AT THURMONT.

The scene at the Western Maryland depot
and Saturday and Sunday were such as were
never before witnessed by citizens Of Thur
mont. The report OF a wreck on the rail-
road at once created great anxiety and the
next report that forty to sixty persons were
killed and wounded, most OF them from this
locality, created an unusual amount OF ex'
element and in an hour about five hundred
people were gathered around the depot.
Nothing of definite character was learn
ed until midnight when train arrived and
with it a few surviving members OF the
wrecklng crew which received the brunt OF
the terrible ACCIDENT. Even then correct
statement could not be obtained from those
returning who were hurried away to have
wounds of a more or less serious nature
dressed.
All day Sunday crowds ofpeople could be
seen going to the station expecting to hear
tid,ngs of their friends. A report went forth
that at Z p. m. train would arrive with the
dead, and undertakers Creeger and Black
were there with hearses and carriages in
which to convey the dead to their respective
homes. The hour arrived but no train, and
none did arrive until near O'Clock Monday
morning, when only part Of the dead were
brought home.
The delay in getting the bodies to their
homes caused severe criticism of the railroad
management, but the fault lies with the
Health Department Of Baltimore city prlnci-
pally.
On Monday afternoon the remains of Mr..
Stimmel and Mr.. Miller were buried by E.
E. Black; the funeral service of Mr.. Stlmmel
was held in the Lutheran church after IN
terment in the U. B. cemetery. He was a
member of X. of P. and l. o. U. F. Lodges OF
this place, both attending the funeral and the
Knights having charge of the service
at the grave. He leaves widow to mourn
her loss Revs. Keller assisted by Rev. w.
S. T. Metzger of Jefferson, officiating.
The funeral services of Mr.. Miller were
held at the home Of his fatherinlaw, Mr., w.
Damuth, at 5 O'Clock. His remains were in.
tered In the U. B. cemetery, Rev. Bayley
officiating. A wife and two small children
survive him. Mr.. Miller was member OF
l. o. o. F. of this place who had charge OF
the grave service.
