Edward j Lambert. No. ! ID street
northwest, a messenger i'll the employ of
lie Adam Express Company. and who was
Injured in the New Brunswick wreck yes
tertidy. was reported as resting easy last
night at Providence Hospital, where he
was taken as soon as he was Brought to
this city.
His injuries consisted of three broken
ribs and a GislCcated shoulder. 1t is Ee-
lievri that he is now out of danger.
T. w Fellows of this city, who was on
tie Inflated train. describes his experience
as follows:
I'VE had left Washington at IL o'clock
and ut almost midnight l turned .ftu my
berth. / was III the first sleeper AID
there were about nine others i'll the car.
/ awOkc when We got 10 Philadelphia
aud did not get to sleep again until we
had left Trenton. 1t seemed as # ] had
barely fallen into duze Ehcn there came
great crash. l always sleep with my
feet t. the engine and 50 | awokc to find
myself all doubled up at the knees.
Il could hear the noise of the brakes as
they caught hold of the wheels and then al
most instantly there was another and
greater shock This time / was thrown
against the footboard of my berth and had
my head scratched a little. Then, as the
car reeled, fell out of my berth.
Il heard the crashing OF tim rers and the
noise of steam escaping. / got my clothes
quickly, though that was "A hard job for II
seemed as if nearly everybody else in the
ear had been thrown pell mel into the
aisle. and they were all fighting for the
same clothes.
1t was still dark The lights We're lit
when the accident occurred. but somebody
thinking that they might set the car on
fire, if it should go over, eXtinguiShcd
them. so we had to get out Of the car as
best We could. inthe dark.
Il vii! never forget the sight that met
my eyes when ! did get outside. The cri-
giue. putting and snorting, seemed To bc
painting as If in great pain. 1t lay Oh its
side at the bottom OF the ditch. twenty feet
below the level of the bed Of the track.
The fire from the engines threw Il red
glare on the wreck. In the foreground
were the express ears. d.railed and heaped
on top of each other. They Were just
helping the express messenger out of the
wreck when / got outside. He thought
that there Were others i'm til" wreck, but
not a groan was TO he heard.
AT the same time others of the train
hands were at work at the engine, i'll the
ditch. They soon came upon the engineer
and fireman. The engineer was found at
lis post He had put Ou the brakes when
he saw the freight car ahead cf him.
1t was the first great shock that awukc
us all. Ii" had done all that TO 1 lid and
he died like a brave man. ut lis most OF
duty. The fireman was % III under
the tank III the rear of the engine. He
had been thrown there when the engine
struck. and went over into the ditch. He
was dead when taken out.
There were many OF those in the cars
who were mere or less shake up. but
didn't hear of any one who was hurt dan
Icruusly, or even badly. We must have
made a queer spectacle We Were all
more or less undrcssed. one woman came
out With a red silk paraSol. dressing
gown. and bonnet in her hand. She had
not much more of anything on. OF course
there was a great deal of excitement, but
noticed that the women were by far
cooler thar the men"
