KEEP V. INDIANAPOLIS & ST. LOUIS E. 00. 627 �Indianapolis & St. Louis, consisting of one baggage car, two passen- ger coaches, and a sleeping car, pulled across the track of the Ohio & Mississippi about 10 or 15 feet, and then stopped. At the time this -was done a gravel train was standing on the track of the Ohio & Mississippi, waiting to coma over the crossing.. The engine of this gravel train was on the west end of it, and when the passenger train of the Indianapolis & St. Louis had cleared the crossing the watch- manstationed there gave the signal to the gravel train to start. Accordingly that train was put in motion and began approaohing the crossing, which was about 150 feet from its first gravel car. �As soon as the passenger train stopped, the Indianapolis & St. Louis engine that had been hauling it was eut off and moved away to the round-house ; then the engine of the Union Eailway & Transit Company backed up from a switch and attempted to couple on to this passenger train. In doing so it pushed the train backward, se that the rear end of the sleeper in which plaintifif was riding was over the crossing down which the gravel train of the Ohio & Missis- sippi was moving, and a collision ensued, the sleeping car was thrown over and wrecked, and the plaintiff, who was riding in it as a passen- ger, received the injuries sued for. At the time of the accident the train had not reached the Eelay depot in East St. Louis, where its passengers are discharged for that station. �L. B.
