To add horror to the scene, the boiler Of the
dummy exploded and the steam and boiling
water scalded and carried death or terrible
injuries to the mangled aud bleeding men,
Fire broke out and completed the work Of

untold agonies, with limbs and bodies burnt
to Il crisp, implored those near them to pour
water upon their scalded limbs or put an
end to their sufferings. The first passenger
car was q terrible wreck. Several hours
elapsed before the poor fellows, buried be-
meath the debris, could be extrcsted.
One OF the victims, John Rowlett, died
shortly after his arrival at the hospital

cheerfully and asked to be allowed to walk

side. lie sail that the object Of the
trustees was to expend their funds economic

carefully considered that the trustees had
decided that they could not dispense with
