A rush-a roar-a frightful crash

shouts of men and wild confusion for
a few minutes of horror. Then Eng
fish pluck and cool-headedness took it's
usual sway, and the work of rescue was
begun by the few officials, aided by a
crowd Of eager helpers, who in five
minutes seemed to be on the spot from
the town; the doctors, as always, to
the fore with their services. Some of
the injured were carried to houses near

rough neckerchief over the young face
that might be that OF the dead.

His apartment opened on to this cor
