see rhe mangled forms stiIl further mutilated,
so the work went ON slowly, each moment
adding new terrors 10 the scene
The telegraph wires had been brought into
requisition and the physicians of White
Haven and points down the road were soon
ON the ground The few houses about the
spot were thrown open to the suffering, and
bonfires were lighted TO aid the work
Passengers ON the rear train state that they
saw train ahead when far down the road
They sprang from their seats and started in
wonder, expecting 10 see their train slacken
speed, hut in vain. Suddenly their engineer
and fireman jumped Then came the shock.
The engine was the Mill Greek, manned by
Harry Cook, of Fell street, as engineer, and
Hugh Gallagher, of Brewerville, as fireman.
The engineers leg was injured, and Gala
gher's leg was fractured The fireman stated
to one man that he saw the red light i'm
formed the engineer, then jumped.
Passengers gave many different accounts
OF the probable cause of the accident, some
attributing it to the negligence of the flag
man in not going back with the red light;
others say the fourth section, which ran into
the third, had no air brakes. The truth has
not yet been ascertained.
After the news was received at the hospital
confirming the worst fears, the scenes at the
depot were heartrending.
The sobs and groans of the several hundred
persons assembled were piteous as the report
spread that the train was approaching. Then
a rush was made for the platform. Then
line of policemen and railroad employees was
drawn up to keep all from the cars. 1t was
reported that the wounded were on board
and We're to be taken on to Mill Greek, near
the hospital, to be transferred.
One desperate man hearing this sprang
forward and with yell of imprecation, de
clared his family was ON the train and any
attempt to keep him from them would cost
life 1t was learned moment later that no
wounded were on board.
As the train drew up it was found to con-
tain many from Pleasant Valley and Mi
nooka, who had left dead friends behind. As
they alighted and met acquaintances the
shrielxs and walls were pitiful to heae. One
young woman walled a father and sister dead
and brother injured, an so it went.
The crowd became wild with excitement as
gradually the facts narrated above were
CLEANED from the more composed
One young man came to reporter and

The reporter read the list of names of the
dead over to him. Suddenly name dear to
his heart was spoken, and he reeled, with the
words, My motherp Helping arms caught
him, and for a time he was completely pros

A sad incident was the presence ON the plat
form of Michael Whalen, of Pleasant alley
Up and down he wandered, questioning each
one as to his two boys, IL and IA years of
age Some knew nothing of them Finally
one remembered that one of the boys was
hurt The strong man groaned.
The informant hurried away and told
