osoPpiuB DIT NICHOLS 10 let Inc west
bound pass.
Twenty five dead bodies have already
been taken from the ruins. All were
terribly burned and unacceptable.
The killed, so far as known, were al
eastern people. Three coaches Of the
east-bound train were completely con-
sumed. 1t is supposed fully as many
are still in the wreck as have been
taken out. Fully forty were
severely if not fatally injured. The
east-bound train in which the loss OF
life was 80 frightful was Raymond
& Wbitcomb excursion, returning from
Chicago loaded with passengers from
New York and Boston.
LATER-THE WEST BOUND TRAIN.
The loss of life WAS in the west-b0und
train and not the east-bouud special as
at first reported.
Both engines were badly wrecked and
the baggage car Of the east-bound train
The rest ct the train being made up Of
sleepers, it wlthstood the shock and nc
one in then was hurt.
CARS TELEsCoPED AND CONSUMED.
The west-bound train was made up OF
day coaches, four of which com.
pletely telescoped each other.
1t was here that the most frightful
scenes were witnessed, as the cars al
once caught fire from lamp and were
Nearly all the bodies had
the heads, arms and limbs burned of
and were unacceptable.
They were mostly piled up in one
end Of the car where they were showed
by the telescoping of the cars. Only
eight or ten escaped from this car.
BURNED BEFORE THEIR EYES.
A horrible experience was that OF
Mrs. Charles Van Duzen, of Fort Plain
n. Y, who got half out of window but
her legs we're so fastened that those
who ran to her assistance could not
rescue her and she burned to death be-
fore their eyes. Among the worst in
jured are the following:
Mrs. Henry Bushnell, Brockport, N.
Y.
Mrs. Belle Williams.
j. II. Archpoll, Evanston, ILL.,
G. w. Van Duzen, Sproutbrook, N. Y.
Lizzie Vance and young son.
Sincoe Orenos.
The trainmen saved themselves by
jumping except the conductor OF the
west-boInd train, who was caught be-
tween the cars and badly hurt.
Most of the deaths occurred in one
car which was telescoped by those in
front and behind it in such a way as to
pen the passengers in like rats IN a trap.
The accident occurred mile from the
fire station and before water could be
turned on and the fremen get to work
the cars were consumed.
Twenty-Five bodies were taken from
this car.
PARIS, Oct. 20.-The wild, extrava-
CANT enthusiasm shown by the French
people towards their Russian guests.
means but one thing, the extreme de-
light that France feels that Russia is
ready to fight with her, and not the
satisfaction nation would feel at the
of peace in the future.
Fighting enthusiasm was displayed at
roulon and at Paris, the enthusiasm of
1870 when "a Berlin" rang from the
to the British channel
md from the Atlantic to the Prussian
frontier. Those people who went wild
yesterday cheering viva la Russia"
(Revenge). And so in
spite of the czar's warning, in spite Of
Jarnot's orders, the spirit of war is
stirring up the enthusiastic millions of
france and urging them to battle in
plte of their leaders. Behind ell
hose toasts to the peace and prosperi-
y Of France was thinly concealed the
cast to the brotherhood IN arms, ex-
'ected to exist between Russia and
france when the war trumpet calls all
europe to arms. Those toasts were
he toasts of war and not the toasts of
eace, and nobody knows better than
be cool, calculating, waking minds of
be Germans, Italy, Austria and Eng
and.
Some peaceful demonstrations are
1ore dangerous than warhke out
ursts. The enthusiasm shown by the
'rench people is a clear-cut demon
- chic Oh
lid enthusiasm France would at al
loment's notice go to war with Rus
ia by her side. IL shows the real feel
,g at the bottom of French hearts
nd the European ships Of war will
eed very careful handling in this cy-
ionic weather in order to avert clash
nd one or two wrecks.
French newspapers publish long COM
tents upon the sympathy expressed |
y Russians at the death of Marshal |
lcMahOn. The cars message of |
links to President Csrnot for courte-
es extended Russian sailors at Toulon |
nd Paris has also greatly pleased the |
ewspapers of this and other cities of |
rance, and it may be said that France |
nd Frenchmen feel more confident |
day in the stability of the republic |
I'D in the strength OF their army and |
avy than they have done for twenty
ears past. 1t will thus be seen that |
ls visit of Russians to France has had |
decidedly braclng effect upon France.
ut it Is an open question whether
lis will not precipita:e the long ex-
,cted European war. France is now
'rself agaln-hot tempered, touchy,
ira sensitive France, chivalrous to
Oh degree, proud of her army and
IVY, strong in her likes and dislikes,
lick to resent an injury, whether real
fancied. Thus France is more dan
rous to the peace of Europe than she
as week ago.
