DEAD AND INJURED CUT CUT.
The crash could be heard all through the viii
laSe of Midvale, and n big crowd gathered at
once The passengers on the TWO trains had left
the cars Immediately after the crash. and the
utmost excitement prevailed. The screaming OF
those who had escaped drowned the cries of
those who were imprisoned in the wreck Every
one seemed TO have some persons missing, and
men and women from the trains about for
few minutes Historically calling for friends who
were unharned and who in turn We're rushing
about looking for the others.
