 By the merest chance Mayor George B. Mcclellan of New York was not on the wrecked American line special train. He had an early appointment to keep In London. and, although the steamer was late in arriving at Plym- outh. he decided to come direct to Lon- don instead of going to Cherbourg with Mrs. Mcclellan, who was booked through to Paris
 John B. Mcdonald, the New York horseman, best known as Jack McDon- aid, who is among the dead, was given the compartment on the special train which had been reserved for Mir. Me Clellan, and so the mayors escape was indeed the narrowest.
 The body of Walter Barwick of To ronto was barely recognizable, being covered with wounds.
 The scene at Salisbury was one of indescribable confusion.
 T have been accustomed" said George A. Strachan of Boston, who, with his aunt, Mrs. J. H. Whiton, was on the wrecked special, "on the broad guage railroad lines of America to speedy travelling and know what is a good swinging pace, but it seemed to me as we sped along that the old coun- try could go us one better after all. cannot remember ever having been carried along at such a rate before. The oscillation and vibration were very noticeable. I remarked that it must be good rolling stock and a first rate permanent way that could stand the strain. Just then the smash came. Mrs. Whiton and were jerked into a corner of the carriage, then the car went over, and we were penned in quite long time. Through the win dow. which was above us. we saw the reflection of flame and feared the car riage was afire and that we were cor nered, but as we waited relief came. and when we were extricated I saw the flames were being vomited from engines and that water was being thrown on the carriages as precau- tion."
 Walter Gerson of London was the sole survivor of party of five occu- pants of one compartment. He attrib- utes his safety to the fact that, return ing from dinner. he placed his arm in a swinging rest. and when the accident occurred and the carriage was over turned he was left suspended by the arm in the sest, while his less fortu- nate fellow travellers were mangled in the ruins at his feet.
 The death of Frederick H. Cossitt of New York was perhaps the most pa thetic feature of the disaster. He and his bride, who is the daughter of for mer Judge Dugro of New York, were on their wedding tour. and after visit ing the principal points of interest in Europe expected to return to New York In Octobefa They ltraseled lin company with friends, who on the ar rival of the New York at Plymouth did their best to persuade the young cou- pie not to leave the ship at such a late hour, but to proceed to Southampton. Mir. Cossitt, being bad sailor. in- sisted on landing Mrs. Cossitt, who remained on board the steamer until Southampton was reached, arrived in London last night and Is staying with friends in Park lane.
 The death of the Rev. Mir. King was touching.
 He did not lose his senses for sec ond, and even when he felt death creeping on him and when he was pin ned in the wreck he prayed for those around him. He must have been suf- fering terrible agony. yet to the end his thoughts were for others.
 Walter Barwick of Toronto was one of the leaders of the Toronto bar and won particular distinction in the Baie des Chaleurs case before n committee of the Canadian senate in 1891. He was Liberal and prominent mem- Der of the Church of England. He was called to the bar In 1871. He was a partner of Postmaster General Ayles- worth under the firm name of Barwick, Moss & Wright. He was a kings counsel.
 The death of Mir. Cossitt has a pe- culiar significance in that he was the second person present at his wedding to lose his life in the two sensational tragedies of the past week. Stanford White, who was shot to death by Har- " K. Thaw in the Madison Square roof garden in New York, was one of the guests at his wedding.
