Passongers Hurled to Doath With out a Moment's Warning. EIGHTEEN DEAD AND TEN DYING. The Trolley Car, Crowded to Overflowing, . Was Crashed Into by a Train on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad The Passengers Were a Merry Party Return lng From a Labor Day Picnic Bodies Terribly Mangled and Dismembered A Scene of Horror. Cohoes, N. V Sept. 0. An appalling disaster occurred In this city lust night. Shortly befoie 8 o'clock a trolley car of tho Troy City Uailroud cotnpiiny was struck by the night bout special of the Delaware und Hudson railroad, at a crowdnir at the west end of the Hudson river bridge, which connects this city with Lunslngliurg, nud Its load of human freight was hurled Into the air. Eighteen of the 35 passengers arc dead, and at least ten of tho remainder will die. The cars entering the city from Lan Bln'gburg were crowded with passen gers returning from a Labor Day plcnlo at Ilensselaer Park, a pleasure resort near Troy. Car No. 192, of tho Troy City railroad, was the victim of the disaster. It cams over tho biidge about 7:35 o'clock, laden with a merry party of people, fresh from the enjoyment of the day. The crossing where the accident oc curred Is at grade. Four tracks of tho Pelawaro und Hudson road, which runs north and south at this point, cross the two tracks of the trolley road, The tracks of the street line run at a grade from the bridge to the point where the disaster took place. In consequence of this fact and of the frequent passage of trains It has been the rule for each motor car conductor to stop his car and go forward to ob serve the railroad tracks and signal his car to proceed If no trains were In sight. It cannot be ascertained whether that rule was complied with ein this oc casion, for all events prior to' the crash are forgotten by those who were in volved. Tin- motor cat' wan xtruck directly In the center by the engine of the train, which was going at a high rate of speed. The accident came without the slightest warning. The car was upon the ti ticks before the train loomed in Bight, and no power on earth could have paved It. The motorman evidently saw the train approaching as he reached tho track and opened his throttle, but in vain. 'With a crash that was heard for blocks the engine crashed Into the lighter vehicle. This effect was hor rible. The motor car parted in two, both sections being hurled Into the air In splinters. The mass of humanity, for the car was crowded to overflow ing, was torn and mangled. Those In the front of the car met with tho worst fato. The force of the collision was there experienced to the greatest degree, and every human being In that section of the car was killed. The scene was jiorrible. Bodies had been hulled Into the air and their head less and limbless trunks were found In some cases 50 feet from the crossing. The pilot of the engine was smashed, and amid Its wreckage were the maim ed corpses of two women, The passen gers of the train suffered no Injury In addition to a violent shock. The ma jority of the passengers of the trolley car wero young people. They Included many women. After the accident the bloody corpses were placed in boxes and taken to a neighboring mill shed. Many of them were unrecognizable. The crash was frightful In Its results. Headless wo men with gu,y summer dresses bathed In their own and the blood of others; limbs without trunks or any means of Identifying to whom they belonged; women's and men's heads with crushed and distorted features; bodies crushed and flattened; these sights constituted a spectacle most horrible to behold. The train of the Delaware and Hud son road Immediately after the acci dent proceeded to Troy. The engineer stated that he did npt spe uie par until he was upon it. He tried to prevent his train from striking the car, but his efforts wero fruitless, Ills train was going at a very high rato of speed at the time, In consequence of the cau tion taken by the trolley road to as certain If the tracks were clear at this crossing, the engineers of trains have always felt safe In running at a high rate of speed, Tho engineer thinks that the motorman, when he saw tho tram was upon him, tried to get beyoaid the danger line. The grade of this cross ing and the sneed at which his car was going also made It Impossible for him to stop before he reached the Del aware and Hudson tracks, It was the front end of Ills par that caught the crash, and the motorman was killed outright, The following dead bodies have been Identified thus far: Archies Campeaux, of Cohoes; James Temple, I.anslng burg! Kdward Barney, Cohoes; Mrs. John Craven, Cohoes; Miss Kittle Cra ven, Cohoes; Joseph Senz, Cohoes; Nel lie Sweet, 15 years, Cohoes; Mrs. Eliza McElroy, Cohoes; Mrs. John W. Sut- cllffe, Cohoes, Among the Injured are: Isaac Shaw, Cohoes, skull fractured; Ccorgo Ankers, Cohoes, Injured internally; John W. Suteltffe, CohoeB, head cut and ribs broken; Mrs. Llzenesse, Cohoes, col lar bone fractured and several ribs broken; she had a baby In her arms, which was crushed and will die; Emma Devashlre, Cohoes, skull fractured; Mrs. James Temple, Lanslngburg, Jaw fractured and Injured Internally; Mrs, Ira Dewey, Cohoes, head crushed.

Seven Died During the Month of August From Want of Medical Attendance. One Thus Far This Month. The Parents Make Pleas of Poverty. Thu Board of Health has before it a vexa tious problem which, for tho sake of hu manity, needs a solution, and that at an early day, as the lives of many children in th town aro being sacrificed. The subject is brought up by the following return rnado by a physician to the olllco ol tho Board of Health to-day : 'Francisco Yakowitz, aged three years; sull'erlng of diphtheritic croup; residence, 4IU wet Huckleberry alley." Appended to tho return was a note that women and children aro visiting the house and some of tho children arc of school age. A verbal report was also made that another child of tho saruo family has died from cholera infantum, and apparently without medical attendance. Tho Board of Health has full power to pro vent poople from visiting houses where con tagious diseases oxist, and it has always en forced it, us it will no doubt do in tho case referred to. This is not the point upon which the problem hiugos. It is the neglect to give sulleririg children pioper medical attoudauce, and this is not tho only caso in which it ha3 occurred. Quito to tho contrary, thoie wero repotted to tho Board of Health during tho mouth of August no loss thau seven cases of a similar character. It is not charged that they arise from willful neglect of parents, although it h well known that among somo of tho foreign classes which help make up this community, there seems to be disposition to delay tho calling in of a physician until almost the last stage, aud in nine cases out of ten the call for rolief is late. It is known that in at loast half the cases in which children have died recently from want of medical attendance the parents have been handicapped by poverty. There is no physi cian iu the town who would refuse to answer a call to the bedside of a child whose lifo de pended upon his attention, but it almost in variably occurs that the physiciaus are not called upon, as already stated, until tho dis eases reach the critical stago, becauso tho par ents try to handlo the case themselves with out incurring au expense which they do not feel able to meet. Tho position of tho Board of Health is this : There is little, if anything to bo gained by prosecuting tho parents for failure to summon medical aid at the proper time, aside from the fact that it would be most difficult to prove that tho neglect was willful. There fore, the next best stop, and tho ouo most iu keeping with the principles of humanity, is to nrovide a fund whereby medical attendance can bo given in such cases as those referred to. The couuty physician cannot be appealed to be cause he is renuircd to caro only for thoso who aro drawing county reliof, and that keeps him busy. The Board of Health can not disburse money for tho purpose, becauso it has no appropriation to draw upon for such au oxperiso, and the Borough Council is iu tho samo position. Thero seems but one source of relief at hand at prcsont, and that seems to be the raising of a fund by public subscription. It could bo placed with the Board of Health to be disbursed by its officers and the Health Officer iu such cases as may bo found upon In vestigation to be worthy of reliof. Tho Board of Health is coustautly Iu touch with all cases of the kind arid would be iu a better position than privato organizations could at tain to determine when and where tho relief would bo neoded. ltcturncd From Klondike.
