Annie Kunlo. little oight-yesr-old girl,
lying cold in death upon slabs AT the
morgue. and John A. Kunlo. his wife. Mrs.
Lizzie KunlO, and son Joseph. four years
old. at various hospitals. the Kunlo home
at IS street northwest, last night. pre-
scented a cheerless and desolate scene.
The pail Of death had settled about the
freside Of the once happy home, and save
one, every chair was vacant
Sobbing with grief and almost hysteri-
cal because Of her affection. Mrs. Theresa
Hartmann, eighty years old. and mother
of Mrs. KunlO. WIS so overcome that she
could hardly discuss what had really hap
pcned. To her the fearful catastrophe
which together with more than two score
of lives had brought death to two menu

the others between life and eternity, was
almost unbelievable.
Late last evening Mrs. Josephine Cook
sister OF Mrs. Kunlo. arrived here from
her home in Baltimore. but was not per
mitted 20 go TO the bedside Of the injured
woman. She then hurried 20 the family
home, and found her mother. The latter.
already bowed down by the infirmities Of
age, was keeping a ceaseless vigil, and
all news from the bedside of the injured
ones was carefully withheld from her
/ Nerve racked from the strain under which
she has been laboring since the hour
she heard the tragic news Mrs. Hanf-
mann tainted several times. and her con-
dition is such that 1t is feared she viii

vanced age She is under the constant
care OF a physician and her daughter.
Had Gone to Old Homestead.
The circumstances under which death
entered the Kunlo family are particularly
pathetic Mr.. Kunlo left Washington Sun
day morning, accompanied by his wife
and three children. for a days outing at
Choppers, Nd. where is located the old
| family homestead. For several weeks the
/ trip had been planned. but from time TO
/ time had been postponed. When Sunday
/ was suggested. Mrs. Kunlo is said to
/ have protested against taking the jour
ney. According TO a member of the fam
/ ily. Mrs. Kunlo. who is a devout member
of st. Mary's Catholic Church, had a pre-
sentiment which inspired the belief that
/ the day selected was bad one, and that
! something terrible would happen. Agree
/ ing with the wishes of her husband how
/ ever she completed her preparations.
/ The kUnlOs spent the day mtrrily, and
upon the return trip were in the second
/ coach of the train when the crash came.
/ John A. Kunlo, who is forty-ive years
/ old, and proprietor Of several provision
stands in the local markets, IS at the
/ Casualty Hospital He is badly injured
/ about the head and body and internal
/ injuries he sustained make his recovery
doubtful Al intervals he is delirious.
Mrs. Kunlo. who occupies a ward al
/ the Providence Hospital. is not so badly
/ injured as her husband, and the physi-
/ clans believe she has an excellent chance
! to get well. She cries out necessarily FOL
/ her husband and children, but is in igno-
rance as 10 where they are or their
condition.
Little Joseph Kunlo, the four-year-
old son, had a miraculous escape
AND suffered only a few slight cuts about

/ a cot at FTeedmenS Hospital with his
head sWathed in bandages under the care
of a nurse Joseph cannot appreciate his

condition, the little fellow cries loudly
for Papa" and Mamma" He is being
well taken care of, and it is thought n,
can be taken home within a few days.
