WITNESSES TELL
OF AWFUL SCENE
tcontInned from rage nne1


their sleeping berths or pinioned under
wreckage were taken out and laid In
the field badly hurt.
The advancing fire drove the rescuers
back as they were about to take others
from the wreck, and the unfortunates
men and women, were soon enveloped
in the flames. The cries of the dying
were heartrending, but nothing could
be done for them.
An alarm of fire was sent in, but
when the firemen reached the scene
the flames had done their work. The
entire train was consumed.
With the firemen came corps of ply
sicians from the city. AS quickly as
the injured were temporarily relieved
of pain they were placed on special
trains and trolley cars and hurried to
the hospital here.
Fragments Of Bodies Picked Up
Several hundred railroad laborers
were on the spot within an hour and
by daybreak their number had been in
creased to a thousand. 1t was a grue-
some task for the railroad men. Not
one whole body was found in the
wreck. Either an arm or a leg or all
four limbs were burned off the trunk
and only portions of the trunks were
found. Ten charred bodies were found
under one Pullman car. 1t is the belief
of the railroad officials that if the ex-
plosion had not occurred there would
have been no loss Of life.
Coroner Krouse empaneled jury
noon. He will begin taking testimony
tomorrow. The physicians and nurses
at the Harrisburg hospital, assisted
by the trustees and members of the
board of women managers, have been
working necessarily since the first of
the injured were taken there at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. The hospital is
crowded to the doors and row after
row of cots now occupy the wards.
