city, internal injuries, were removed to

OF the twenty Italians in the smoking
car one only escaped injury, and he was
on the platform, usually considered the
place OF tho greatest danger. Seventeen
injured Italians were brought TO SYRIA
cuse, some of whom will probably die.
Nobody in the sleeping car was badly
hurt. All passengers who were able
were brought here in a Central train.
The bodies OF the killed arc at Port
Byron, where Coroner Stewart will hold
IN inquest.
At 4 o'clock this morning relief
train was made up in this city, and DR..
II. D. Didama, Coroner +. W. Smith,
DR.. Gregory Doyle, DR.. G. S. Roberts
and DR.. Nathan jacobson, with num-
ber Of railroad men, went to the scene
OF the wreck. This train returned here
at 0 o'clock with the injured, who were
taken to hospitals. The bodies OF the
fireman and one Of the Italians, who
died on the way, were taken to tho
morgue. After the return Of the re-
lief train the names Of the victims were
learned.
The Italians came from Tompkins,
Cove, Rockland county, and were on
their way to Niagara Falls to work on
the tunnel there. They were in charge
of IN interpreter, Savarino Scozzavava.
The wrecked passenger train. the st.
Louis express, left here at l:5S this
morning, and was running at q high
rate of speed. Twelve cars OF the
freight train were wrecked and piled up
on the tracks, completely blocking the
road. The smoking car, in which tho
Italians, were killed, was broken to
pieces. The wreck took fire, and the
passenger train was burned, with the
exception Of three sleeping cars. The
train was made up Of two express cars,
n baggage car, a smoking car, q day car
and four sleeping cars.
No one in the rear end OF the wreck
was injured. The attendants OF the ex-
press and baggage cars had retired to
the rear coaches to catch u little sleep,
and the fatalities we're, therefore, con-
fined to the occupants Of the smoking
car and locomotive.
The flames which started so slowly in
creased in fury with great rapidity, and
before all the victims in the smoking
car could be removed from the wreck
the express, baggage and smoking cars
and day coaches were burning. The
forward end OF the sleeper Marathon
had also taken fire, and, in order to
save the three sleepers behind it, which
had not left the rails, they were un-
coupled and pushed by hand to place
OF safety. Ten freight cars and the ca
boose were also in flames. The death
list began to be appalling, as body after
body was recovered until ten were laid
along the tracks in row. Tho injured
were twice as many, and their supplica-
tons for aid were heartrendinR.
The freight train which caused the ac-
cidcnt consisted Of forty cars, and was
bound for the west. 1t was TO let ''The
Flyer" pass it by drawing over on the
MonteEuma side track. II had started
to leave the main track, and was half
way upon the switch when coupling
pin broke in the middle OF the train.
Realizing that there was no time to lose,
