Charles M. Person, conductor, Strouds
burg, Pa, skull fractured; died after
operation.
Miss Eleanor E. Rutherford, Utica,
n. Y, face and head crushed and in
ternal injuries.
The train was a special of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western and left
Utica during the morning, carrying
school teachers from there and Syracuse
for a holiday at Washington, D. c. The
train was travelling so miles an hour
and when the locomotive struck sharp
curve, where men had been repairing
the tracks, it jumped and ran along
hillside, carrying four of the five ears
with it. All of the ears took fire and
burned like finder. Not a splinter is
left.
When the train reached Stroudsburg
Pa, a Pennsylvania road crew took
charge. The passengers were enjoying
the early spring scenery along the
picturesque Delaware river valley, when
there was sudder jar and the excur-
sionists in each car were thrown to-
gether in heap.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
Hardly had the train come to a stop
before the fire started and spread so
rapidly that some of the imprisoned
passengers are believed to have burned
to death. AS the train left the track
| it broke tank of Oil, which ran over
the wreckage and added to the fury of
the flames.
Physicians We're called from here
and every town within a radius of 10
miles and went to the scene in auto

minutes after the accident there was a
score of physicians on the ground
Every farmhouse near was quickly
transformed into an impromptu hospi-
tai and farmers and wagons were
pressed into service as ambulances.
Many of the injured remain with the
farmers and at the Martin s Creek ho-
tel. Telegraph and telephone wires
was impossible to reach the outer
world.
Willing hands speedily began the
work of rescue. Unconscious victims,
pinioned beneath the wreckage with
the flames leaping toward them, were
rescued with great risk to their own
lives by the less seriously injured.
One young woman was found in a
hysterical condition, singing and dane
ing on the track half mile from the
scene of the wreck. She was cut, bruised
and burned.

ing through the city in northwesterly
direction.
The flames made inroads of nearly Il
mile into the best residential section of
Broadway, Center and West streets.
Half an hour after the irst alarm,
nearly dozen buildings were in flames
and the fire was eating its way north
erly on either side of Kenduskeag
stream.
The city was soon shut off from tele
phone communication by the burning of
the central office, and calls for aid from
Portland, Lewiston and Augusta were
sent out by the wire chief of the com

Offices were both burned early Ill the

temporary Offices outside the fire zone,
and communication was restored.
Second Fire Doubles the Peril
In addition to the fire at the corner
of Broad and Exchange streets, the fire
men found blaze in bicycle repair
shop in the rear of the telephone office.
Both fires spread with such rapidity
that the fremen were helpless.
One of the few buildings to escape
destruction was the city hall. This was
in the direct path of the fire, but the
flames leaped over it and it was hardly
scorched.
AT this point the flames crossed the
Kenduskeag stream and continued along
both sides of the stream.
As the fire burned north the path OF
destruction widened, while sparks SCI
innumerable fires, many of them con
siderable distance from the main con
dagration.
An attempt was made to stay thu
progress of the flames by dynamitins

chasm and continued with unabate(
