Two, but as soon as the hot coffee az
rived she was one Of the first to join
in serving it.
Dr.. and Mrs. Farnam were hurt
much more than any others OF the
Ogden party. They suffered great
deal from collapse naturally incident
to such an escape as they had had.
Mrs. Farnam was bright and cheer
ful, although her arm was very badly
bruised and her head was hurt. DR..
Farnam looked CHASTITY. His face
had been burned and a hole was giv-

The Railroad Victims.
Conductor Wilcox, Of the St. James
began to count his men, and he soon
found that Cunn1ins, Little and
Hanes were missing. Several efforts
were made to find them, but in vain.
There was no way to reach them. AS
soon as possible, Mr.. DeSaussure,
OF the Virginia-Carolina Company,
had stream Of water playing on the
fire in the wreck, and this was sup
plemented with water from the city
fire department, and only after the
fire was extinguished was it possible
to recover the bodies of the colored
servants.
Over on the platform of the ferti-
lizer, plant C. NJ. Cope, the young flag
man was dying. Medical aid could
do him no good and in about half an
hour after the wreck he breathed his
last. The shock and internal injur-
les caused his death.
Engineer Hunter, who had jumped
as soon as he applied the brakes,
waited uncomplainingly until medical
attention could reach him and he
could be moved. Shull, one of the
cooks on the St. James had fright
full cut on his arm, and the blood
V IS squirting from the wound. lem
porary relief was given him until he
was turned over to trained nurse,
and as soon as the young lady had
bandaged his arm he put his head
on a mattress and went to smoking
a cigarette.
Mr.. Mccoy, who was especially in
charge of the party, did not appear
to mind the cash in his head, and
went around giving orders with the
blood dripping down his neck.
Those Who Escaped.
Conductor D. R. Robus found all
of his crew all right.
Mr.. Stephen Baker and DR.. and
Mrs. A. S. Draper were the only pas
sengers in the second dining car wait
ing for breakfast, They escaped un-
injured through the windows of the
car.
Mr.. Robert Ogden's Distress.
One of the first to get out to render
help was Mr.. Robert c. Ogden, who
went out bare headed and without. his
collar. It was painful to see how Sc
riously he took the accident, for which
he was in no wise responsible. Often
ne wished that he could bear the suf-
ferings of those who had been in
jured and he gave repeated instruc-
tions that nothing was to be spared
in making those comfortable who had
been hurt. He asked Dr.. Seth Low
to take the list Of passengers and
check it up and when told that the
list showed every one safe and pres
ent Mr.. Ogden said: "Thank God
for that" Later on when Haynes
body was taken from the wreckage
Mr.. Ogden directed ii undertaken
to see that he and all others were as
we'll cared for as if they had been
himself.
