Rcscuing the Injured.
A relief train loaded with workers
and physicians hurried to the scene.
The work of rescuing the injured
was facilitated by groans from within
the splintcred cars.
The Inflated train was No. s, sched-
uled to arrive at Waterloo at 1870 sun
day morning. 1t was a little behind
time, but running at the usual rate of
speed.
At the throttle was engineer William
Durlin, of Cedar Rapids; the fireman
was j. NJ. Gibney, of the same place.
Their escape seems miraculous. The
locomotive lies at least thirty feet
from the track, partly buried in the
soft earth. Beneath the train ties and
rails are SO torn up that to locate the
roadbed is a impossibility.
The cause of the disaster was q
cloudburst u mile south of the track.
The wreck occurred near Sink creek,
where there is n railroad culvert built
of massive blocks of stone. This was
~undisturbed by the force of the wa
ter, but not so with the looser mate
rial with which the track is ballasted
on either side. Sand and gravel were
washed out from under the track.
leaving it unsupported for stretches
of from two to twenty feet. The rails
held stoutly together and there was
little to indicate to the engineer the
condition of the road before him.
On, in the darkness. the train
plunged over the wet rails. which glis.
tened in the glare of the headlight and
seemed to show n clear track ahead.
All Mt ono u lurch of the engine
warned the engineer of impending dis.
aster. He and the fireman leaped from
the cab and miraculonsly escaped
with slight injuries. Freed from the
track, the engine plowed it's way deep
into the earth alongside of the track
until the momentum could carry it nc
further. and stopped lying on its side
in the ditch. Behind it the ears of the
train are piled up in n confused heap.
The mail car was tipped about half
way over toward the right and par.

behind, which penetrated it three or
four feet. The rear end of the bag
gage a telescoped the smoker to the
depth of fifteen feet. The e half
of the smoker was raised up. resting
upon the roof of the passenger coach.
Behind this We're the two cars which
suffered most severely. The roof OF
