manning almost every occupant. One
man was shot through the window,
cleared the parapet and fell to his death
to the street below
The second coach lurched forward
and rolled toward a stationary train,
and practically destroyed itself before
its wild flight was ended.
The third coach dashed forward with
the rest, left the rails and encounter
ing some obstruction overturned and
collapsed.
Guard Saves One Car
The guards van and buffet, the rear
most car of the train, was saved by the
courage and quickness of Guard Rich
ardson.
With the first shock Richardson
jumped forward and set the brakes and
saved himself and his comrades. The
van plowed forward, injuring some of
it's occupants, but practically main
tained it's equilibrium.
The surviving passengers and train
men describe the sound of the wreck
as like the discharge of a series of
heavy guns of varied ealiber, and when
the crashing of the wreck was past
there came calls of the injured, some
shrieking with pain and fear and others
moaning as if bewildered by the shock
Relief Comes Quickly
Relief came quickly, although it was
ar hour before the last body was
dragged from tha wreck. The police,
attracted by the noise. called ambu-
lances and surgeons and warned the
hospitals to prepare to receive the in
jured. The railway yard quickly filled
with police, doctors, nurses, trainmen
and volunteers.
The darkness and incredible destruc-
ton made the work of rescue exceed
ingly difficult Lamps and torches
brought to light the desolate scene.
The station was converted into sur
gerry and the platform was made a
mortuary. Several of the dead and in
Jured were imprisoned in compart-
ments,, and it was necessary to saw
away the partitions to effect their re-
lease. Others were caught under heavy
wreckage.
Several bodies were badly mangled,
and one woman was decapitated.
The first bodies recovered and dentti-
fed include those of John E. Mcdonald,

for London, but many of them elected
40 travel on comfortably Southamp-
TON in preference to the late landing
at Plymouth and the long night ride
across the country
If the New York had made a faster
passage the somber roster of the dead
and injured would have been larger
The big American line steamer
reached Plymouth at GAS Saturday
night and half an hour later there was
a tender alongside to receive passen-
gers for England.
Several who had planned to debark
and had packed their baggage decided
at the last moment to remain aboard.
1t was, fateful decision though not
dictated lby any fear. The run across
the Atlantic had been pleasant. There
were CHEEKY partings when the passen-
gers for London transferred to the
waiting tender which steamed for the
Davenport landing, where the express
was lying made UP.
Makes Sixty Miles an Hour
The train consisted of a powerful ex-
press engine, three first class corridor
carriages, and one common guards van
and buffet. The passengers were soon
entrained, and at 1880 the express
pulled out 1t was given a clear track
on the run of 23O miles to London, on
which the express generally maintains
an average speed of mile a minute.
Driver Robins quickly gave the en-
gine her head and the special was soon
speeding swiftly through the night.
1t ran on safely and without incident
until it entered the long railway yard
at Salisbury, when the passengers
noted that the coaches began swaying
from side to side
Suddenly at the end of the long plat
form, where the track begins to curve
toward the bridge spanning Fisherton
street, the main avenue of the city, the
engine seemed fairly to leap from the
track. 1T swung across the adjoining
track with terrific force and destroyed
the guards van of a milk train that
was slowly steaming in the opposite
direction, killing guard.
Lurching forward, the locomotive
plunged against the standards and the
girders of the bridge.
Engines Crash Together
The bridge withstood the impact, and,
rebounding, the engine crashed into
another engine which was standing on
siding and overturned. The wreckage
of the two engines interlocked into a
broken mass of twisted steel and iron.
Throughout the wild plunging of the
engine Driver Robins, whether alive or
dead, remained in his cab.
Hours afterward his charred body
was found. covered over by the fire box
The first coach shot over the engine
and careened onward until it was hurled
against the parapet of the bridge and

Two Coaches Practically Filled With

Two Coaches Practically Filled With
Dead and Dying
| BY Associated Press
SALISBURY, July 1.-The few off,
cials at the station were soon re-
inforced by willing helpers from the
nearby towns and with the aid of lamps
began the work of rescue. The specta-
Gle that met their gaze was heart
rending. Instead of the shreks that
might have been expected omnous
silence added to the horrors of the
scene.
In the carriages huddled in wreckage
almost under the wheels of the up
turned engine death had been busiest.
Here nine men and five women were
taken out dead soon after the accident.
The driver and firemen were dead In
their cab
These were all taken to the waiting
room and several of the injured were
given first aid and dispatched to the in
firnlary which fortunately was not far
distant. When an opening was made
into the second carriage a terrible sight
was revealed. At one end of a compart-
ment several bodies were iammcd to-
gether i'm an almost unrecognizabe
mass.
1t was six or eight hours before It
was found possible to remove them.
Only One Escapes
In one part of the coach the Sentell
family from New York were travelling
together of whom only Edward W.
Sentell was found alive three hours
after the accident.
Some water has handed to him
through hole in the wreckage and he
was soon removed to the infrmary,
bleeding from a scalp wound and with
his left leg badly fractured.
An immense gang of men with
powerful equipment worked all day
long clearing away the debris, and
about 8 o'clock this afternoon train
got through.
The mayor of Salisbury telegraphed
to American Ambassad dor Whitelaw
Reid at London heartfelt sympathy on
behalf of the citizens of the town to the
whole American nation. Similar ex-
pressions of sympathy were voiced in
the sermons in all the Salisbury
churches.
Chicago Man Will Die
Inquiry at the infirmary late to-
night elected the fact that r. s.
Critcnell of Chicago was Unconscious
from a fracture at the base of the skull
and that both of his legs were frac-
tured He is not expected to recover
Miss NJ. A. Hitchcock of New
York is progressing favorably. Miss |.
S. Griswold has undergone an opera
tion. Miss Margaret Rask is very Ill.
E. w. Sentell is doing nicely.
The cause of the accident is still in
doubt 1t has been suggested that the
wheels of the engine failed to take the
switch or that wheel or axle broke.
1t is expected that the inquest will be
opened tomorrow and a board of trade
inquiry later will fully investigate.
The train was regarded as having
been light for high speed, but 1T is no
torious that trains always sway and
shake going at high speed over this
curve Much criticism is likely to be
evoked by the fact that lately there
has been Sharp competition between
the London & southwestern and Great
Western railroads, which are rivals for
the traffic between London and
Plymouth.
