The rescuers were helpless to aid
| them. as they already had been driven
| from the wreck by the flames. one Of
| those who tried TO take out man PIN
| ned found that he was held down by
one Leg near the ankle and, seeing II
would be useless to do anything is said
| 20 have finally severed the mans leg
and then carried him to one of the
| parlor cars. The rescued and rescuer
were badly bumed.
When the engine plowed into the rear
car 1t partly split the ear open and
at the same time lifted il up and onto
itself This ear was the first to take
fire and most Of those IN 1t are dead

meath the overturned engine. Those

BEGGED TO BE KILLED.
1t was here that the worst scenes
were witnessed. The imprisoned ones
begged for death TO end their agonies
and implored those who were laboring
to get them free TO crush their heads
with the axes they were using to chop
away the wreckage.
One passenger only was severely hurt
on the Royal Blue He was walking in
the aisle Of one Of the cars when the
crash came. He was hurled through
the window. One of his hands was cut
and he was badly bruised. He said he
was son OF John Wanamaker Of Phil
adelphia. He did good work later on.
after his hand had been bandaged
A Westfleld doctor went into the
wreck and bandaged and treated the
injured even before they were released.
Some Of those ne treated were after
wards suffocated or burned TO death.
CRASHED INTO THE WRECK.
Just as the wreck occurred an east
bound train was approaching on track
No. g Before It could be stopped the
engine crashed into the wreckage
which had been hurled on TO the track
but II was light stuff and the engine
brushed II aside and crushed part of
Il under the wheels The train ran
its own length beyond the wreck
stopped and, after ascertaining that It
had sustained no injury itself proceed
ed on TO New York.
WHAT OFFICIALS SAY.
The railroad officials say the signals
were In working order and that they
were properly set; that the express ov-
erran and dashed into the block In
which the slower train already was.
Railroad men here say the engineer
probably failed 10 notice the signal and
even when he saw the tail lights of the
train ahead did not realize for mo-
ment that they were on the same track
as he was. Travelling over 60 miles an
hour with heav ytrain behind him, II
was impossible TO stop when he reallz-
ed the truth.
The engineer OF the express train,
John s. Davies, was not the regular
engineer. He was, however, familiar
with the running of the train.

Tic shenl,erd,s Parse.

A valuable little plant that goes to
waste by roadsides and vacant lots is
the shepherds purse, whose tiny seed
pods are known by everybody ut sight,
though not by name. The green seeds
stripped from the stems and strewn
over lettuce or endive are a piquant
addition to salads of which no epicure
will need to taste twice to be assured.
The fresh peppery taste suggested in
one of its names, "Wayside cress," is
yet finer than common cress. But it's
curative qualities need dwelling upon,
for it is said to be one of the surest
remedies for a disordered digestion.
The seed is eaten green. When the
lower pods are set and the top still in
flower is the best time, but it can be
used any time. The pleasant warm
ing, clearing, purifying effect is felt at
once, end the only directions are to
eat the seeds often and as much as is
agreeable. For croupy children it may
be boiled in milk. but for elderly per-
sons this is unnecessary.-New York
Tribune.
