THE GRAND TRUNK ACCIDENT.
Death of One of the Viciims-H erOism of
the Sufferers.
NORWAY, Jan. 19th.-Mss Kate Williams,
who was injured in the railroad accident Sat-
urday, after passing Sunday in raving deli
rum, gradually sank away andsdied shortly ai-
ter two O'Clock, this morning. She was
held under the wreck about twenty minutes
before she could be relieved, during which
time the escaping steam from the broken wat
or gauge was literally cooking the flesh from
her body.
She quietly waitsd until the engineer could
pull his pinioned limbs from under their
weight and assist her, her face turned into the
snow to shield her lungs from the hot steam,
but not groau escaped her, only now and
then she asked "Please put little brandy in
my mouth" or please put little ice in my
mouth" Engineer Shaw worked coolly and
swiftly, though it seemed hours to anxious by
standers; his own hands in the boiling water
and steam, knowing that loss of time was loss
OF life.
The little sufferer was placed upon cushion
aud hurriedly borne to Paris, her home. Med
icAl aid was on the spot, when it was found DO
bones were broken, but the right side of the
body was fairly boiled, nails gone, and the
skin coming off in sheets. More than two
thirds of her whole person was scalded.
The engineer Mr.. Wm. Shaw, in his ankle
ty had forgotten himself until arrival home
when he gave out. Qaietly lying down, he
sent word to the surgeons, ATTEND to the
girls, then come and see me-" He is now i'm
proving, IS is also Miss Maggie Wilson, The
fireman, Mr.. Hodgman, escaped without in
jury.
How the accident happened may never be
known, but it was doubtless something about
the engine. Just before going upon the treate
work is a switch, and as the machine passed it
Mr.. Shaw was carefully watching his drivers
as Is his custom at such points. Just at this
mement, she gave warning of leaving the
track by attempting to "cimb the rail-" In a
second she was off, and knowing without a
full head of steam, everything must go into
the stream, the engineer pulled the throttle
wide open, and succeeded in showing across the
passenger car and tender, the engine jumping
the trestle Just before making land.
