** Late Saturday evening, October 9, 1880, a train accident occurred
on Twenty-eighth Street on the Pennsylvania Railroad. These two were
among the victims of that accident. **
 
 
from The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette dated Wednesday, October 13,
1880 (page 4):
 
Miss STEINBAUGH, who was badly scalded, is still living, but there is
only faint hope of her recovery.
 
from The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette dated Friday, October 15, 1880 (page 4):
 
Miss Mary STEINBAUGH, a passenger on (unreadable) a ill fated train,
died from the effects of the scalding steam at the West Penn Hospital
last evening. By her demise, the death roll has increased to thirty.
Miss STEINBAUGH was severely burned, and the wonder is that she lived
so long. This last victim of the awful disaster was a daughter of
policeman John STEINBAUGH and a cousin of Miss Rose McCABE, who died
on Monday last.

not find any further write-up.
