TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Tive Cars with Their Loads OF Human BE.
fngs Overturned and Dragged Along the
Track OF the Louisville q Nashville Air
Line Road Near St. Louis-Upwards OF
Sixty Persons Seriously Injured, Some
Probably Fatally.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Oct. q.
The morning through train on the Air
Line from Louisville to this city, met with
a serious accident. The train had passed
Belleville, and was within five or six miles
of East st. Louis, when . broken rail on
the track threw the two last coaches, that
is the passenger coach and the sleeper.
Louisville, from the track. The train was
running at the rate Of thirty-ive miles an
hour, and the two coaches were upset and
dragged some distance on the ground, when
the coupling parted and they were de-
tached from the forward part of the train.
Both coaches were full Of passengers, and
the scenes presented immediately at
ter the accident were terrible in
the extreme. The passengers were
thrown violently forward and to thu
side of the coaches, and were massed in a
confused heap of mangled, bruised and
bleeding men, women and children. The
interior fixtures of the, coaches were broken
and torn to pieces by the violence of the
fall and served only to wound the unfor-
tunate people in the cars. The toward part
of the tri,iiwas backed to the spot as soon
as the accident was discovered, and the
work of extricating the wounded swas
promptly and efficiently undertaken by tho
railroad employees and the uninjured passen-
gers. Scarcely an occupant of either one OF
the coaches escaped without cuts
AMI bruises, but the number Of fa-
tnlitics was so small as to be al
most miraculous. The cars were literally
covered with blood, which was flowing pro-
fusely from cuts, and it was at first thought
that the loss of life was very great. So far
as learned, only. one person, a. gentleman
from Providence named Anthony, was. ia
tally injured. His skull waS crashed and
cut so badly as to make his recovery almost
impossible. The wounded were brought at
ones. to this city and medical aid was sum-
n,oned. A brakeman had his leg broken,
several passengers were injured internally
terrible manner. y, i.,s...F. s.,.4 slsF
1t is impossible to ten the full extent Of
the fatalities at this writing, but report
states that there will he large number. At
least sixty people suffered injuries of vari-
uais kinds and more or less severe in the
wrccking of the coaches. One woman,
whose name could not be learned, had her
scalp torn almost entirely. from her head.
Tho number of people with broken bones
and cuts makes up q record of heartrehd-
ing suffering. Fortunately most of the
children were taken from the debris with
only slight injuries. As one passenger re-
marked, it was simply wonderful that SO
many escaped immediate death.
