Two persons were killed and seven teen others injured when the 9:40 train on the Pennsylvania railroad from Broad street station for Atlantic City sideswiped a local train, 'north bound, at Lucaston, a little station fifteen miles below Camden, N.

Eye-witnesses of the wreck say the express train had a narrow escape from an appalling accident. Its schedule calls for a speed of a mile a minute.
