to meet his engagement here. The
mayor recalled his baggage, which was
thrown back upon the New York just
as the tender was casting off Mayor
Mcclellan will remain IN London a
week and then join his family in Paris.
He was greatly shocked to learn OF the
accident and considers his own es-
cape very narrow.
Very few of the passengers on board
the wrecked train came to London.
Most of those woh escaped death are
too badly injured to be removed. One
of those who did come here is H. S.
Brooks, who escaped with slight in
juries to his month and tongue. He
is suffering from shocks and is unable
to give a connected account of the
disaster.
Tells Of the Accident.
w. Bellati of Jacksonville, Ill, has
arrived here. He is one of the unin-
jured passengers. In discussing the
catastrCpe he said:
II was in the forward carriage, hav
ing, in common with other passengers,
just finished a late supper I heard
and felt loud crash and the next
moment found myself sprawling on the
ground. The front part of the car
was smashed and the coach fell over
on its side. The part of the coach
in which / was ran along the rails
past the engine, which had been stop
ped by colliding with another engine
on a side track, and then turned over
on its side I started to assist the
other passengers and remained on
the scene until morning, but was I'M
able to do much for those who had
been buried in the wreckage until the
railway hands arrived. Then the in
jured were quickly relieved. l consider
my escape just short of miraculous, as
the greater part of the car in which
| was riding was broken into kindling."
