Connelsvilee, Pa, Dec. 24.-As a
DuQuesne Limited on the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad near Dawson last
night, sixty dead bodies nearly
fill the temporary morgues in this
city, and it is believed that nearly
a score more will be added to the
death list when The day is over. OF
the bodies recovered II are desig-
mated as unknown, most of them be-
ing foreigners, principally Italians
There was also one Chinaman. The
scene at the wreck is awful. The
coaches are piled one upon another,
lying sidewise and at angles where
only the earth supports them, while
the trucks are piled high upon banks
and among the bushes as though
thrown there by a giant hand. Full
ly 200 yards from the point where
the contact with the obstruction oc-
Cured, lies the engine with batter
ed sides and dismantlad trucks. AL
most a hundred yards beyond where
the engine tipped over is the for
ward baggage coach lying on the
slope of the bank where it rests at
an angie This great train, plunging
as it was through the darkness at
sixty miles an hour, dashed around
a curve neadlong into a pile of tim
bers and was wrecked. The speed
of the train sent it Dlunging ahead
as it left the rails and bumped over
the ties until the rails ripped up
and out and the big engine fell over.
Two baggage cars dashed on ahead
past the dismantled engine, leaving
the right of way and plunging over
the embankment The first passen-
ger car and the smoker pushed past
the engine and tilted over toward
it at the same time. The smoker
was filled with passengers and all
were killed.
Most of the fatalities were caus-
ed by escaping steam from the en-
gine escape valve which had been
torn off. The steam shot into the
wrecked smoker where strug-
Cling mass of humanity was held
fast by the wreckaga of the car. AS
fast as the victims could be releas-
ed they were taken out and laid on
the frozen ground. This work was
carried on alone by Benjamin Mich
OILS, steward of the dining car until
help arrived After being tossed
about his car. he managed to es-
cape before it took its last lurch
and Fastening forward he took in
the situation in the smoker at once
and climbing in began hauling out
the inanimate forms. He worked un-
ill he himself fell exhausted from
the suffocating steam. The work OF
rescue was continued by others and
four O'Clock this morning all the in
jured were taken out. Two white
men and colored man were after
wards arrested for looting.
