A heavy fog had settled over the city
early in the evening, and it was almost inn
| possible to clearly discern signal lights.
| The engine Of the express train plowed its
way into the rear coach of the accommo-
dation The car was picked up and carried
forward, so great was the momentum, and
( was driven with terrible force into the end
ol the second coach from the rear The ex-
plosion of a lamp ignited the woodwork in
the debris, and the fire soon began TO spread
rapidly.
An alarm was at once sent TO the fire de-
partment, but before any of the engines
had arrived the majority of the dead aud
| wounded had been taken from the wreck,
some of them however, being badly burn
cd. The engine attached to the limited ex-
press had been partly demolished, and
pouring from one Of its escape pipes was a
constant stream Of scalding steam. This
made the work Of rescue almost an impos-
shility at times. Men were driven back
time and time again, aud often the work
men were slightly scalded
