Her pale face was an evidence that
all was not we'll and for four hours
they worked to release her. She was
bleeding to death. All efforts to
free her were in vain. The brave
girl was told that she could not live
by Father Melley, who gave her the

HORRORS OF THE WRECK.

Many terrible and striking Incl
dents that occurred at the Mud Run,
Lehigh Valley, Pa, wreck are now
beng discussed by people who were
present. Eighteen bodies were on
the boiler of the engine. One was
standing on the pilot, with the head
nearly severed from the body rest
ing on the headlight. 1t was the
body of John Rogan, of Providence.
Five bodies were so twisted together
that it was impossible to remove
them, and for six hours they hung
= head downwards in the full view of
their friends. One woman was burn
ed to a crisp, and sat erect with her
dead child in her arms. The body
of cadet was found twisted up
against the cab of the engine. James
McNicholas, Of Scranton, was found
lying on the track with broken leg.
To those who came to help him, he
cried out: "My daughter is on the
last car. Leave me lie here and
save her." He was taken into a
car. He had no sooner been placed
in a comfortable position than q girl
was carried in and laid on seat OPP
posite. The girl was crying " father"
McNicholas, forgetting his own in
juries, jumped up with cry of "Liz-
zie," clasped her to his bosom and
sank into a faint on the bottom of
the car. Lizzie has since died.
From the first window of the rear
car hand was seen to move to and
fro, signal for help. For nearly
an hour the hand swayed and for
an hour the men worked to rescue
its owner. 1t was found that his
feet were fast and his removal was
impossible. His body fell through
the window and he died suspended
by his heels.
"That's my Jimmy's voice." cried
James jackson, of Pleasant Valley
as the voice of boy was heard
above the din. The father jumped
to the side of the car and cried
Keep up your courage; your father
is coming to save you" Mr.. Jack
son struck a window with his clench.
ed fist and crawled through the open.
