G. H. MEADE, sever cut In bend and Can Dashed with Blssd, The acene of the holocaust preaented a bleak and desolate appearance today. Strewn long both aides of the track for 500 feet were car wheels, brake beams, and uch other pirtn of the wrecked coaches as would not burn. Two engines were lying: in the ditch on the right band of the road, vert Labia scrap heaps.

Broken cars, many of them daubed with the blood of their last occupants, were scattered about and being used as cushions by those huddled around ths open fires about the acene. Farm en for miles around drove cases bringing their wives and families with ter viewing (he debria scattered Alans ths track fhp-v vnaM walk ihrjuivh fields to the house where Giovanni Folonaro, one of the Immigrants who escaped from the burning cars, was tossing on a bed and mut- tering in his native tongue. When the first relief train arrived on the teene last eight from Adrian, six of the cars In train No. 13 were burning aouereely that t-fce relief party could net- get within several hundred feet of them. They were the bag-gar car, the Immigrant cars, two coaches, and a chair ear.

There was nothing to do bat stand back and wait until the fire burned Itself oat. It was past midnight before a search- of the ruins of the burned cars could be begun. As soon as the heat had subsided sufficiently scores of nen began delving in ths mass. As It was slowly turned over small eri-fp -pieces of these who had per- tehed In the flames were occasionally found. Bodies Bsrsed te Powder.

The largest portion of any body found was a burned trunk. The heat had been so Intense that the ears and their human freight had been reduced to a blackened powder that was blown ahnnf fnr tiit-iJu. rut by the breere." Inside of two hours the Iron works of the ears had all been hauled Into the ditch at either aide of to road. The first relief party on the scene arrived from Adrian fifty -five minutes after the accident and they immediately began work on ths second coach of train No. 4, which was telescoped by th collie ion and reduced to splinters.

The wreck of the coach was Jammed Into a spaeo hardly fourteen feet square. From the ruins of the car the bodies of four men and one woman were pulled out. Train Xo. which was waiting on the sidetrack at Sand Crsek. kila-r fvnwt vr from Detroit, was run up to the scene as soon as ths accident was reported and on this train practically all ths Injured from ths west-bound train were loaded and started for the company's hospital at Peru.

Ind. A relief train from Montpelier. Ohio, took more of the Injured from the- east-bound train and also started for Peru with them. Pending the arrival of these ambulance trains the Injured, as fast as they were extricated, were placed In two sleepers, attached to train No. 13.

or takea to the house of Ben Hubs, whlsh is within 106 yards of where the collision occurred. At o'clock the bodies of the dead, together with the few fragments that bad been dn? out from the burning cars, wera loaded aboard a car and takea back to the morgue at Adrian. At 4:19 the body of Fireman Calvin Bal tort was Jammed Into the wrecked cab of his engine. No. 151.

From the posltloa of his body had evidently been ia the act of feeding the furnace wh tn the two. trains came together. Ills body was badly crushed, but stijl recognizable. At 7 o'clock the wreckers removed the lat plec-of wreckage from the tracks. It was engine 151.

Although considerably warpnd and bent, ita wheels were still true esough to that they kept the track after tha engine had been pulled back on the rails. sr. J- it was towed to the Sneca side track, Tie cab of enrine 8, which had boon forced on top of engine 151 In the collision, vas still resting there. Ths trains which crashed together were ths continental limited, east bound, known an No. 4, and ths regular west-bound train.

No. 13. No. 4 was a heavy vestibuled train made cp of an accommodation car, a day coach, and a sleeper. No.

13 waa a double-header withnlna coaches, the first two ot which wero filled with Italian immigrants for Colorado. Although Engineer Strong of the east bound limited aaw the light cf the approaching train while yet soma five mile away, and down a straight track, he did not check his speed, because, as h- eald. ho supposed No. 13 was waiting on a aiding at Sand Creek. After reaching Detroit today Strong said: "I read my orders that I waa to stop at Sand Creek, and evidently the other crew read theirs to atcp at I know that there 1 wer four of -us that read" my orders, the same the fireman, the conductor, brakeman and myself.

I lost my orders in the confusion of the wreck, but the records will ahow what they were, and what the other crew's orders were. When I first saw the headlight ot the other train it was far enough away so I presume I could have stopped, but you know how It Is with these electric headlights you cannot tell' anything about how far away they are. It was -on a straightaway track and I thought they were waiting for me at Sand Creek. They doubtless thought wo stopped, at Seneca, and so both of us came on at full speed. "We must have been running fifty miles an hour.

When we saw that they were on top of us I saw I mutt Jump, There was a bridge right ahead, and I did not want to fall in that, so I waited until we were past It and fell. There was only a stlgnt embankment, and the crash came right after I let go. rolled fully three rods. When I came to there was my engine, on one side of mo and the trucks of the car, which was tele- scopca, on tne other." Holds. EKlaec Beaponalnle.

Superintendent Burns today said that Engineer Strong of train No. 4 was responsible. "His orders." said J'dearly directed him paas train No. 13 at Seneca. He exl- a-nuy forgot them, for ho did not stop there.

ana tne collision resulted. Superintendent Burns estimated the finan cial loss to the Wabash at 148.000. The three engines piled themselves In an lndiscrim inate heap, with the leading engine of No. 13 aoovo the other two. Th first three coaches of the train were so telescoped that they were nothing but a mass of debris.

One im migrant car was compressed Into a compass about eight feet In length on the track. The names started below tho Immigrant cars, and here the heaviest loss occurred. It being estimated that about fifty persona men. women, and children w-ere mowed down by ths holocaust. The toss in the rest of the train was not heavy, the shock being borne by the iorwara cars.

In No. 4 the engine was followed by an ear. -This was stout and bore the shock bravely. The leading day coach of the train, however, telescoped and burned. In this were about -fifty passengers.

The brunt of the early rescue work was done here, and probably half of these passengers were rescued or escaped. Both engineers escaped alive, but their firemen met death in the oulverinr mass of iron and steel Engineer Work is in great pain from scalding, a broken nose, end scalp wounds. He Is unable to talk.

Dunlop was among th first pas- stngers on the west-bound train to. aid in the work or rescue and Ufa saving. "Our train, known as No. 13. left Detroit three hours late," Dunlop said.

The train was composed of a baggage car, aa express two im cars, and five Pullmans. started oat with two engines but whea fifteen minutes out of Xe troll one engine broke down and after a delay a freight engine was substituted for th disabled oae, A little later another delay was encountered. When the engine struck th level straight track at Sand Creek. It was apparent that the 'engineer was trying to makeup lost time. I should Judge that ws wer running at a rat of a mile a I was seated In the second Pullman from ths end th trala and ia the rear on "the south aid -of th When two and one- half miles out of Sand Creek without an instant's warning I felt a terrific Jar and was thrown over the seat in front of me.

The dosen other persons in th car wer thrown from their seats but I noted at a glaaee that son was Injured. "Every person la th coach realised that the train was wrecked and all hurried front the car. 1 saw as I stepped to the ground that we were la collision with, aa eastern- bound train. The women who had come out of the Pullmans were running about screaming sna some or them attempting to cjimo over tne wirs renc which Inclosed tba.rallroaS track. Wemaded titer Cries of Terror.

''Our engines and th on pulling the east ern-bound train wer demolished and piled upon each other. Th baggage, express car, and th head immigrant car war in flames. Th cries of ths wounded and those cruahad in th Immigrant cars war terrible. I waa clos by these Immigrant cars within two minutes after th wrack. The front ear had been crushed into a space of ten feet.

The cars wer not -telescoped. but- Jammed to All the occupants of the immigrant cars were Italians who did rot apeak English. Tbelr cries and the about of the trainmen and passengers I shall never forget. As the flames crept forward the cries of the im prisoned immigrants died out. Death had come to relieve their arony.

Th sides ot this car had turned outward. Whenever saw a leg-or an arm we tojk hold and tried to pull th body out of th wreck.

Th pitiful cries urged oa our efforts, and knowing that tho flames would soon envelop this car. th rescuers worked with a grim determination. Aa fast aa an Immigrant was pulled out of th wreck passengers stood ready to carry him to th rear Pullmans, If he appeared to only Injured, or to lay him on th embankment beside the track. if It. appeared that he waa dying or dead.

Many of those in tho second car es caped without Injury, but they were so terror stricken that they rendered no aid la rescu lng their fellows. They climbed th fences and took to th prairies, as did some of th other passengers. When any one shouted at th Immigrants scaUered over th prairies thla only added to their terror and sent them flying wildly about, EacUerr Roasttaa: AIlv. "Tbe work of rescue, so far as the Immigrants ia tho second car was concemel, lasted less than two minutes, for In this time that car was burning, and. having no means at hand to fight the flames, the rescuers were driven cack.

"Within a few minute after tho collision found the engineer ot our train lying within a few feet of his engine- Escaping steam waa literally roasting him alive. We carried him back to one of th rear Pullmans, and ther told us that he had order to pasa tho west-bound train at Seneca. Th conductor of the east-bound train I also talked with. He said that his orders wer to pasa tho west-bound train at Sand Creek. time we had laid out five bodies oa the embankment and had carried th' en gineer to the rear Pullman, the Pullman next to the immigrant car was burning.

All th wounded from our "train wer In tho rear Pullmana, and there th passengers who wer uninjured washed and dressed their wounds a beat they could. Farmers from th surrounding country soon arrived on the scene and aided in th work of rescue. "There was no telegraph office near, so that a delay of about two and one-half hours occurred before an engine from Seneca ar rived on tbe scene with doctors. As the front three Pullmans were burning th rear two were detached and pulled away from the wreck. Jb rom this, tlm railroad officials with physicians and nurses arrived every re minutes.

Corbett cam back pluckily with a left on the body, which was with a right over th heart from his opponent.

Whtl Corbett kept his head and seemed to bore in better, his body blows were appa rently no stiff er than those of his opponent. However, kept on forcing McGovern half across the ring ana finally Terry forgot his defense. He simply ssw a hurricane of blows coming toward him and there was no guard lng on his part.

Harry Forbea ot thla city was then sweep ing all before him In th bantam-weight class and the Chicago lad waa matched with th new star. Much to the surprise of th local fistic fans McGovern knocked Forbes out In fifteen-rounds. A string of unbroken victories followed, and In 1899 he won the bantam-weight hampionshlp of th world by knocking out Pedlar Palmer, th then un defeated champion.
