"A Hell of "It was a veritable hell of fire." said Victor Creenbautn of New York City, who escaped with slight i juried.

"People-who came hurrying to the scene from farmhouses in that locality stood about the wreckage helplessly and held their hands to their ears to shut out the frightful screams, ami turned their eyes away because it was more than they could bear." The scene immediately surrounding the wreck wis terrible. In the semidark-ries. illuminated 'only by Hie glare from tht? fire of the wreckage, men stumbb about over corpses which fell from the ruins and which, after the Names had died out. Were haubd from the debris. There, they lay along the track, some covered by blankets which had been brought by farmers who had flocked to the scene from the surrounding country.

When the relief trains arrived, as many of the Injured as could be carried were taken to Montpt-ller, Ohio, 1'eru, lnd, and to the hospitals at Adrian.

Many Sad Episodes. At the Fnion Station In this city during the night there were many sad episodes. Relatives and friends of passengers who were known to have been on the wrecked trains besieged the railroad officials with entreaties and inquiries. One little girl waited until 2 a. m.

for her sister, Vlda Degas of Tupperville, ami was then informed that the sister was among the dead. "lJt Hd! Dead she shrieked, fastcn-'ing arms about the neck of the operator. who had announced the names, while tears welled the eyes of the spectators. The. grief of the child exhausted her so that she had to be carried away.

Job WItehell of the firm of Witchcll Sons Co. of Detroit, was expected home on No. I. His son was at the depot to meet him. At midnight a dispatch came numbering Job Witchell among the- dead.

The son was in the waitingnw when the news was broken. The terri ble loo much and he swoon cd, fulling against a radiator. He was assisted to his seat and rt mained in that attitude, stuuned by the calamity His father had been In Dallas, Texas, for some -time and had Just telegraphed hi? intention to return on the "ill-fated train. The rel'ef of those whose friends and relatives were gradually announced to be till living was in strong contrast to the fndnss of th" mourners. A large crowd stood about anxiously awaiting tidings until long after sunrise.

Outside ambulances from ail the city hospitals waited for any of the Injur ho might be brought to the city. Kelief Train Arrives. A special relief train arrived from Adrian at a a. bringing live dead bodies, four men and one woman, and a stretcherfoll of burned and blackened pieces of dead humanity.

Daylight Dawns on Scene. DETROIT. Nov. developments since daylight dawned upon the horrid scene of wreckage on the Wabash railroad near Seneca have tended to minimize or detract from last night's ftwful calamity. Most of th tr it nas teeu cleared irom me itacK.

It con- tinues to nppcar that the number of ad victims will reach from eighty to one hundred and that more than the latter number are suffeting greater or lesser injuries.

Considerable light was shown on the cause of the disaster by the orders which the conductor of No.

The cab of engine 8s. which had been forced on top of engine 1 eil in the collision, was still resting there.

The trains which crashed together were the Continental Limited, eastbound. known as No. 4. and tht- regular westbound train No. 11.

No. 4 was a heavy vostibuled train made up ef an accommodation car, a day coach and a sleeper. No. 11 was a double-header with nine coaches, the tirst two of which were tilled with Italian emigrants for Colorado. Engineer's Story.

Engineer Strong of trie eastbound limited saw the light of the approaching train while yet live miles away and down a straight track. He did clu ck his speed, because, as he said, he supposed No. 11 was waiting on a siding at Sand Creek. After reaching Detroit today Strong said: "I read my orders that I was to stop at Sand Creek, and evidently the other crew read theirs to stop at Seneca. 1 know that there were four of us that, read my orders the same; the fireman, the conductor, brakeman and myself.

I lost my (irtlers in the' confusion of the wreck. but the records will show what they were and what the other crew's or-tlt rs were. "When I first saw the headlight of the other train it was far enough away so I presume I could have stopped, but you know how it is with these electric headlightsyou cannot tell anything about how far away they It was on a straightaway track and 1 thought they were waiting for me at Sand Creek. They doubtless thought we were stopped at Seneca, and so both of us cmne on at full speed. "We must have been running fifty miles an hour.

When I saw that were on top of us I saw 1 must jump. There was a bridge right ahead and 1 tii.l not want to fall in that, so I waited until we were past it and fell. There-was only a slight embankment, ami the came right after I let go. I rolled fully three rods. When 1 came to.

there was my engine on one side of me ami the trucks of the second car, which was telescoped, on the other." Superintendent Euros today said that Engineer Strong of train No. 4 was responsible. "His orders," said he, "clearly directed him to pass train 11 at Seneca. He evidently forgot them for he did not stop there- and the collision Loss of $18,000.
