Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-02

across the way on South Leonard street claim to have been almost thrown from their beds and many of
 them hurried out to see what had
 happened. The regular train had
 two coaches and the baggage car,
 while the special had but one car,
 which was pretty we'll filled. The
 tender of the regular train telescoped
 the baggage car five or ten feet be.
 fore 1t rolled over, and the engine
 of the special got such whack it
 was turned completely around before
 it keeled over. The coach, although
 pretty badly shattered, remained on
 the tracks, and this no doubt pre-
 vented loss of life among the
 Grays. The coaches of the regular
 remained on the track also and
 were but slightly injured. The car
 attached to the special was prac- ticalTy demolished and itlw was a mira. cle how anybodyfiA m escaped with
 his life.
 The passengers on the incoming train included Dr c. s. Rodman. Dr Walter L. Barber, Terrence Sullivan, Patrick Craven, Giovanni Duou- giurno and his little girl and three or four other persons. All were more or less shaken, but with the excep- tion of Giovanno Duongiurno none of them was seriously injured, and at once set about lending hand to those who were unable to care for themselves. The little girl who sat beside Duongiurn0 was not hurt, but she wept bitterly when she saw blood oozing from her fathers face, and was finally soothed by neighbors. who gave her home for the even ing.
 Things were somewhat different in the car occupied by the New Haven Grays. Many of the passengers were standing and these suffered most. Governor Woodruff, who was. one of the honored guests at the banquet, was thrown from his seat and landed on top of half dozen men. He was shaken up some. but not so badly that he was not able to get out and assist in caring for the injured. He also took advantage of the first op- portunity to telephone to his home from the acid shop that he was safe.
 As soon as possible the dead men were picked from the wreckage and taken to the different morgues. Re- lief cars were pressed into service from the local station and in this way communication with the scene of the catastrophe was made easy. The injured parties were attended by George w. Russell. Dr Faber, Dr Goodenough, Dr Crane, all of this city, and Dr Hotchkiss. Dr Hessler and Dr Moultrop of New Haven. With the exception of Fred c. Rus sell and c. V. Champlain. whose in- juries were considered of serious nature, and who were removed to the hospital in Lunny's ambulance. the whole New Haven party made the homeward trip in trolley cars pro- vided for the occasion by the local company. whose officials showed disposition to render every assistance at their disposal. Considering the severity of the shock and the fact that nearly everybody in the crowd was more or less shaken up, the boys bore up under the ordeal we'll and showed remarkable courage by the way they forgot themselves and deived in the debris and assisted in taking out the dead. The scene that followed the collision never will be fully described and those who were not badly hurt never will forget the feeling that came over them when they got out into the open and saw the dead men clinging to their posts and the wounded strewn about un- recognizable from being covered with blood.
 No orslers could have been given the crew on the special train in this city last evening. as there are now no train dispatchers in this city. eth CT night or day. All orders are given in New Haven and last evening Con ductor Eaton ani Engineer Fisher must have rereived their orders in that city. Since the time Superin- tendcut Beach moved the office from this city to New Haven. Waterbury has had no train dispatcher
 The big wrecker found 1t rather difacult undertaking pulling apart the mass caussi by the two engines. but before evening should make con- siderable headvay.
