocking it from its foundation. When the engineer finally succeeded in stopping the train it was found that Mrs. J. H. McQuillan of Overbrook, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, had been killed and a number of others injured. Messengers were sent to Cortland for physicians, who went to the scene of the wreck by special train. The following is a list of the injured: Mrs. H. S. Carter, New York; John Carter, her son; Mrs. R. F. Downing, New York; Rev. J. J. Higgins, Binghamton; A. D. Wallace, Cortland; Miss Mande Graham, Cortland; Mrs. H. A. Connell, Scranton, Pa.; Louis and Helen Connell, Scranton, Pa.: daughters of Mrs. Connell; Mrs. J. J. Rogers, Wilkesbarre, Pa.; Miss M. Spellman, Oswego; A. H. Schwarz, superintendent of the Syracuse and Binghamton division of the Lackawanna railroad; Violet Heiman, Philadelphia; Leman Nell, Philadelphia; H. R. Hemerle, porter Pullman car. None of those injured will die. The body of Mrs. McQuillan was brought to Cortland temporarily, as were some of the injured. Others of the injured, who were able, proceeded on their journey on later trains.
