Train Wreck on Crowded Street.

Ada, O., Jan. 9—Three men dead and 14 or more persons injured, one fatally, is the result of a collision between two trains on the Pennsylvania system on the main street of this city at 5 o'clock last evening. The accident was one of the worst that ever occurred on this division of the Pennsylvania system, and was highly sensational in all its details, occurring as it did at a time when the thoroughfare was crowded with people. The crash was heard all over the city, and almost the entire population was soon on hand to render what assistance they could in caring for the wounded and dead, who were at once carried to the freight house and station and laid in the house on improvised cots.
