London, Oct. 1b.--At least fifteen
persons persisted, twenty-lhree are grave
ly injured and many suffered less serious
hurts in the wreck of a Northwestern
Railroad train on curve near Shrews-
bury station at a. m. today.
Besides the corpses already taken from

Several of the injured cannot live. Fire
followed the crash, and the bodies of
several of the dead were party burned.
The killed include The driver, fireman
and guard OF the raio, who stuck at their
posts, though they might have saved
their lives by jumping.
The express was bound from Crewe
10 London and runni5g at terrific speed
when it struck The curve, mounted the
rails apparently Of It's own momentum
and swung scross the rack. Several OF
the COACHES telesooped and all but the
last one we're derailed.
The wrecksge burst into flames almost
instantly, forcing The rescuers 10 battle
with the fire even before turning their
attention TO saving the injured. A fire
brigade buried to the scene from Shrews-
bury, flally extiUguisfing the flames,
bat not until several persons had been
feariully buried.
The wrecked train wss made up of
coachts from Liverpool, York, Glasgow
ard Aberdeen.
Excessive speed on a dangerous curve
is charged and strict investigation will
be made to fix responsibility for the
disaster.

heretics who fail to fit his Procrsstean
