CURED. l was thrown completely to the
rear Of the car, amid pile of seats, and
all the persons who were in the same car
with myself. The smoking was shot into
our car so far as to confnc all killed aud
wounded in small space in the rear.
Judge Baldwin, who was killed. was in
the water-closct, at the rear end of the car.
found myself after the collision, on top of
n pile of dead and wounded. | cannot
tell exactly how many there were in the
car, but should judge about 30. There
were no ladies in the car with us. 1t was
nearly an hour after the accident before
assistance was procured. The rear end of
the car was torn out, with the aid of ropes.
Two Cinnamon adopted the best plan by
opening the front of the car, removing de-
bris, and gaining access that way. An
immense crowd of persons assembled at
the scene of the disaster, and the roads
leading thereto were filled with vehicles
conveying people to the spot. At least
5000 people visited the scene. There is
no doubt but that the engineer of the AL.
amcda train whistled down brakes, but the
signal was instantly followed by tie crash
