the Terrible Wreck on the Lake Shore
 Railroad at Hamburg. \. Y.--A Bride of
 Week Among the Dead Miraculous
 Escape of Baby Stewart, Whose Parents
 were Both Kiiied-List or the Injured.
 BuFFALo N. Y., March Lone of the saddest incidents of the Lake Shore ac- cident was that which befell Joseph D. Baucus, bright young lawyer of Sara toga Springs. week ago Mir. Baucus was married to handsome young lady of Rome, N. Y. The happy couple had spent their honeymoon in the West and were returning on the Salina. When the accident occurred the lady was pin toned in tho wreck. Her body was hor- ribly bruised and her skull badly crushed Her husband was injured about the legs and head. Mrs. Baucus was brought into sleeper and the surgeons set about mending wounds Portions of the skull had to be taken out The bridegroom was stretched out on another seat two doctors working over him. Every few minutes he jumped up to get look at his wife. The doctors restrained him by keeping him constantly informed of her con dition, but the suspense was too much for him. He jumped up and, brushing the doctors aside, folded his arms about the dying woman's form. She's cold!' he cried in despair, and he glanced up for look of dis approval from the physicians who stood by. "No. she's living yet answered one of the doctors. The devotion of the broken-hearted husband was touch- ing in the extreme. He refused to be led away, and clung to the side of his unconscious wife, kissing her bleeding lips and urging the doctors on to further efforts But medical skill proved un- availing. The wife died at 2:50 o'clock as the train was slowly rolling into Buffalo Mir. Baucus is completely prostrated. His injuries are not seri- ous, although his face is badly cut and bruised and his legs somewhat sprained.
 Another sad and one of the most pa- thetic incidents of the disaster was tho miraculous escape of Baby Stewart, tho eighteen-months'-o s'-old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. E. k. Stewart, of Rochester. Mir. Stewart and wife were in tho tele- scoped passenger coach with the baby clasped in its mothers arms when the two sections came together. Mother and father were instantly killed, being discovered on the floor of the car, GOV cred with debrls, and crushed almost beyond recognition. in the arms of tho mother Baby Stewart was found, prattling and 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 Mir. 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 it's mother, fell asleep. MT. Frank Conger, vice-president of the Groton Bridge and Manufacturing Company, of Groton, 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 claimed by relatives. The nd-hearted people on the train took up collection for the baby's benefit, and $50 was realized.
 The wreck occurred at a spot where there is quite down grade, and as the. train was running at a good rate of speed, it is remarkable that the colli- sion was not more serious and that moro of the cars were not derailed. The scene around the wreck was a terrible one. The telescoped cars wore mass and along the track was strewn pieces of iron, splintered doors and window frames. When your reporter reached the scene several men were hard at work trying to get bodies out of the mass of timber.
