The injured were taken 20 tho various
hospitals Of this city. The railroad
company is being severely criticised for
not promptly attending 10 the wants
OF the Injured. No special train was
dispatched 20 the wreck, and it
was three hours and a half after
the accident before any Of the injured
had medical attention. The dead
were allowed 20 lie upon the ground
near rhe wreck until 2 o'clock iu the
afternoon. when they were brought here
by special train. The railroad com
pany seemed paralyzed with the awful
ness of the accident, and private cltl-
zens had 20 step forward and LOOK after
the dead and injured
