In a collision on the Western Md. Railway at Gormania, 60 miles south of here, this morning , when a passenger train from Cumberland to Elkins ran into a freight train, David H. Stewart, aged 45 years old, of Ridgeley, W. Va., conductor of the freight train, was fatally injured.  He died upon reaching the Western Md. Hospital here.
The injured are:
J. W. Troxell, this city, brakeman, on the freight train, head cut.
H. J. Ghour, Ridgeley, fireman on the passenger train, wrist sprained.
The freight train, south bound, was standing on the main track awaiting the arrival of another crew, as the crew of the train had been on  duty 16 hours. It is said the operator forgot to notify the passenger train of the location of the freight train, which had been held back by a derailment.
Stewart and Troxell were asleep in the caboose, which was badly mashed.  Four cars ahead of it were buckled.
The passenger engine was not much damaged and later pulled the train through to Elkins.  The passengers were shaken, but none was injured.
Stewart is survived by his wife and three children, the oldest being 5 years old.
