The police and tlnlnmen tenderly lift-

| tied them In long, ghngtly row on the
| floor OF the baggage room. Each was
| covered with Il sheet nnd when the line
| was complete Il passage wnS cleared ana
| those who had friends among the dead
were allowed TO pass through the impro-
| yiscd morg,le. Some OF them failed 20
| find the face they carried IN their hearts.
| Others found 1t but too soon, and thnir
| shrleks as they beheld the torrihle Ger
talnty that killed all hope was pItiful to
| see.
The train brought over twenty budicS
| altogether. Only n part Of them were
identified during the half lionr they lay
| at the depot, then all were taken away to
ynrous undertaking establishments
to be prepared for burial. Some Of the
J1entiflcatIons were not positive ana IN

mIstoken. l2nt the bodies wore 10 badly
mangle1 TINT It was impossible ~ allow
them to remain longer Without attention
and IN several cases thOy may not be
