 TEXAS RAILROAD WRECK
THE DEAD WERE IN 4 CHAIR CAR WHICH WAS SIDE SWiPED BY
 LOCOMOTIVE.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 1.-The bodies of fifteen of the sixteen victims of Monday mornings Houston & Texas Central wreck near Hammond station. reached this city late Monday after noon aboard a relief train that was sent out of the city earlier in the day. The body of the other victim was taken from the scene of the wreck to his home in nearby town.
 Seven of the most seriously wound ed were also brought to Houston for treatment in the railroad hosptal here The dead all whites, are made up of three women, three children, the youngest about two years of age, four soldiers, six men. The bodies of nearly all of the dead are badly mangled, especially those of the civ ilian men. Their heads are badly mashed, making it impossible to rec ognize their faces.
 The two children died from steam burns.
 An investigation shows that all of the dead were seated on one side of the chair car-the car that side swiped the freight locomotive. When the chair car left the rail its steel side crumbled like so much earth, killing outright every passenger who hap pened to be in the path of the debris. Those in the car who escaped the crash were subjected to the steam that had been released from the loco- motive and as the result several were badly scalded.
 At the time of the accident a heavy rain was falling That. coupled with the cold weather. made the rescue work more difficult and added to the torture of the few survivors of the ill., -fated coach.
