Eighty-four bodies have been recov-

exceed 100 in the underground disaster
which occurred on the Metropolitan
electric railway in Paris Monday night.
Although the accident occurred at 3
O'Clock Monday evening the officials
and firemen were unable, until early
Tuesday morning to descend into the
tunnel owing 10 the binding clouds OF
smoke from the burning train. Ere
Quent attempts 10 enter the tunnel
were made by heroic volunteers, whom
1T was necessary TO rescue, half sufro-
Gated, and carry away TO the hospitals.
The scenes at the mouth of the tunnel
where the victims were brought forth
were heart-rending, crowds of weep
ing men, women and children strug-
Cling in an effort 10 recognize their
missing relatives and friends. Most or
the victims are from the middle and
working classes, as the trains were
carrying them home from their work.
