by Associated Press.
ANTWERP, May 21.--One of the worst
railroad accidents in Europe in recent times
occurred at Contich. station six miles
southeast of this city ON the main line at 8
O'Clock this morning.
The exact number of victims had not been
determined up to late tonight, owing to the
difficulty of removing the bodies from the
debris, but the latest estimates places the
number of dead at sixty and 100 wounded.
The catastrophe appears to have been
due to a defective switch, where the
main line crosses a local line. At this
point a, train carrying large NUMBER
of pilgrims on Their way to local SHRINE
was standing. Into this the Antwerp
Brussels express dashed at a speed OF
fifty miles an hour literally leapinS on
top of it.
The heavy coaches of the express
crushed the lighter train into splinters.
Sides Torn Away
The sides of the express cars were
torn from their fastenings, the floors
practically colapsing, thus precipitat-
ing the passengers to the side of the
track, uninjured, whence they fled,
frenzied, across the field. But for this
fact the death roll would be much
greater.
Few of the occupants of the local
train escaped alive. Those not killed
were badly injured, many of them NOR
tally.
The rescuers, even the doctors who
were hardened to such scenes. were
sickened at the sight that met their
gaze.
Evidences were found of horrible
death struggles that occurred in the
crushed coaches.
Some GreWsome Finds
In one place a dismembered hand
was found clutching one of the sup
porters of the torn car.
One body was found lying across the
boiler of the locomotive, crushed into
a shapeiess mass
The majority of the dead could not
be recognized, either being decapitated
or their heads being terribly crushed.
The judicial authorities of Antwerp
soon arrived ON the scene and opened
an investigation into the disaster. They
ordered the signal men in charge of the
switches arrested, although it is be-
lieved by the authorities that they are
blameless. The engineer and fireman
of the express were both killed at their
posts.
Prince Albert went to Contich this
morning and visited the injured, hav-
