Terrifying Scenes Mark
Train Collision as Cars
Burst Into Flames After
an Explosion of Gas

PARIS. Oct. 5 (By The Associated
fress).-A rear-end collision Of two
suburban trains in the half-mile tunnel
leading to the st. Lazare railroad sta
tion this evening led to terrifying
scenes and the death OF at least thirty
three persons on their homeward jour
ney from Paris. The wrecked cars
burst into flames, and the disaster was
made all the more terrible by the cx-
plosion of a gas reservoir.
The fire spread with great rapidly,
and for time cries Of distress and the
means of the dying were heard on all
sides. but these finally were silenccd,
though the cracking Of the blazing
wooden coaches could still be heard
fignt Poisonous Fumes
The frcmcn under Colonel Hivert
were not prepared Tor the barrage OF
poisonous tunes which assailed them
as they reached the scene Finally
they succeeded in playing four streams
on the last coaches at the st. Lazare
end OF the tunnel. but these were
empty and not burning, while seven
teen coaches in the center of the
tunnel, far away from the fremen's
efforts, were burning tiercely. At no
time could they get closer than 500
feet from the inferno. Nevertheless,
every now and then g passenger with
blackened face would come struggling
out, begging the helpless firemcn, police
and soldiers TO enter the tunnel and
save those dying within
The Minister Of Public Works. VI. lie
JroqueT. who was early on the scene
helping to direct the rescue work, de-
scrbed it as "a vision of hell" He
announced that the dead would be
buried and the injured receive medical
treatment at the expense Of the state.
Subway Trains Withdrawn
The iiremen finally mastered the
flames, but so intense had they been
that the vaulting was declared unsafe
and the subway trains crossing over
head were withdrawn.
Of the thirty three known dead, sew
enteen died in hospitals after they were
taken from the tunnel Exploration of
the seventeen burned cars has not yet
been possible, and it is feared that they
contain additional victims.
Just no" many were injured in the
wreck is not known, but the number is
believed to be large
The collision occurred when the 5 So
train for the suburb Marly-le- Il oi
crashed into the rear end of q train
FOR Versailles, which lefs four minutes
earlier on the same track but which
stopped inside.
The accident is said to have been due
TO the breaking of an airbrake pipe on
the first train, and it is thought that
the train following came into collision
through faulty working of the signals.
100000 Commuters Held Up
A hundred thousand commuters, who
every evening depart homeward from
the st. Lazare station, surrounded the
yards, but were refused admittance. As
consequence there was an immense
amount of confusion, and many of the
commuters required to the barracks,
placed at their disposal BY the govern
ment.
