THE WRECK AT PATERSON
TWENTY INJURED ARE AT THE
CITY HOSPITAL.
TWO REAR CARS or EXPRESS SHATTERED
A Nephew of General Wheeler, With His Leg
Crushed Into Shapeessness Said TO the
Rescuers: Don't Mind Me, Look
Aft r the Women.

Paterson, y. j.. Nov. 29.--The east
bound Buffalo Express, on the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
while standing outside the station at tn,
Van Wrinkle Street Crossing at Paterson
n. j., last night was rum into at 7:54 D. m
by a swiftly moving accommodation train
bound from Philhpsburg. q. J. to Jersey
City. At least six people We're killed
and there are now twenty injured at the
hospital in Paterson. of whom some viii
probably die, while some, those not seTi.
ollsly injured, were able to go to their
destination.
The Buffalo Express was waiting fol
Il local train TO move that had been de
layed at the Station and the Phillips
bury accommodation was following the
express. but a short distance behind. The
two rear cars of the express were brok-
en- TO pieces, most of the passengers ON
them being either killed or wounded The
engine of the Phillipsburg train was
completely wrecked, the engineer and
fireman escaping by jumping.
Those who were chopping through the
roof of car and freeing the victims,
were treated to piece of splendid colrr-
age when they came to Sterling -
Smith, a Cornell student and a nephew
of General Joe Wheeler. The boy lives
in Brooklyn and was going to Philadel-
phia today to see the football game be-
tween Cornell and the University OF
Pennsylvania.
His right leg was terribly mangled and
damned between the heavy iron AND
wood work, but he was conscious when
the rescuers reached him.
Don't bother about me- he yelled te
the rescuers There are women below
me. Get them out first; / can want q
while. My leg is broken. See it wiggle,
and the youth tried to smile.
One of the rescuers said as he was
clnopping away: You are brave young
dhap.'
Il don't know about that" said Smith
calmly. .'but my mother is a sister cd
General Joseph Wheeler, and guess
I've got the right stuff in me"
The leg which me referred to as beine
broken was mashed almost into a shape
less mass, and it '.wiggled" because tht
bones were splintered and it was hang
ing simply by shreds of flesh and torn
tissues.
At the hospital later the doctors made
immediate preparations TO amputate it.

Miss Owens; SO we found q lady gradu-

who by the recommends seem to be
very efficient and perhaps will make q
good correspondent, in the person of
Miss Blanch Bell.
Leaving the latter place for Fair
field where there are but few colored
inhabitants, yet nearly all own their
own homes in the good part of the
town, with nice we'll kept houses on
on them. In Mount Pleasant we found
things rather quite, as the colleges
were all vacent for the summer. We
were soon on our way to Burlington
where there are several hundred color
