 One of the saddest scenes reported was that Of the Degania family of St. Louis. Five Of the family of six were killed and the father Is reported dying in q st, Louis hospital. Four of the Degania children, Mildred, z years old; Ralph, six; Melvin, i've, ana Robert i4 months, lay dead to the right of their father before hs could be removed, and Mrs. Degapia lay dead to his left.
 Mildred had been munbling aud. ibly the Lords prayer, and just as she recited "Thy will be done" death sealed her lips. Mir. DeganiA in his delirium clasped his infant son to his breast, repeating between groans of pain, Thank God. Bobby, we're all alive" not knowing the hearts of his wife and children were stilled.
 Many Not Identified.
 In the confusion. several bodies were hurried away on the relief trains before being checked, leaving the number Of dead uncertain until last night. Many of the bodies could not be identified because their effects had been scattered over such wide area.
 The railroad tracks parallel the Mississippi River. and the trestle on which the disaster occurred spans Glaise Creek, where it enters the river. As a result, report was cur. rent that a number of bodies were washed into the Mississippi, but there was no way Of verifying this report.
 Rescue work was hampered by lack of light. This village Is with out electricity and the rescue workers and morbidly curious made their way among the mass of twisted steel and crumped wooden coaches by the aid of kerosene torches and candles.
 Thousands of persons visited tho scene late Saturday and yesterday, the roads being blocked for three miles. Dr. Hull said bodies were found 300 feet from the scene of the accident. One body was buried waist deep in a bog. Dr. George W. Eld- CTS, coroner of Jefferson county, said a thorough investigation of the acci. dent would be made.
 All of the dead and injured were residents of this section of Missouri. with the exception of two passengers, one from Illinois and the other from Texas.
