Charles NJ. Person, conductor, Strouds-
burg, Pa, skull fractured; died after
operation.
Miss Eleanor L. 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 holiday at Washington, D. c. The
train was travelling so miles an hour
and when the locomotive struck a sharp
curve, where men had been repairing
the tracks, it jumped and ran along
hillside, carrying four of the five cars
with it. All of the cars 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 a sudder jar and the excur-
sionists in each car were thrown to-
gether in a 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 a tank of oil, which ran over
the wreclage and added to the fury of
the flames
Physicians were called from hefe
and every town within a radius of 10
miles and went to the scene in auto
mobiles and special trains. Twenty
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
were torn away and for some time it
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 a mile from the
scene of the wreck. She was cut, bruised
and burned.

Where 1t Started.

The fire started in hay shed of the
j. Frank Green building, on Broad
street, and in a short time was sweep
ing through the city in northwesterly
direction.
The flames made inroads of nearly
mile into the best residential section of
Broadway, Center and West streets.
Half an hour after the first 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
pany, who climbed pole and cut in on
trunk line. The telegraph company S
Offices were both burned early IN the
conAagration, but later it established
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
seorched.
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 set
innumerable fires, many of them a con-
siderable distance from the main con
fagration.
An attempt was made to stay the
progress of the flames by dynamiting
several blocks, but the fire bridged the
chasm and continued with undated
fury.
Help from outside cities began to
arrive soon after clock, the Augusta
department being the first and to it was
assigned the duty of saving the resi-
dence district, if possible.

M 'FARLANO WINNER BUT HIS FRIENDS
 WERE DISAPPOINTED
Best He Could Get in Fight With Tommy Murphy Was
 a Decision
ALLEGED A BROKEN HAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.-Packy Mcfarland. the idol of the Chicaso stock yards, won and lost today when he was awarded decision over Harlem Tommy Murphy at the 7nd Of twenty rounds of fighting be- fore 6,000 critical spectators. Mor rarland victory over the tough New Yorker, whom nearly everyone ex- Eeeted to see him knock ont, was clean. and left lttle room for fF- gument. But the rank and file of ,he fight fans seemed unanimous that the Chicago man as an opponent of Champion Wo.g8st was an imposs bill ty. Hence his victory over Murphy left d tinge of d sappoin ,ment among the fight followers. who are not backward about yoicing an opinion.
 Mcfarland and his seconds claim that he 1rOoe hls hand in the twelfth iound, ana a eursory examination ,t the conclusion of the bfRtle showed that that member was pulled and swollen, but of this the public was not aware unt after it left the arena. McFarland. if he really broke Als hand. fought a wonderful fight. Murphy, on the other hand, gave an exhibition of g. Lneness and ability to come back rarely seen in the prize ring,
 During the early rounds Mcfarland "a rly smothered the Harlem man with a fusilade of swings and punches, rom which there was no escape. ,nce he sent Murphy on his back, but he was up in an instant for more, apparently none the worse for wear. Time and again he was fought out of the ring, and nearly into the .aps of the newspaper men, and ap- peared to be in great distress, but the well simed punch necessary to give m a quietus was not in Nc Fariand.
 Mugphy's eyes were badly discol- cred. and his left ear was cut and damaged until it took on the prOpor- tons of an egg. But in spite of this, tine tough easterner fought back ey- cry minute, and sn the last two rounds. made a better showing than did Mcfarland Mcfarland left for the east tonight. and W T go to New York to keep an engagement to meet Matt Wells, the English champion.
