| who stood by. 'No, she's living yet" answered
one Of the doctors. The devotion of the
broken-hearted husband was touching in the
| extreme. He refused to be led away and chung
to the side Of his unconscious vito, kissing her
bleeding lips and urging the doctors on 10
further ehorts But medical skill proved un-
| availing. The wife died at ESQ o'clock, % the
train was slowly rolling into Buffalo. Mr.
Baucus is completely FRUSTRATED. His injuries
are not serious, although his face is badly cut
and bruised and his legs somewhat sprained.
ABABY's CHARMED LIFE.
Another sad and one Of the most pathetic in
cidents Of the disaster was the miraculous escape
Of Baby Stewart, the eighteen-months-o ld
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. z. e. Stewart of
Rochester. Mr.. Stewart and wife were in the
teiescoped passenger coach, with the baby
clasped in its mothers arms, when the two Sec
lions came together. Mother and father were
instantly killed, being discovered ON the floor
OF the car covered with debris and crushed
almost beyond recognition. In the arms of
the mother Baby Stewart was found prattling
ana crying Mamma, mamma" but the mother
was cold In death and strong men wept while
the little thing was lifted from the embrace Of
the dead mother. The bodies Of Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart were removed to the baggage car and
the ladies tenderly cared for the tiny little
orphan Soon the baby tired Of calling for its
vice president Of the Groton bridge and manu-
featuring company Of Greton, N. Y, took
charge OF the baby, and, on arriving in Buffalo
went to the Continental hotel, where he will
keep possession of her until she is claimed by
relatives. The kind-hearted people on the
train took up a collection for the baby's benefit
and ESQ was realized.
The action Of the railroad officials in refus-
ing to permit reporters to 60 to the wreck on
the physicians train is severely condemned.
The man IN charge Of the special train stated
that the officials of the road had given orders
TO allow no one but the surgeons to 60 out"
and two reporters were forced to leave the car.
The reporters were obliged to drive along the
billy and desolate lake shore road with the
thermometer down near zero, and did not reach
the scene OF the accident until after midnight.
SHOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED.
Mr.. Il. B. Brown Of New York, who was on
the first portion of the train, says that bag
gage checker starding on the rear platform
was the first to discover that the sleepers had
broken loose. He informed the conductor,
who signaled the engineer to stop, and the
train came to a standstili. The conductor then
saw the sleepers coming down the grade at a
terrific rate of speed and shouted to the engi-
neer 10 go ahead, but it was too late and q ssc-
ond later the crash came. This sudden stop
page of the front part Of the train without
ascertaining the position Of the detached cars
was what caused the collision.
A reporter made the round Of the hospitals
and hotels this morning to inquire after the in
