They were all lightly clad and suffered burns on their hands and feet. No one was fatally hurt.
 Thirty occupants of the fourth and fifth floors, chiefly women and chil- dren, ran to the roof scuttle, think ing to escape there. They found the door leading to the roof fastened with a paddock.

Salisbury, Eng. July 2.-The scene of yesterdays disaster to the American line special from Ply mouth, having on board the passen- gers who were landed there from the steamer New York. presents little evidence to-day of the havoc wrought by the wreck of the express train, all the wreckage having been cleared away. The engineering staff of the railroad company are still seeking an explanation for the immediate cause of the derailment, but thus far have been unable to do so, or are not ready to say to what the catastrophe . attributable. No further deaths have been recorded, but Robert S. Critchell of Chicago and Miss l.. S. Griswold of Heath, near Epson, passed bad night. Miss Margaret Rask of Norfolk street, Park Lane, London, whose limbs have been ann putated, and E. w. Sentell of Brook lyn, N. Y., are in critical condition ct the infrmary. Mrs Frank w. Koch of Allentown, Pa. and Miss May Hitchcock of New York passed fair ly good night and are doing well.

 The bodies of the American vic- tims are being embalmed for convey ance home.
 E. w. Sentell rallied somewhat as the day advanced and after a con- sultation with the doctors, the chap lain of the infirmary was allowed to convey to him the news of the death of his wife. son and two daughters. The 'heart-rending tidings overcame the old gentleman and serious re- lapse followed, but restoratives were successfully administered.
 Replying to the sympathetic con- dolences of the American consul, MT !, Swalm, Mir Sentell said:
 T will try to show you that am . man. although l have seventy years to bear"
 The mayor of Salisbury. in reply to his message of sympathy tA the American ambassador. has received the following:
 Acknowledging your dispatch hasten to express the appreciation of my government and the American people for his sympathy and aid shown. at Salisbury in the terrible accident at the American boat train.
 Signed.
 "Whitelaw Reid"
 The following correcting should be made in the list of those killed in the wreck:

were very worthy men and women.
Others were just middlings and might
