all, many who could have saved them
selves as well as not had to be dragged
out of the cars, or they would have

of New York, Mrs. Bingham, of Chicago,
another lady, and myself. Ny escape
was most remarkable, my only injury be-
ing no more than a scratch upon my
wrist. Mrs. Graham was only slightly
injured. Mrs. Bingham had her left leg
and spine hurt, and the other lady, whose
name don't know, was also terribly
injured.

whole train was on fire; we heard the
sHRIEKs OF THE WOUNDED AND DYING,

men were brought in badly wounded,

Louis, most horribly. Nobody around
there could speak French, and we could
not learn his name. He moaned most
piteously all the while.
Our car, the Palatine, was better pre-
served after the fall than any of the rest.
The others were mass of splinters, iron,
pieces of glass, ETC., and fragments and |
sections of the bridge were all mixed in

If a publisher makes no statement of cir
culation, it is fair TO presume that il is from
irreiiaerefce neglect, neither of which on
his partwill excuse the publishers OF the Di-
rectory for imperfections in their book.
For all such cases the editor of the Directory
has instructions to estimate the circulation
from the best information open to him.
The Directory estimates the circulation of
no newspaper until after an application has
been made to its publisher for the actual
figures, and sufficient time allowed to elapse
for the statement to come to hand had any
such been forwarded.
