oi tho fatally injured all are more or
I'sss seriously burned about the limbs and
body, but the worst injuries sustained arc
fearfully burned heads aud faces. All
were also injured internally from inhaling
the burning flames. which scorchcd and
parched their throats to such an extent
that their escape from instant death wns
almost miraculous. Others of the injured
suifer from hurns on various parts Of the
bead. limbs and body.
The wreck and it's consequences is the
topic OF conversation In Alton to-day. A
representative Of the associated press ar
rived at the city early this morning and
vi.ited tho hospital.
The scenes In the wards occupied by tho
injured are even moro heartrendcring
than yesterday. Lying on cots wrapped
In cotton bandagcs until they have almost
lost tho semblance Of human beings
and surrounded by weeping relatives and
sorrowing friends, the injured formed o

was: "Oh my head! Doctor can't die ?"
Somo patients lay perfectly quiet. no

that soon will be beyond earthly suffering.
Not until o visit was made to tho
morguo did the horrible reality of the ac-
cident become apparent. Here awaiting
the undertaken were the bodies of five OF
those who died during the night. The
bancages had been removed from tho
bodies and the fearful ravagcs of the
burning oil was plainly apparent.
Scarcely one OF tho five could be rccog-
nized even by relatives. The oil wherever
| II touched the skin burned deep into tho
flesh, while such portions OF cuticle as
escaped entire destruction were blistered
and in many places b.ackcned by the in-
tense heat. The lips were terribly swol-
