N. Smith. The News gave two illustrr
tious of the calamity—one showing the
open bridge and the train tumbling into
it, the other scenes about the station,
where many were searching among the
dead and wounded for friends. The fol-
lowingis the account which The News
gave:

So great was their speed, that the engine
struck against the abuttment on the up

about sixty feet! '

The ucene. which ensued was one of
incredible horror. Upwards of fifty lives
were almost immediately destroyed. by
violent concoction or by drowning. Bot
six or seven escaped of those who were
inahe cars; among these several contriv-
ed tr beat their way out after they were
submerged. The bottom of the third
car (there were five in ali) broke in two,

into the stream.

The blame appears to have attached to
the engineer. done it is didicult to imag-

Several of the killed were physicians

his wife and two children from the win-
