Scenes at Morgue.

The undertakers at 6,o'clock last even
ing completed the work OF preparing
the dead for burial, and one Of the
morgue doors was thrown open in order
20 give those in waiting an opportunity
to view the dead and identify any that
might be unknown. With a rush the
doors were almost torn down, and in
a moment the most terrible scenes were
being enacted. Women upon their
knees crawled UP between corpses and
peered into the faces OF the dead. and
turned away, only to enact the same
scene at the next body.
Every face in the long row depicted
the agony that the dead had endured
from the terrible scalding. the under
takers being unable TO obliterate thu
marks of suffering. The remains o.
many Of the dead are being shipped &

The wreck was caused, beyond doubt
by heavy bridge timbers breaking tn
castings on a car in Westbound freigh
train and falling TO the eastbound track
IL was believed at first that the disaste
was caused by train wreckers, but al
investigation by the railway officials re
moved all possibility OF such being thu
case.

called to. Sicily on similar business,
where l remained several months.
One day ship came in from Ameri-

pleasure or health seekers, among
them an American gentleman, Mr. Els
ten and his daughter Alice. Alice Es-
ten was in delicate health, and this
was the reason for their making the
his money lavishly. He took the best
rooms in the hotel and had all the
servants at his beck, each striving to
win the coins he kept in his pocket to
secure their attention. l made his &C.
quaintance one evening, and when he
learned that I was a telegrapher he
told me that he had been an operator
himself; had secured an interest in a
telegraph line which had afterward
been sold out to a combina ton for so
much money that his share had made
him rich.
He was very unwise in not conceal
ing his wealth, for the Sicilian brigands
are noted for kidnapping rich people
and holding them for ransom. They
soon spotted Mr.. Esten and one day
when he was climbing an ascent back
