There was prompt response te the

ntched trains from Camden and At

Ith axes and ladders. Many were
brought from May's Landing and Ham Ham Ham

irtims began in less than an hour
under the flaring light of torches, Ian
terns and automobile headlights.
On the relief train from Atlantic
l ity were Drs. Lipschutz, Slracex,
Heed and Ireland. Their coats were
peeled off for action when the train
pulled in and they weiit te the work
heroically.
Station hands and trainmen had al
ready extricated many of the survivors
nnd these received the immediate atten
tion of the physicians.
Weman, Five Children, Unscratched
Many of these found in the wreckage
were hysterical. Most of them urged
the rescuers te try and save their chil

In the fourth coach of the train,
which was piled high ever another
conch, were u woman and her five
children, one a babe in arms and the

Nene of the party was hurt by some

Babies clung te their mothers and the
women were hysterical. Atlantic City

"My Ged! I've sent Ne. 33 ever the wrong trackl I thought it

That was the wire received by the train dispatcher at the Reading
Terminal in Atlantic City from Jehn De Wald, tewerman at Winslow
Junction.
De Wald went en te explain he had mistaken the Atlantic City
flyer for the Cape May freight, both of which were due at the Junc

He switched the flyer en te the track of the Cape May division,
which takes a sharp curve there. That, combined with' the speed of
the train, sent it crashing ever the embankment. After receiving the
message the dispatcher in Atlantic City tried te get in touch with
De Wald, but with no response. He said he believed the tewerman had

"Before long the scene nbruptly

"In the flashes of light from auto

PHYSICIAN'S WIFE

Shortly after the noise of the col

by his wife, wns at the scene of the
wreck. Mrs. Cunningham, before her
marriage, was n trained nurse.
"It was terrible," she sold, "but I
have never seen such coolness nnd
courage n that displayed by every one
who took part in nclplng te straighten
out the tangle.
It was shortly before 1 o'clock tnnt

ued. "Dr. Cunningham, who was for

surgeon for the P. nnd It., nnswercd
the call. He told me there had been
a bad wreck.
"Of course, I was out of bed in n

sudden calls,

from our house nnd we certainly did
travel.
Toe Busy te Keep Count
"Once there. I really forget every

people who were In agony. We worked
right en the rend nnd, te tell the
truth, I de net knew or have any
Idea of the number of people I fixed up,
together with Dr. Cunningham. As for
him. he was everywhere.
"I remained there, doing what I
could, until all the injured had been
taken away nnd then enmc home, but
the doctor Is still there, trying te get
out these underneath the train.
"It seemed te me that all of Ham Ham Ham
monten responded te the cry for help.
Shortly after the wreck the whole town
was up and off for Winslow Junction.
Women made coffee and took it te the
scene. Everything worked just like n
machine. Every one seemed te knew
just what te de, nnd nfter n short time
there was little confusion.

wonderful. Their experience in France
came In fine. Many get down en their

and women beneath the cars. And these
boys knew hew te dress injuries, tee.
"The fortitude of these hurt wns also

WORK OF CLEARING
DEBRIS IS STARTED
Twe wrecking trains of locomotives
nnd cars bearing cranes nud ether
equipment, with n third trnin standing

them are a corps of officials and 200
workmen. It Is believed it will take
eighteen te twenty hours te clear away
the debris.
At 11 ocleck mere bodies were be
lieved te be in the wreck. Ten persons
nt last count are listed as missing or
unaccounted for among the eighty -nine
known passengers.
A score of railway police and detec
tives quickly formed a cordon about the
wreck, which is a dangerous spot be
cause of the heavy Reading trnffic en
the overhead right of wav. They were
ra-enferced by n dozen Stnte troopers.
About two hundied nnd fifty auto
mobiles were pnrked beside the read ad
joining and scores mere were nrriving
every hour from all parts of the com
pass. Hundreds nrrived en feet from
the surrounding countryside, crossing
the fields, sodden with last night's rain,

"One man handed me n bnby girl nnd

"Several of the men found their way

We could hear ethers groaning in the

, Saw Baby Die
"While I wns wnlking through the

them, en another seat, lay a little
baby. 'Hew is she new,' the mother
asked.
"Leaning ever the little fnce. all

looked Intently for a moment. Then
he resumed his sent and quietly took
his wife's hand. 'Edle Is dend,' he
said. The wife fainted.
"In one of the cars three men weru

from the thighs down. Ills legs were
broken in six plnces and he wns severe

cried. 'Get me out, my feet are in

it was his legs and net his feet thnt
were injured.
"Finally the beams were bent aside
and he was lifted out. The release of
the pressure caused him te bleed te
death.
