THE SCENE BY DAYLIGHT.
GREENFIELD, April Sth.-As viewed by
daylight. the scene is far worse than re-
ported last night. 1t is considered marvel
Gus that any one escaped alive. The de-
scent is 100 feet by actual measurem emit.
Crowds of people lowered about the preci-
pice to-day, and hundreds descended to the
river by means of strong cables, which the
wrecking crew had stretched to the river
bank. Four cars were thrown into the
river, among which was the sleeper and
tender, thrown to the very bottom of
the precipice. a mass Of twisted and broken
iron and steel, robbed of all semblance of
their former shape.
SURVIVORS, STORY
Frank Lane, of Boston, was standing on
the platform of the rear car at the time of
the accident. He said he was startled by
the humping of the cars along the ties.
He knew they had left the track, and
jumped just as the train went whirling
down the awful chasm. 1t was an
awful night. Not star was to be
seen, and no light of the moon
illuminated the fearful blackness, over the
scene. To add to the misery of the situa-
ton, snow soon commenced TO fail, and, in
the fullest sense, it was a night of terror
Shrieks of the wounded rent the air, and
their cries and groans were terrible
The wailing OF a mother over the death
OF her little girl was heartrending
Penned in the wreck, unable to effect her
escape, and expecting each moment to be
crushed by falling powders or debris from
the track. she passed an hour of fearful
agony. Mr.. Lane stood rooted to the spot,
his blood fairly chilled in his veins. Far
below. in the rush of the whirling
flood, he could hear shrieks for
help, but he was powerless to respond.
Then a red fame shot up among the
shattered mass, and spread with startling
rapidity, and the shrieks of agony were re-
doubled. The imprisoned passengers faced
the fire fiend's breath, and one cry was
heard above the rest, one shrek of agony
and piteous pleading for help, as
Z. E. Hayden, held fast by mass OF
debris, felt the scorching flames upon his
face, and he sank into the insensibility of
death. A. X. Warmers cries of agony
brought landlord Hager, of Greenfield, to
his side. Tenderly he took the wounded
man upon his lap, and loudly shouted for
help, but the knocking echoes of the
neighboring hills were for nearly half an
hour all the response his cries evoked.
