It Takes Fire and Twenty Passengers
Burn to Death.
A terrible railway disaster occurred just
west of Hamilton. Canada, at 7 o'clock in the
morning, resulting in the death of about
twenty persons. The limited express from
Chicago, ran off the track a mile
n est of Hamilton, at the Junction cut.
The engine struck the water tank, turned
over, and the train dashed against it. The
smoker and the leading day coach were tele-
i j scoped and imprisoned eighteen passengers in
the cars, which immediately took fire, and they
Avere burned to death. None of their
names Avere knoAvn, and when taken from
. the wreck four hours afterward the
: bodies were burned beyond reeog-
; nition. They all came from the Nortc-
western States and were mostly on their
way to the centennial celebration in New
York. Fifteen of the dead Avert men and
! three were women. In addition to the eigh-
1 teen mentioned two men were killed out*
