Graphic DLcription OF the Scene
The following is from a special to th'
Cleveland Leader:
The haggard dawn which drove dark
ness out OF this valley Of death seldom
saw a ghastlier sight than was revealed
with the coming of this morning. Or
either side Of the ravIne frowned the
dark and bare arches from which tht
treacherous timbers had fallen, while a
their base the great heap OF ruins GOV
cred the hundred men, women anc
children, who had so suddenly
been called to their death. Th'
three charred bodies lay wher'
,hey had been placed in the
hurry and confusion of the night; pie
of iron Law on the thick ice, or Wa
EMBEDDED in the shallow wster OF the
stream. The fires shoulder in grea
heaps where many of the hspless victim
bst been consumed, while men went
about in the wild excitement seekln
some trace of q lost one among to-
wounded or dead. The list OF the ssVeC
and wounded having been already sen
the sad task yet remains OF d!scoverini
who NAV be among the dead. Tne Is!
ter task will be the most difficult OF al
Tne continued absence Of here and TIER
a friend will allow of but one expian q
ton. thst be wss among those who tool
the fatal leap.
Authe witnesses so far agree a. 70 IN
main facts of the accident. Il was seou
eigh, o'clock ard the train was movihI
along at q moderate rate of speed N
Ashisbula station being just this eide Q
/ The train, and, suddenly, without warn
| ing, the train plunged into the abyss, u
forward locomotive alone getting scros
| in safety. Almost instantly the lamp
and stoves set FIRE to the cars, and man
who were doubtless only stunned an
