was in the excursion party, was in one
Of the chair cars. He escaped with Sc

when we saw that collision was un-
avOidable," he said, 'the scene in our
car was terrific Women tainted and
men rushed in mad panic for the
door, but it came almost before we had
time to think. One car was cut right in
two, and the other portion of it left the
track and tumbled over. Every car
was crowded, and it is horrible to think
Of the numbers who must be lying under
those ruins.
THE roof of one Of the cars fell in a,
mass, and everybody in that car was
buried under II. It simply dropped on
top of the people. I know positively of
two in our car who were killed. They
were Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bell Of Bridge
ton. Their daughter was in another car
further back, and was not hurt. don't
know who is to blame. When we were
about two miles out from Atlanta City
\. J., we came to a stop out in the Mea-
do&vs and stayed there for several min
utes, but I do not know why. 1 think
there must have been fully eighty killed.
The only person with me was my six
year-old son, and he was not hurt, thank
God"
