The rear brakeman broke o. upper
windows of the rear car and helped

A newebOy, d. Carron, said That he
WAS Ia the rear car, and after the car
bumped along for few mo-
mems IL stood on It's end,
then he fell over stove and was pulled
out Of the window. The overturned
stoves set fire to the wreck but the fire
was exlinguished by the efforts OF the
brakeman who rescued the passengers.
The Long Brenoh express came along
nine minutes after the disaster but was
stopped by q danger signal.
A epeaial train was sent
out from Jerrey City, aud brought
bsck tho passengers. Those from
Philadelphia were ali more or less the
worse for the shaking up. Their
clothing begrimed with dirt and their
, faces covered with blnodstHins, be-
l tolSened the ordeal through which
they had passed, Several gentlemen
who were cut and bruised severely
refused their names for publiCR-
ton on account OF alarming
their friends The track was torn up
) for a considerable distance The
tender and cars were piled Up In "a
confused mass. The cause OF the Reci-
, dent cannot be RaCeTtsined, but II Ia
certain that the cars went of the track
some distance beyond the switch, thus
proving that the accident did not re-
suit from misplaced switch.
In the front car were twenty pas
sengers. All but two were removed
from Il In an unconscious condition.
They were carried into the waiting
room in the depot. Several physl-
J clans attended them. In lees than an
hour after the accident occurred all
the injured passengers had recovered
consciousness and were able TO walk
about. Eight OF Them only were
slightly injured, and declined 20 give
their names. They were placed ON =
special train and taken 10 New York,
TAKING THE wOUEDED HOME.
