Herrington, John -

Wreck On The Burlington.
A very sad accident happened at 5:55 the evening of  Thursday, July 11, when a work train   engine  No. 59, was backing into Clarinda after being engaged iu the work of filling the Crout trestle between this city and New Market.   The  engine left the track while nearing the east approach of the bridge that crosses  the South Waubonsie Trail west of East River, killing John Herrington, the engineer and  firemen   Charley Simmons of Centerville, the latter being scalded to death. Their remains were brought to Clarinda to C H Gates' undertaking parlors, where they were prepared for shipment the next noon to their home at Centerville. The officials of the Centerville division, C. B. &. Ry. Co., called on the wrecking crew from the Creston division to pick up the wreckage, and  by   the next night the only thing visible of the wreck was the large dents in the road made by the drive-wheels   of the engine. More men would   have   without a doubt been more or less injured had not the freight train from the east came along and picked up Charley Cavender's bridge gang, as they intended to come home on the fatal train.
