A WILD SCENE.
As there was nearly 1900 people from Phila-
delphia OF the excursion, the excitement amor G
those looking for friends at the wharf Rs the
wounded were brought over from Camden, was
intense. Some Uf the women had gone to the
seaside iii light summer costumes, which
-
aud the only difficulty was to see whele these
people are not burned. Some were carried
from the cars a mass of -four and cotton, under
which the human form was Rcarcely distin-
guishable, and but for
LOW MoANs
taey seemed dead. 1T o'clock this morning
ten ambulances were full. and as the number
of stretchers proved inadequate, several Of the
victims still remained in the cars.
Of the persons on the rear platform OF the fra.
train, some jumped to the ground and then
rushed panic stricken back into the cars. The
locomotive came bounding on, and crashed in
10 the rear end, still standing upon the bridge,
and with such forca that the engine fairly
plowed arow half way into the Gar and lifted
the roof of the cars over the smpkestack. The
shock broke one Of the cylinders of the boiler
and instantly boiling water was poured
out Upon the frightened and helpless oc-
oupants of the car. Rain had been pour
ing dnwp and all of the windows of the cars
were down, and the steam filling it instantly
added to the horrors of the occasion and the
suffering of the victims; from the outccming
vapor came the shrieks of women, the walls of
children and yelis of men. The people on
The first train ran pell NELL from the cars or
jumped through the windows. 1t was some
iime before they became sufficiently composed
10 make an effort to release the injured and
relieve the suffering. As there were nearly
1900 people from Philadelphia on the excur-
sion, the excitement among those looking for
friends at the wharf was intense.
