In the mean time, Conductor Murray
had sent c~ouriers forward to this place for
assistance. Our people, TO their ever
lasting credit be It said, turned out en-
maSSe TO the assistance Of the unfortunate
passengers. Every available team and
sleigh in the city vas promptly brought
out, and loaded with blankets and other
needed articles, started Jax the wreck.
Upwards OF City sleighs were thus sent
down after the survivors, while hundreds
Of our ~citizAns plodded their way tbilher
on foot, needless OF the storm and cold, to
render such assistance as might be in their
power. Thus by night the passengers,
with the exception OF n very few whose
injuries forbade their removal, were bro't
to gainesville. Here the hospitality OF
The citizens was freely shown. Every
house was thrown open, and no efforts
were spared to make the passengers as
comfortable as possible.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to
Superintendent Nottingham, of The Clcve-
land, p. & A. Railroad. As soon as lie
received notification of the accident, which
was sent 10 him at Cleveland by telegraph,
he started with TWO powerful engines for
the scene. No trains had been ruc from
Cleveland since the previous evening,
and the road was completely blockaded
yet he forced his way through, though
rising three hours and a half in accom-.
plishing the feat, in which he was assist.
ed by a large gang Of workmen whom he
brough! with him, and arrived at the
wreck early in the afternoon. After &C.
complIshing all that was possible there,
he hurried to gainesville 10 look after the
comfort Of the passengers. Every ar
rangement in bis power was here made
Tor their care during their forced stay in
cur midst. Hotel keepers were instructed
TO provide the best accommodations for
them at The c%ompany's expense.
In giving praise, it is proper, too, that
the Physicians Of Painesville should be
mentioned. The fraternity is usually hon
orabIc for its humanity. On this occasion
the entire staff Of The village were prompt.
