take charge of their valuables. These
were turned over In many instances.

children. They lay on a cot covered
with a sheet, and their piercing screams
could be heard all over the ward. They

greatly. Four members of this family
met their fate in this manner. At noon

DANGER SIGNAL SET.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 20.-The Her.
AIDS Cottage City special says Engin-
eeer Babcock of the train that was
wrecked at Quincy yesterday is suffer-
ing from scalds on both legs, contusions
on the body and cuts on the head. He
states that he passed the main station
at Quincy at 1858 p. M, and when a
few rods north of the station saw on
the track, about fifty feet ahead, a
working party. A gravel train was
approaching from above and its engin-
eer waived to him from the cab, indi-
eating the party on the curve. The
men stepped off the track and then
Babcock saw left in the middle of the
track a jack. and he knew in moment
that an accident must follow. He
whistled, but did not jump from his
engine, and in an instant they struck
the jack. He declares that he had not
the faintest difficulty in determining
that the obstruction was jack. His
train was going about 25 miles an hour
when the accident happened and he
positively declares that no danger sig
nal was set.
