ion. 4 woman screamed frantically
for her husband, and a, mother wept
bitterly for her little boy, who, she
said, was imprisoned in tie car. She
offered all kinds of rewards for his re-
covery, but it was later ascertained
that be was rescued. Another LAZY
received a 3-inch cash on the right
eide of the head.
In the "Havana" a man sat beside
a window with his wife next to him.
The shock of the collision sent his
head against the plate-glass, SCATTERING
it and inficting a deep cash on the
skull. Edwin Brown, the colored
porter, was near the rear of the "Ha-
vsna" when she left the track and a
moment later was caught fast by a
swinging door and wreckage. He
finally extricated himself. Said
Brown "Jist as soon as de noise
stopped cherry enc commenced to cry.
Porter, porter Dis chile was to
darn scared 20 60 near the car, ! felt
like jumping in de ribber:" Beyond a
severe fright, and a piece of glass
embedded in the finger,
Brown escaped lightly.
A CoNFLAGRATIoN AvERTED.
The dozen oil lamps which were
fas ened to the ceiling of the "Osage'
we're not extinguished in the fall
down into the valley. As quickly as
it could be done the burners were
turned down and the awful coDse-
quences of fire were averted. The
Car stove was filled with Goals, but
owing to the Uncovered compartment
in which it stood, the walls were eff
feetual;y projected. The cold air
made the warmest coverings necessary,
aud much sctual suffering was endured
by those who, in the haste Of their ex
its, bad neglected to take the proper
raiment. A b nfire was built, and
when everything had been done for
the comfort of The wounded ones, the
hands of the rescuers were warmed.
Although the steam pipes were bent
and twi>ted, as far as ascertained, no
one had been hurt by escaping steam.
IN THE Usage
The interior of the Usage is utterly
ruined. The car was one Of the finest
ever turned out of the Pullman shops
and cost SIT 800. She is unusually
long and is supported on two six
wheel trucks. She had vestibules,
and the rem rkab!e escape from tele-
scopipg experience ca Is attention to
the life-saving principals involved in
cars of this cl IS. The interior finish
ed was Of Cherry, and heavy French
mirrors shed crystalline reflections on
all sides. The slvered lamp over
head and the nickleplstsd work, to-
gether with the supurb furnishings,
gave the car gorgeous appearance.
Yesterday, however, sll the appoint
plush seats were mixed IN iiiGis4p9
able confusion, sharp bits of mirrors
making exploration difficult aud dan
geruus. Tie west side of the Car rs
it lay was scratched and broken. The
trucks remained on the track, but the
car vas firmly Embedded in the earth
twenty feet away. 1t appeared 20 be
broken in two cross wise at the cen
ter. The steam pipes were warped
and twisted, and the shreds and
patches of clothing with irnumerable
blood stains gave a ghast'y look to
the debris.
THE HAVANA AND NEMAHA.
The Havana Jared better. 1t fell
down the enbankment lens thwise, one
end striking the tresile which leads 10
the Glencoe Lime Works. Both plat
forms were carried away. A large
part of the mattresses, beddin3s, rugs,
ETC., with which the car was supplied
was saved. The salvage was hauled
away late yesterday afternoon in two
freight cars. The car was worth &c.,
900.
The Nemaha had large hole stove
in its fr,nt end, but sustained little
other damage. 1t was sidetracked
nearly a mile north yesterday.
