An accident to an excursion train near
Atlantic City N j.. resulted IN the killing 81
two persons and the serious injuring of some
thirty others.
The excursion train accident near At
lontic City turns out to have been a more seri-
GUS affair than first reports indicated. The
deaths already number fifteen at this writing,
and others are expected to die. The follow
ing description Of the scene at the
time of the collision is telegraphed from Attain
tic City: "Of the persons on the rear platform
of the first train some jumped to the ground
and then rushed panic-stricken back into the
cars. The locomotive came bounding on and
crashed into the rear car, still standing
upon the q bridge, sand with such force
that the, .engine fairly plowed q, furrow
half way into the car, and lifting the roof of
the car over the smoke-stack. The shock broke
one Of the cylinders Of the boiler, and in
stantly scalding, water was poured upon the
afTrghted and helpless occupants Of the car.
Rain had been pouring down, and all,
the windows of the car were down, and, the
steam filing it instantly, added to the horror
of the occasion and suff ering of the Victims
From out Of the concealing vapor came the
shrieks of women, walls Of children, and yells
Of men. The people on the first train ran pel-
nell from the cars or jumped through the win
dows, and it was some time before they became
sufficiently composed to make earnest efforts
to rescue the injured and relieve their suffer
ings. h44 E.yfst, .,.y.B ..sl If..,
