when the wreck took place.
AZ the first call two sisters rushed
to the station ut Milford to direct rescue
work. Eight others, directed by the
mother superior, quickly transformed

into an emergency hospital Within
a few minutes the beds were filled with
terribly injured. while a score OF doc
tors were In charge.
Father Heller, the assistant in charge,
hurried back from the scene OF the
wreck. where he had consoled the aging,
to anoint the seriously injured. ,
Two Trains Carry Away Injured.
At '2:15 o'clock train loaded with
eighteen injured reached the Central
avenue railroad yards in Bridgeport. II
was there met by ambulances from 1t.
Francis and the Bridgeport hospitals.
Another special train had conveyed
twenty injured to New Haven, where
they We're sent to st. Raphael's, Grace.
and the New Haven General Hospital.
The roadbed was not torn up, but
was covered with the ruins of the
engine and freight cars. Heavy iron
bars were twisted like wire and steel
frames on the rear coach Of No. 70 were
ripped apart.
All around lay the furnishings Of the
coaches, appliances to be used In case
OF wrecks, and some personal belong
tngs OF passengers. Snow beside the
tracks was stained with blood.
The rear coach of the express, split
wide open, was thrown across the
moving freight. crushing these cars
partly down and then falling over the
outbound track.
Not a coach Of the express escaped
injury, the forward cars being jammed
together, the windows smashed, and
showing the terrific force of the Inn
pact. The baggage car of No. was
torn from its trucks and thrown on Its
side. The rear coaches were not seri-
ously damaged, and were hauled away
soon after by a wrecking train.
Track Blocked Fer Hours.
For several hours the track was COM
pletely blocked. Later the big wreck
ers from New Haven and Bridgeport,
with their powerful steam cranes. be-
gan to remove the wreckage. A heavy
steel coal car, which had been partly
overturned, was lifted and dropped
down the bank, and trucks which had
been wrenched from the coaches were
placed on gopdolas and hauled away,
and the overturned coaches rlghted.
The makeup OF the express was a
heavy engine, three steel coaches. three
Pullmans and then another steel coach
added at New Haven.
The local had n smaller engine and
five wooden coaches, three having been
added at New Haven to accommodate
the large number Of persons bound for
way points.
