RUSSIAN TRAINS CRASH.
United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. MOSCOW, January 7. Frozen signals are believed to have been the cause of the sleeping car expresses from Leningrad to Tiflis, and Leningrad to Moscow, crashing on the main line, 140 miles south of Leningrad. Both expresses were derailed. The Moscow train caught fire and many passengers were trapped. The death roil is unknown, but it is admitted that it is heavy. Both those who were injured and those who escaped injury suffered severely in the wintry night before the arrival of relief trains with doctors and nurses.
