trunks and valises were crushed up
like so many egg shells. The two
coaches which followed were over on
their sides with their ends telescoped,
while the Pullman sleeper was the only
one that remained standing upright on

ONE OF THE PASSENGERS.
Mr.. Fl. H. Rutherford Of this city
was a passenger on the Inflated train
and he, says that re does not want to
pass through similar experience very
soon again. He said; ..The train had
fewer passengers than usual but there
were quite good many ladies among
them and when the crash came there
were shrieks and groans and the utmost
confusion prevailed. Everybody in
the rear two cars took it for granted
that many of those in the front cars
had been instantly killed. As it was,
everybody was badly shaken UP and
frightened and many were cut and
bruised. 1t was certainly sickening
sight to see when Engineer Nuckles
and Fireman Richards were removed

been noised about the city that the B.

the people began fiocking to the depot,

They could not get any information
from the company and they were going
to find out what they could for them
selves. Wives of Railway men, whose
husbands were out on the road, were
there in large numbers and the anxiety
