einbankment a distance of fifteen feet,
together with three other coaches, all
laden with passengers. The coupling
broke, leaving The engine and one bag
gage car in safety on the track. The
painful scene which followed battles
description. A wall of anguish rent
the air as the passengers dragged them
selves from the debris of the wreck.
The four cars were smashed to pieces,
and many of the passengers were
pinned down in the most excruciating
positions. Mrs. Homer, OF Scranton,
and Mrs. Hickey, Of Tonawanda, were
killed, and seventeen others severely
injured, four of them fatally. Most OF

Assistance was rendered as promptly
as possible, and everything done to
assuase the pain OF the suffers.

ex plains fully the desire of the Depart
ment, and directed General Ord to
