THE SCENE At THE WRECK.

The train which went from Chicago returned
to tho city ut o'clock yesterday morning, bring
Ing tho two elooping-carn and tho coaches which
werouninjured. What WAS left behind was not
worth bringing. The engines wore demolished !;
the passenger engine WAS torn almost to frag-
ments. md tho freight engine was not in much
bettor condition. Tho debris was strown I'LL
around, splintors covering tho ground. Tho
passenger ongino, or rather what remained Of it,
lay outside tho track, to the oast tho remains Of
tho baggage~car pointing to tho wost, while tho
smoking-car ruins pointed to tho oass as 1t lay
over
TIE MuRDEn0UB BOILER.
Tho coal cars woro buddy used, many Of thom
being utterly destroyed. When tho cars woro
snaashed tho trucks ran up together, and thore
were ha1f-a-dozon pairs Of wheels standing as
close as they could on the track. The ruin was
hmoBt complete. In ono OF tho freight cars
Was o lot of railroad iron, which shot forward
when tho end Of tho car burst, covering tho top
Of tho tender and reaching over to tho smoking
car, piniontng somo Of the passengers. These
rails wezo visible yesterday. It Ia easy to
imagine what wrecked and ditohed cars arc, but
It is not easy to form m idea Of tho territlo
force OF tho concuBsion which oaused tho whole
calo ruin Visible yesterday.

Al The CQuNIY HOSPITAL.

It WAS about o'clock yesterday morning when
tho bodies OF the dead and wounded began to
arrive. Already the nows Of the accident haA]
sprcad around tho city, and the doora Of the
County Hospital on Arnold street, nenz
Eighteenth, were surrounded by crowd Of mon,
women, and children; como few impollod by a
vague horror Of finding near relative among
those inanimato or agonIzed burlena; moat ol
them attracted by that morbid doBiro to Bee and
hear evoEy horrible detail. They would not be
driven away. They clustered round tho gateway
and impedod tho bearers Of tho bodies, yielding
only to tho physical toroo Of policemen. Now q
wounded man, nov . doad ono, MAS carried in.
To hear the
onoANB OF TIL. BURNED AND aoA1pEp,
~ the motion reused them to d full senHo OF
their anguish, was enough to appal tho stoutost
henrt.
Eyory preparation had already been made for
the reception Of the wounded. It was expected
TINT about thirty would he aent to the hospital,
but this nsimber Was not reached during tho dny.
How uttorly dlsproportonod Ia that dirty build
lug to tho ncceasltioa Of tho city was neyor bo-
foro fully illustrated. Tho orowding neoessitatod
by tho addition Of oighteen pattenta-tl.at was
tho number for which room was nooded-was
painful. And to DR.. Strong, md others OF the
hospital sta, groat credit IL due for the syatona-
atio mannor In which the arrangements wore
made, md for tho disposition Of tho patients.
When tho last body had boon taken into the
hospital. It WIS found tlat iiyo wore co1pBoe,

that their trnnsfcr to tho Morgue was merely re-

Tho train started from Willow Station, accord
ing to tho hess evidence, ten minutes behind,
and, as It Is cuBtomaty On this road
to mako up lost timo, undoubtedly the
rate Of speed WAS somewhat aocelorated. The
conductor and ongineor knew they were to pass
q oonl train at Lemont, soven miles dlBtant, but
unhnppi1y that train did not wait, AZ It should
havo done, but oauo on toward tho passenger
train, expecting to make Willow Station. It was
\ raeo for life. The conductor and on
gtneor Of tho coal train know that tho
passenger train, laden with precious lives,
was In front, and II they did not reach switch
by certain time collision WAS inevitable.
Both trims were rushing towards destruction.
On they flow over tho iron way through tho
darkness, tho speed increasing at every
revolution Of tho wheels. The passengers
in the sleeping~cara woro preparing to
retire, or had already done 80. Those In tho
coaches wore looking forward to reaching their
destination, whcro expootant families awaited
thoir coming. The suspicion OF danger never
crossed the mindR Of any, when suddenly, With
out moment's warning, not even whistle, tho
two trains wore looked in IN embrace Of doath,
and In ono ter1iblo moment WlyoR were made
wtdoWs, children beoamo fathe11osH, mourning
WAS sent to tho threshold OF many happy homes,
And Borrow th8s can never be eradcated pierced
many hearts. ThoEe were three conouagona,-
first, when tho englnes mot and Wero do
ssroyod second, whom tho baggage CIR struck
and Was smashed into fragments and third,
whom tho Bmoking-car colllded and leaped In tho
air, alighting on the fractured boiler of tho
freight engine, The remains OF the passenger
train ongine woro thrown from tho track, toward
the cast. and so Wcro thu rfpa NJ TIM her.
