order when the airship started. Then
suddenly an explosion was heard by
those on the ground, it apparently being
an one of the motors. The next instant
the whole ship was on fire. A second

wreckage FOR two hours before all the
bodies were removed. Six inmates of
the center gondola were blown through
the sides OF the car by the first explo-

tion and Taken to Heaton Hospital,
Where Amputation Was
Completed.

When he had recovered sufficiently to-
day to talk. Martin said that after flag
ging the train he thought he would ride
the mile to his own train and jumped
aboard only to make misstep and fall
on the track.
Martin was put into the eaboose of
the train, which switched onto the
branch line and brought the young man
to Montpelier. The wound bled pro-
fusely and it was seen at the hospital
that amputation must be resorted to
at once if his life was to be saved. Be
sides the injury to his leg, he had three
deep cuts on his head, with scratches
and cuts on his face and arms. Coal
dust and cinders were ground into his
face, which gave evidence that he had
been dragged for some distance along
