to the caboose, the brakeman being en-
gagged attending to the other injured.
An extra brakeman was deadheading
on the train and he went back a mile
and half and put out topedoes to pro.
tect the rear of the train. His light
began to burn down, and he says he
went to farm house and asked for the
loan OF lantern, but could not get one.
He then asked the farmer to get up and
let him in so that he could get some
matches and trim his own lamp, but
the lazy boor refused even to do that

FURTHER ACCOUNT.
P1rTsnuRG, Sept. 3O.-Freight train
No. IS, vest bound, had orders to stay at
Ravenna, eight miles beyond Kent, until
the excursion section of train No. had
gone by. After the fifth section had
passed Ravenna the regular vestibule
train, No. 8, also east bound, went
through, Conductor Il. Il. Eigert of
the freight train which should have
staid ut Ravenna, claims there was no
light on the fifth section of theexcursion
train to show there was one following.
Whether this be true or he confused
train No. 8 with the sixth section, it
cannot be known until the inquest. At
all events he pulled out of Ravenna and
got within mile of the Kent siding
when the dreadful crash occurred. Mrs
1. O. Richard of Muskego Mich, who
was sitting with her two children in a
doble seat, describes the scene
AFTER THE CRASH.
"When I saw the front of the
car coming in, glass flying
and the seats piling up
1 jumped to my feet and in an instant
was caught by the timbers. I then
pulled and pulled on my little girl, aged
8, whose legs were caught, but could
not move her. All the time screams
and groans of the injured driving me
mad. In minute men from the out
side began working on the timbers and
soon they liberated my daughter. One
man caught me up and was
carrying me away when II
screamed that my babe was still
in the wreck. put my hand down be-
tween the timbers and felt the cbild's
body and thought she was dead. When
the child felt my hand and heard my

and her spine hurt. She never mo6nsd
but set her lips and bore it.
Just across the aisle from us Mrs. Sedg-
wick was bravely holding blnziug
stove off her little girl. E" ALI day there
have been terrible scenes enacted at the
Revarre House in this city, where all
the wounded were taken soon after the
wreck. Every physician and surgeon
available in the surrounding country
was called on and have been very busy
all day attending to tile injured whose
condition is pitiable. Shocks of the
trains coming together must have
terrible, and it is feared that two or
three of those internally injured will
not survive. The scene of the wreck
has been crowded all day with hund-
reds of curious. The cost of the wreck
to the railroad company cannot be esti-
mated, but it is something enormous.
Coroner Sherman has been busy all day
looking into the cause of the accident
and empanelling jury.
