THE STORM.
1925 q. m.-The storm at Ashta.
bula has somewhat abated. and the
weather ia fast growing colder. 1t
seems that the falling train and
bridge smashed the ice in the creek,
and those not killed in the fall, or
burned up by the burning cars, were
held down by the wreck and
drowned before they could be ex-
tricated. Many, too, will be or
have been frozen. All the large
hearted citizens Of AshtabHla are
AT THE WRECK,
AID as many az can are working to
rescue those not already claimed by
death. while hundreds of strong
sfms and steady brains stand ready
to relieve those who become ex-
hausted with the toll. The work
goes on very slowly; many liken
the scene and difficulties in rescu-
ing the bruised and mangIed enes
TO the Angelo horror of q few years
ago.
AT THIS TINE
we are unable to learn the name of
little babe of Mrs. Bradley. 1t Is
known that there were a large
number of eastern people on the
Inflated train. II lie said seven
coaches were all well filled. The
express messenger for the Ameri
can Express Company is missing.
The local agent at Ashtabula fears
he is among the killed.
TIRE WORK OF RELIEF.
IL p. ma special train, with
physicians, nurses, and everything
for the comfort of the wounded,
left the Union Depot at 10 O'Clock.
The weather is still growing
colder At Ashtabula, and only four
bodies so far have been taken from
the debris. The night there ia
quite clear. and now that the snow
hAs almost stopped, makes it almost
like day.
THE LOSS OF LIFE.
Mary Frame. Rochester N. Y, is
fatally injured. 1t il estimated
that there were 175 passengers On
the Inflated train, and at least three

orfrozen. The train was drawn by
two engines. One engine remained
on the bridge; everything else
went down. The engineer and fire.
