s. passenger train No. 2, which
crashed in head-on collision with
No. 8 on the Seventh avenue trestie
Saturday night, is astonishing his
physician and nurses with his mar
velous vitality. When he was taken
from the depths of the wreck with
his head terribly crushed his res
cuers scarcely conceded him a
chance to live until morning, still
he has fingered on. He is very low,
though, and physicians state that
they can see no chance Of his re-
covery.
Paul Chicolotto, an Italian work
man, who was severely crushed
about the hips, succumbed to his
injuries yesterday afternoon at the
Sacred Heart hospital, and several
others, some of whom had both
their legs crushed and broken. are
suffering terrible agony. but it is
believed that all but lyman will re-
cover.
The greatest credit for succor
administered to the injured is due
to the city's emergency hospital
squad-Dr. John O'Shea and Stew
ards Dare and Milburn. These
men, assisted by several of the po-
lice officers, were at the scene of
the wreck within Is minutes of the
time it was reported, and many of
the injured had been started for
the hospital in the police patrol
wagon before any other assistance
arrived.
DR.. O'Shea and Steward Dare
worked till late Sunday morning at
the scene of the wreck and at the
hospital afterward, and Milburn
was kept on the scene of the catas-
trophe until all the injured had
been cared for.

1ision made yesterday by the rail-
road commission, the Northern Pa
