George H. North, the policeman among the first to reach the scene tells this story:
 (By George North.)
 was sleeping downstairs, on a couch to escape the heat, when I was awakened by a series of crashes. I same time there was a series of daz- z1ing flashes. I didn't know what happened First I thought of a tor nado. AS I ran to the window, and looked down the street I saw through the electric flashes the outline of the wreckage, and then I heard the screams of the people aboard. l snatched on a few clothes and ran down the street, just as the occupants of the last car, the St. Louis Ma tionals, came running down the grass bank.
 I never saw such an awful sight. At first there was only the wreckage, and through the dim light I couldn't see my way very well. It seemed as if there was a score of live wires strung about the wreckage and every now and then one of these would form a short circuit and sputter bril- liant flashes.
 Each flash of light brought to view some new horror. One by one, men women and children came crawling through the wreckage. Some hadn't stitch of clothing. Others snatched ur sheets from the wreckage and wrap ped themselves in them as they made their way out of the danger Of fire and electric currents.
 But worst of all. it seemed to me was the predicament of a little wom' an who sat pinned into her berth ir one of the sleepers. Her baby lay deac

in her arms. The poor creature was dazed. She didn't seem to realize what had happened. On mass of wreckage directly above her was mans dead and mangled body. Blood dropped in a stream from the lifeless form above, spattering all about her. and she sat there gazing vacantly about.
 We took the body, placed it on the lawn, then sent the woman to the hospital. Another woman and baby boy were found together. I heard af- rewards it was Mrs. Rogers and her son. Both were dead. Then there was another woman with a granite block which must have weighed a least a ton piled on her. How she es- capped I can't understand. She was the last one I saw taken from the wreckage. She was in there for niore than an hour. When she was taken out, we sent her to a hospital We made an ambulance of Dr. Gardner 8 automobile by placing a section of Horan's fence in the tonneau. pr.

 Then the firemen took their axes. and cut hole through the roof and we managed to pull them out one by one Dr. McQueeney who was work ing every instant dropped into the hole. Then several of the ball players went in. There was no one badly hurt inside, but it was pretty hard task to get. them out, especially one Wom- an who was very fleshy and so large that the hole barely admitted her.

Bresnahan and 4 Men Do Three
 Hours Rescue Work

The baseball players never worked harder to wrest a pennant from an opposing team than they did at the wreck.
 There were a score of the St. Louis Cardinals in the last sleeper of the Federal. They are scheduled to open a series with the Boston Nationals. Their car didn't even leave the rails.
 As soon as the extent of the wreck was realized they came tumbling out some of them in their pajamas, others without shoes or socks They piled into the wreckage and worked unceas- ingly until dripping with perspira- tion, begrimed with soot and dyed with the blood of victims they fin ished the rescue work nearly three hours later.
 While all worked with a vim, those who distinguished themselves were Manager Roger Bresnahan, Pitcher Saliee, First Baseman Konetchy. Sec ond Baseman Huggins and Outfelder Evans. The ball players, police, fire men, doctors and volunteers besides those railroad men who were dispatch ed to the scene made a formidable band of rescuers.

CORONER VISITS
 SCENE OF WRECK

Coroner Clifford B. Wilson and Dr. H. M .Garlick, the medical examiner, were notified from police headquart- CTS of the wreck.
 Both officials spent several hours on the scene. Coroner Wilson was there at o'clock and remained un- til nearly 8, and Dr. Garlick spent several hours making inquiries to as- certain the identity of those who had been killed.
 Practically every one now on the death roll was instantly killed. One of the unidentified women expired as firemen were taking her from the wreckage, and another died just be- fore the ambulance arrived with her at St. Vincents hospital.
 Coroner Wilson has not completed rlans for his inquest. He will hold it within day or two, he said: but he will wait until a number of the witnesses now in the hospitals are able to give testimony.
