Death in the Flames.

The low moaning which had been
heard In the ruins of the smoker had
ceased before the flames reached it, and
the presumption is that all its unfortu-
nate occupants were dead. One victim
whose name will never be known lay un-
der the tender, the upper edge of which
lay across his thighs, crushing them
into the hard gravel. At Col. Bills ap-
proach he begged piteously TO be
released and saved from the flames.
Col. Bills is man of nerve
and decision, but he was confronted by
terrible alternative. To move the
tender was an utter imposslbility, and
the long tongues of hungry flames were
reaching out greedlly for their victim.
For an instant he thought that only one
of the mans legs was pinned down, and
he thought about amputating it. Then
he saw both were fast, and, while he
hesitated helplessly for a moment.
gust OF wind drove the flames and smoke
upon him. bliStering his face and
scorching his clothes. Before he could
recover himself the long. fiery tongues
had wrapped themselves about the body
and head of their terrified victim and
stilled his screams.

A HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
Hardly a Vestige Of the
Charred Bodies Of Vic
tins Was Recovered
WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERs.
Reward for Their Capture--
Deadly Work Of Light
ming in Texas.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 1o.-It was
nearly dark this evening before the
frlghtful mass of debris occupying the
ravine, where the Rock Island express
was wrecked and burned a few miles
south of this city last night, had cooled
sufficiently to enable the big crowd
gathered at the place in the hope of
learning something of the fate of
friends or relatives to inspect the
charred mass in detail, but any hope
they have entertained of securing from
the great ash pile information as to the
identity of those who lost their lives in
the holocaust was soon blasted.
The tons of water thrown
on the twisted relics of the train, and
the bed of embers had been insufficient
to prevent every vestige of combustible
matter being destroyed. Occasionally
charred skull or a partially burned
human bone was raked from the bed of
the furnace, but nothing more remained
to tell the tale of those who went down
with the ill-fated train, and time was
required 10 determine how many per-
sons were lost in the wreck. The list
of killed and injured, as furnished by
the coroner tonight, swells the fatalities
to twenty-four, and were as follows:
The Killed:
