Horror in England, Disasters on Lakes
Erie and Michigan, An Austrian
Catastrophy. :
An appalling railway accident occurred
near Thirsk, in Yorkshire, England, by
which 10 pe reons were killed and a large
number injured. The express train, which
leaves Edinburgh every evening forLondon.
was running at full speed as it approached
Thirsk, when ahead of it appeared a
heavily laden goods train. The. engineer
of the express train reversed his engine
and put on the brakes but the momentum of
the heavy express was too great and it dash-
ed into the goods train, making a most
terrible wreck, To add to the horror the
carriages caught fire and were destroyed.
The scene at the wreck was dreadful
Some of the bodies;taken out ;of the debris
had been burned beyond all semblance to
humanity. The clothing had been de-
stroyed, and in some cases the jewelry worn
was melted by the intense heat. This will
render the jdentification of the dead in
some cases extremely difficult, if not
altogether impossible.
The official report of the killed places the
number at 10. Many persons received
slight injuries and a severe shaking up.
The signal man who was charged with being
asleep at his post, has been suspended from
duty pending an iavestigation.
The engineer of the express train, him
self badly injured and held down by the
debris, implored the rescuers to save the
passengers and not mind him,
“There were reported to be a. number of
the nobility among the passengers of the
express train. © The marquis of Tweeddale,
‘and the marquis of Huutley, lord-in-wait:
ing to Queen Victoria, were aboard the
train, but escaped uninjured with the ex.
ception of a few bruises aud a broken
thumb for the marquis of Huntley. Cap-
tan Duncan McLeod of the Forty-ninth
Highlanders, is among the killed ;
The nccident is said to have been duetoa
dense fog which prevented the engineer of
the express train from seeing ahead for
any distance. The express wus crowded
with passengers returning from the high-
lands of Scotland, from Dundee and Kdin-
burgh.
