Frightful Accident on a Belgium Railroad

at FOret.
Brussels, Feb. I8-The Lilly express
was wrecked at Foret, Belgium, this
morning, and 80 people were killed and
100 injured. The wreck, which occurred
at Foret, seven miles from Liege, was
caused by collision between two trains.
The Lilly express was standing at the
station of Journal when the Mons
plunged into the rear of the train. Car
riage after carriage was demolished and
the cries of the injured was most heart
rending. The scene was most pathetic
when the recovery of the bodies was be
gun. Most of the victims were Belgiums
though there were a. few French No
English or Americans were on the train.
Heavy fog, which prevented the Mons
engineer from seeing the other train,
was responsible.
