A Terrible Scene.
The scene Immediately surrounding
the wreck was terrible in the semi
darkness. Illuminated only by the glare
| from the fire of the wreckage. Men
| stumbled about over corpses which fell
from the ruins and which. after the
| flames had died out We're hauled from
the debris There they lay along the
| track, some covered by blankets, which
| had been brought by farmers who had
! flocked to the scene from the surround
| ing country.
People came hurrying from the near
by villages and these with the help OF
those who escaped on train No. did
| what they could. The emigrants who
| were lucky enough to get out alive from
! the last one or two emigrant cars We're
uanble to speak English and could give
no idea apparently of the number of
people in the cars.
The conductor of this train could not
| be found for that reason the death list
must be considered approXima tely rail-
| road officials and doctors agreeing that
| the number must approximate 100.
| When the relief trains arrived. as
many of the injured as could be car
red. We're taken to Montpelier. O.: Peru.
Ind, and to the hospitals at Adrian
