FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
AN EXPRESS JUMPS THE TRACK
AND EIGHTEEN ARE KILLED.
A Spot Near Hamilton, Ont , the Scene
of tho Accident—Most of tho Dead
So Completely Burned That Identi
fication of the Corpses is Impossible
—Over a Score of the Survivors
Badly Injured.
Hamilton, Oat., April 28.—The limited
express train on the Grank Trunk railway,
due her© at 6:55 o’clock this morning, met
with an ac idont about two miles we.t of
this ci' v, the result of which was the loss of
many lives. The train was composed of an
engine, two baggage cars, a sin a
Chicago and Grank Trunk road through
passenger coach, a Wabash road coach, a
Wagner first-class coach, a Pullman car
and two Wagier sleeper*, in th) ordii*
named. Conductor Po >le wa* in change of
the train, with J. Watson, of L>ndo:i, ns
engineer, and J. E. Caapinaa, of Loudon,
us Fireman.
SCENE AND NATURE OK THE ACCIDENT.
Trie accident occurred at the junction
where a*Y” is built. This “Y” is used to
switch through trains for Toronto to the
T >ronto branch from the main line. The
train is said to Lave been run
ning at a speed of forty mile*
an hour or more. When direc ly
on the creasing a switch engine jump *d tlio
rack and plunged into a * ater ia k, which
sto and in between tho “Y,” smashing tne
tank into atom* and turning the engine
almost up side down. Tne baggage cars
tame directly niter the engine, and the
first of these was pi’chel over the e*ig ne
and thrown on the mam track, leaving its
wheels behind it.
CAUGHT FIRE.
The other baggage car caught fire from
th engine, and the tvo wee soon iu
11 ime-. Tne coachei following, with th •
exception of the two Wagner cars ii the
rear of the train, were huddled tog ther by
’he shock, aud soon caught tire from the
baggage cars. Tae passengers on the trai 1.
numbering over 150, many of whom were
asleep at the time, ha 1 a terrible experi
ence. A majority of those on board tho
t ain were able to got out of the cone ie.* be
fore tho fire reached the n, but in the c in
fusion that reigned it D not known how
many victims were left to tho mercy of the
flames, penned in by the mater.al of the
wrecK and unable t > ex ricate themselves.
DECAPITATED BY FLYING DEBRIS.
J. S. Gurney of Brooklyn, N.Y„bad his
head com metaly severed from nis body by
a piece of flying debris.
Rudolph E Geerkr, whose address is
not know n, was also instantly killed.
As soon as the engine rolled over, after
striking the water tank, Engineer Wattou
ad Fireman Chapman crawled out from
underneath it, neither of tiiem being much
hurt.
An auxiliary train was sant out from this
city immediately on receipt of the news of
fhe need nt, and the passengers, including
the injured and two of tho killed, were
brought to this city. The two Wagner cars
in tie rear of the tram were u icoupled
rom tue others and were saved from the
flames.
WORKING AT THE WRECK.
A largo gang of employes, under the
directi mof John Hall, a loc *lllOl7O fore
man, worked unceasingly at tne wreck,
doing their utmost to extinguish the lire.
Tbere was g.'eat difficulty in securing
wa*or, owing to the tank being smashed,
ind the fire held sway for many hours be
fore a thorough search could bo made
through lie dabris. Up to 5 o’clock tn
eba: red remain* of eighteen victims had
been exhumed from the wreck. I.i no case
was there onougu of the bo ly left to ident
ify* tho remains, or to tell whet ier tue
|icrsoa was of the male or female sex.
THE WOUNDED.
T l irlesu of the wou - led are now* in a
hospital. About ten others we e slightly
hurt, but no, so badly * to prevent tuem
from conti uing their journey.
I. was 6 o'clock thus eve ,iag before the
tracks were cleared.
N me of tne member* of the D.strict
Light Infantry were 1 ljureJ, and uut a
wo nan w’a* in the least hurt.
The wounded 1.1 the hospital are all doing
well.
PO NEGLIGENCE.
As far as can be learned thcro was no
negliger.ee on the part of t e railroad com
pany. Tue train simply 311 nped the track
at the frog. The engi iee.* a:i i firemen did
not jump because they had n* ti ne. They
were token fr ni the debris vvit-.i difficulty,
and R is miraculous how they escaped wi.h
their lives.
The baggageman and expressman, James
Welch ami Fred Duma*, both of Ni i.gtra
Fails, were in the car which jumped over
the e gine, y f, t n ether wa* hurt.
Ti e screams of the men who were being
bn nod to death ii the smoking car could
l e board ab vo ihe noise of the escaping
steam a .and the roaring of tho flames.
NOT RUNNING FAST.
Conductor Cole say* that the train was
fif eon minutes late, out not running
mo ft than t web tv miles an hour when the
accident hap e led, a* the orders are 1 hit
trains must not run at that particular placi
at a greater spft.ni than twentv mile*. The
place where th • acci len„ occurred is con
sidered da iger >us, as tuere is u switch on
