A flagman was sent back, but he was run over by the engine of the fourth gection, which crashed into the loaded passenger car ahead with frightful velocity. A mighty shriek ascended the chilly atmosphere, and then the noise of es- caping sleam and agonizing groans followed. An awful butchery of human beings had been completed, As quick as possible the railroad officials summoned help. Twenty doe- tors came on a special train from Mauch Chunk and ten others from White Raven. Immediately after the locomotive dashed into the cars some one cried out the boiler was going to burst. A panic ensued. At once the pas- songers, who were not injured, fled for thelr lives, leaving the wounded to take care of themselves. One brakeman, however, was equal to the emergency, and, rushing into the lo- comotive, drew the fire, thereby avoid- ing all danger from an explosion. The passengers then went to work awful spectacle was presented In the two wrecked cars, that had not been killed outright were wedged in between seats and broken timbers; their cries were heart- rending, One man asked that he be killed. of Providence, was caught in a jelly.

Some of them were mangled beyond regognition, C. C. Baland, Scranton, an eye-witness to the whole was sitting in the third car on the rear end of the train that was struck, I was thrown from my feet and against the ceiling. For the time being I was unconscious and when I got back to my senses I found myself wedged among a lot of other passengers, None badly hurt. I knew from the agoniz- ing cries of the passengers in the two rear cars that an awful accident bad occured. I at once went to work to relieve the Injured. Miss Connolly of Providence, died in my arms, It took a number of men to get her out. They worked three hours before they suc- ceeded. Father Milley, who was a passenger, administered the last rites of the religion to the dying. ried from spot to spot where he found cars caught fire, and more than 15 passengers were burned to a crisp. Fires were built along the railroad to was an aged father, who held his son with a death-like grip, despite the fact that the flesh was all burned from the was bone.
