Miss Eddy, who leap ed for her life, narrowly escaped roll- ing under the wheels of the train. She was cut about the hands and face and received probably internal injuries Lloyd Robinson was fortunate, for he fell on soft soil and although seriously injured, was not so badly hurt as the others
 So great was the speed of the ex- press train that 1t sped along for a quarter of mile before 1t could be halted The conductor ordered his train back to the scene of the smash up When he saw how dangerously hurt the members of the automobile party were, he had two cars detached from the train and with the wounded aboard, started for the Nassau County Hospital in Mineola.
 | Miss Townsend died almost as soon as | she was lifted onto the train, and Smith also died before the hospital was reach- cd Mss Townsend's death was caused by fractures of the skull.
 At the hospital 1t was found that Miss Eddy was in a critical condition Lloyd Robinson was also badly hurt but 1t Is believed he will be able to leave the hospital tomorrow A num- Der of the passengers on the Million aires express were injured by bena thrown to the floor when the emergency brakes were applied.
