Of tue accident, and did all In his power
TO oalleviale the suffering, but could only
aid one person Ut q time. Alter some
timu a number OF doctors from along
the line arrived and worked lsng and
faithfully among the suffering. Ladies'
ol the vicinity turned out en- nasse, and
too much cannot be said In praise OF
their noble Efforts. Owing 10 the fact
that cars on the vestibule train were
heated by stean, fire did not break out.

isrtpUrted that the rails Rpread. Other
reports say that the rail was worn out
aud thv ties rotten.
