A NOBLE WOMAN.

One of TIE most useful and disinterst-
edly active persons in attending to the
wounded was a lady of this city, whose
name We were unable TO obtain. The
lirst unfortunate who was taken from
amongst the ruins received her immediate
attention and the tenderest care from her
hands With tender fingers she washed
Likelihood from the pain-racked features OF
the muulated victims. Her gentle words
rave comfort 10 them, and her sympathlz-
iug glance. as she endeavored to ease
their sutferings, brought cheer 10 many an
injured unfortunate. No task was too
treat for her noble energies No demand
upon her talents, her womanly sympa-
thies. her great humanity, was denied.
She did her duty, andm than her duty,
aud shamed many a man by her energetic
cpdcavors to alleviate the sutferings OF heI
Kind. Too much praise cannot be awarded
lea. Slch women conquer the prejudiceS
with which the world views its kindred
such women are heroines, and were
there more such women there would b'
fewer vile men; their influence and eX
ample would excite the ''steIncr sex L
10 and to dare for pure Charitys sake
md sclfishness would soon die of shame

STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER

was seated in the second car-that is,
the next one TO the smoking Car-On the
Western Pacific Railroad when the terri
he collision occurred; was seated on the
left side. AT the time of the collision no
warning was given, either by whistle or
otherwise the first intimation we had was
a sudden shock, and then all the train
seemed to he receding with the velocity of
lightning. The smoking car, in front of
ours, was driven directly through the one
| was seated in, its side running parallel
with our right We were all forced back
to the rear end of the car with the speed
of lightning. Two men on the right
hand side, one on the left-hand side, and
three before me were killed outright. In
the rear of the car we were packed to-
gether in a confused mass of wounded,
dead, seats, wood, iron, and about every
thing of which q car is composed. Two
iron1pars held Ipe firmly by the left foot,
hut it remainedtninjured, while my right
foot was iammed and rendered powerless.

of the second car some forty minutes
after the occurrence before we were taken

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

@ The mail and baggage cars of the West
ern Pacific train were not much injured,
but the smoking and the passenger car
Immediately behind presented a wonderful
and horrible spectacle. These cars are
about forty-eight feet in length. The
smoking car was completely ''telescOped'
into the passenger car. AS the two ends
% these cars were brought together by
violent shock, the hind end of the smoking
car entered the front end of the passenger
car and slid into it the entire length except
about six feet By this operation the sides
of the passenger car were forced against
and the top was forced upwards As the
one car was thus forced into the other, all
the passengers in the passenger car, to
gether with the seats of the car, were in
stantly swept TO the hind end of the car,
and compressed into a space of six or sew
Tn feet There was, of course, not mo-
nlant' s time for precaution or self-preser-
ton. The space of six feet was found 10
be filled with dead and wounded human
beings, crammed together in CORY mass
The passengers in the smoking car escaped
in comparative safety. The hindmost
passenger car and the sleeping car sus-
tanned but little injury, and their occu-
pants, therefore, sustained hut little dam

scENE or THE CArAsTRoPHE.

When the passengers who had escaped
, injury emerged from the cars their ears
we're at once saluted with the means of
the dying and the piteous appeals of the
wounded Some, when they attempted
to render assistance, tainted at the sight
of the torn and mangled, and were for a
time unable to extend any aid. Others
seemed bewildered or affrighted, and
were therefore inefficient, while others
were so entirely indifferent TO all save
themselves, that they took their carpet
sacks and walked away as rapidly as pos
sible. While this work was going on
many heartrending incidents occurred.
One mar who was horribly mutilated
begged bystander to shoot him TO put
him out of his misery. In about three
minutes afterwards he expired without the
interposition of the bullet. A dead man
and a wounded one were wedged in be-
tween the timbers in such way that
the wounded one could not be removed
for some time. He begged bystander to
cut off the leg of the dead man in order
that he might be extricated. The OPP era
ton was performed with an axe

THE ALAMEDA HORROR.
Particulars of the Disaster on the
Western Pacific Railroad.

From the San Francisco papers of No
vember Is we condense a more complete
account of the Alameda railroad disaster
than has reached US by telegraph:
Y The switch-tender was a new man APP
pointed three or four days ago. 1t APP
pears that lac went to his breakfast a short
time before the accident occurred, and
while there locomotive with a train of
gravel cars passed. Without looking out
TO satisfy himself, he presumed this TO be
the passenger train from Haywood, and
reporting it as suchto the engineer, he pre-
1ipitated the two trains to speedy destruc-
ton and many Of their passengers TO I'M
timely and terrible death.
