STATEMENT OF A SURVIVOR.
Mr.. Ellington, mining editor of the Com
| Daerciai World, says: Il was sitting on the
Car of the Harlem train, which is next to the
engine. AS we Deared the Eighty-sixth-s.ree
| station in the tunnel | noticed that some one
and saw train standing in front f us. Al.
most instantly the crash came. No red light
| could be seen on tho rear Of the train, There
was the most intense excitement among the
| passengers. Between the kissing Of the steam.
| tho screams of women aad the darkness, the
tunnel scene was frightful. / struck a match
and saw lady lying amlpg the debris. She
was taken out, and L found her left foot
| severed below the knee. Another gentleman
a,r5r,v 81, -.
! suppose about seven were badly IL iured, and
! from ten to fourteen were hurt but were able
TO leave for their homes. OGe OF the incom.
ing trains stopped, and the passengers were
| transferred to il and brought to thu Grand
! Central depot. Owing TO the total darkness
Ia the tunnel 1t was impossible for me to get
clear idea Of what did occur. The escaping
steam soon filed the tunnel, and this, with
the darkness, only added to the horror of the
scene. Shrieks and screams were heard from
| within the tunnel, and the space was so lin
tied that very little could be done in the con
fusion to aid the victims of the disaster"
| The engineer of the Harlem train has beer
| placed under arrest on a charge of criminal
carelessness, but an investigation will b;
| necessary TO prove whether he received tht
signal that the track which he supposed cleal
was occupied or not.
