Thirty-eight persons were injured
and several of these will die. Eighty
others escaped unhurt, but lost nearly
all their baggage and clothing.
Some One Blundered.

company, but just where the blame
lies has not as yet been ascertained.
The passenger train was loaded with
Russian Jews, Servians and Poles
bound for Chicago or places in the
Northwest. A light snow was falling,
which increased the darkness of the
early morning, and as the freight was
rounding sharp curve the second Sec
ton of the immigrant train came into

with unslackened speed, and in the
crash six passenger coaches and sew

These were burned in plain sight of
the throng which stood around the
