nurse girl whose name is unknown, and .
babe about q year old, which she was caring
for, were burned to death before the very ewes
of the horror-stricken spectators. Heroic eff
forts were made 10 save them, but they were
apparently bound down by the broken timbers
Of the car. The poor girl pleaded piteously for
somebody in mercy to kill her The flames
almost enyeloped the car and repeatedly drove
the rescuers away. Finally the workers were
compelled TO fall back and abandon the girl TO
her awful fate. This but one of the awful
scenes being enacted. When the great freight

feet and stepped TO the right abo1t eight feet
Just then the glare of the headlight from the
freight engine flashed in my face. looked
for the brakeman. He had run toward the APP
preaching train and from the position Of the
lanternsI concluded he had fallen, but the red
and white lights could be plainly seen, though
very near the ground. moment later the
fearful crash came. I Was by this time in
front of the Pullman sleeper, one removed
from the Inflated coach. IL Was turned over
