Five Merrymakers Dead.

Run Down at a Crossing as They Were Returning from a Basketball Game.

Spring Valley, N. Y., Feb.24.-A foam specked pair of horses that tore through the streets dragging between them a splintered wagonpole brought to the village the first news of a grade crossing accident in which eight members of its most prominent families were killed outright or frightfully injured. The runaways had been hired the night before to take a party of men and girls to a basketball game at Nyack. Returning in the early hours of the morning the wagonload of merrymakers was run down at a West Nyack crossing by an Ontario and Western train.
