The fire being scattered about the wreck, the
first excursion car soon caught, fire, and the
flames rapidly communieated to the two oth
ers piled upon it. The most.extraordinary ef
forts were. made to extricate the unfortunate
mutilated beings who were crushed amid the
wreck rending the air with their dying groans.
Many of these poor beings were still alive
when the flames reached them, and thus suf
