in time to save any of the victims of
the awful funeral pyre. Fifteen bod
les burned into unrecognizable masses
OF charred flesh, were taken from the
fiery debris, and removed to vacant
storeroom in the Etna House, which
was converted into morgue. Three
other bodies, that were not burned,
were also taken there. Another victim
who died soon after being moved from
where he lay beside the track, was
taken to the undertaking rooms of
Stanford s. Wright. His sufferings
were awfnl to behold and he piteously
begged to be killed, calling to friend
whom he recognized, even in his fear
full agony, For Gods sake, Billy, get
an ak and knock me in the head"
In the burning sleeper Warsaw" a
young woman was seen at one of the
windows, screaming for assistance,
struggling with superhuman efforts to
release herself from the wreck, but her
legs were caught fast in the jammed up
seats, and she strove in vain against
the terrible pressure. Earnestly and
long was the work of her attempted
rescue carried on, until it seemed as
though her ultimate delivery must
surely come, but the terrible flames
were swiftly approaching, and in spite
of all that could be done, drove away
the rescuers, and they were forced to
abandon her to horrible death. 80,
my God, do not leave me !" shrieked
the poor girl, but human efforts were
powerless to aid her further, and she
was burned alive before the eyes of the
Mortified people.
No words can describe the heart.
rending scene, and it was an hour ol
more before the intense heat of the
fire permitted the work of pulling out
the bodies could be commenced. Vic
tim after victim was dragged out o.
the smoking pile, burned beyond al
human semblance, the flesh in many
instances dropping from the bones
Nearly every one had the head burned
off or reduced to a blackened char
Some were disemboweled, some with
out feet, and others without hands
Arms and legs were missing, and il
no instance was any of the likeness o
the human form preserved. The only
way in which it was possible to ascer
tain who the victims were, was from
the surviving passengers of the ill ia
ted car, who knew just who and how
many there were in their party.
Every one of the dead and injured
were riding in the rear coach wher
the crash came, excepting the young
woman who perished in the sleeper
None of the other passengers were Sc
verely injured

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, April sop. IN.
The stock market was active and higher to-day
on buying for both Western and London ac-
count 1t was a chance combination between
Europe and Chicago, but the influence was too
powerful to be resisted successfully by the bear
faction and the upward movement of prices was
continued The local short interest driven
to cover and it is an interesting question whether
the buying for Western and foreign account was
simply to protect short contracts The stocks that
are dealt in most largely at the London Stock
Exchange led the upward movement, and the
strength of St. Paul, which rose nearly per
cent was the most conspicuous feature of the
market Rumors Of consolidation kvere not
wanting and ii was not forgotten that its presi-
dent and its principal banker were enjoying va
cations in Europe. They can hardly be sup
posed TO be watching the tape, but the buying
Tor European account impaired life TO the whole
market. The Granger shares gained over / per
cent this account, and the Willard shares were
not far behind in point of activity, al
though their advances were smaller 1t
should be noted, however, that many stocks
failed to regain the losses suffered yesterday,
and that the largest advances were made by
speclalties or industrial shares
The news affecting The course OF prices was
not important. The Bank of England refused TO
advance its discount rate although it's recent pur-
chases of gold have carried the Oper market rate
for money beyond its own. There were no further
engagements of gold for shipment and in many
quarters the outflow Is supposed to be checked.
The foreign exchange MARKET not affected
by the arbitrage dealings between the two centres
and the large buying apparently for London was
not of a character TO prevent further shipments
of coin. The closing at concessions which
suggested doubts about the buying. The furry In
rates for money was without perceptible effect.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET.
Government bonds were neglected, but bids for
4 per cents were raised on the informal statement
by the Treasury that the extension of the / .

the longer bonds. The closing quotations were
