with unslackened speed, and In the

several freight cars were knocked into

locomotives, went rolling down the
ten-foot embankment. Firo broke out
almost immediately in the wreckage,
and although a number of tho injured
wero saved by the desperato efforts
of tho train crew and surviving pas-
sengcrs, tho greater part of those who
were pinned down in the debriswore
burned to death. The flames spread
through the wreckage so rapidly that
It was impossible to save a number
of people who were but slightly hurt,
but wore held fast by timbers. Thoso

throng which stood around the sceno
of tho disaster utterly unable to lend

consumed and of the forty-seven peo
ple whose death followed tho collision,
forty-five wero burned to ashes.
A largo number of tho relatives of
tho passengers on the ill-fated train
were in Chicago awaiting their arrival
and when tho reports ot the catastro

wero hnrrowlng. Men were there who
had come to this country to escape
the massneres In Russia, and who aft

enough to pay tho passago of mem

when they became aware that possibly
all their sacrifice and effort had re
