I At the scene of the accident on the
rable line yesterday, with the exception
Of a few blood stains in the snow, there
was nothing to indicate that less than
twenty hours previous this quiet spot
had been the scene of agony, suffering
and death. Groups of idle men were
chatting about the accident and advanc-
Ing their opinions rs TO the cause of the
same.
AT the power house everything was
unusually quiet. The big engine was
still and the workmen moving about
1iStleSSly. The accident seemed 10 have
cast an air of gloom over everybody.

Caldwell claims the grip was surely on
tight and fast, because, he says, when
the train came to a stop the shock pro-
duced caused the cOmpensating carriage
at the power house, which is q very
pOnderOuS affair, to move up the in
clined plane, and, in fact, to stop the
engine.

Friday, neceSSitating the amputation of

eral surprise and admiration

There were numerous callers to see the
little sufferer yesterday, but by the adj
vice of his physicians the mother of the
hospital had to deny them the privilege.

been received from her as yet. Caldwell,
the grip man, states that he saw young

wheels.

the hill. He said that Mr.. Saunders
stood next to him on the platform and
when the curve was reached
both were thrown violently into
head against the curb. Il knew
nothing from the time the car went over
