THE DISASTER AT HAMILTON

Reason to Think the Number of Killed Will Not Exceed Yesterday's Figures. The Accident Attributed to the Breaking of One of the Axles of the Locomotive Some Distressing Scenes at the Wreck. Hamilton, Ontario, April 29. Only two bodies of persons killed in yesterday's terrible railway accident have yet been identiGed. They are those of T. S. Gurney, of New York, who was on his way homo from Chicago, and Eudolph, J. Ederer, of Chicago, both of whom were instantly killed. Tho twelve persons wounded were taken to the City Hospital, and are all doing well, and it is thought will recover. Andrew J. Carpenter, of Yankton, D. T., and James A. Palmer, of Ilion, N. Y., liavo left tho hospital and aro able to be about. They will leave for their homes today. Hundreds of people have vitited the morgue to-day, but none of the killed have been identified. It is thought that those killed were all strangers, as no persons from Hamilton or its yicinity have been reported missing yet. Of the remains found in tho ruins threo are known to have been women. William Phillips, first baseman of the Hamilton Base-ball Club, who was supposed to have been killed, has been heard from in Chicago, where ho remained over Saturday, instead of coiningon through. Tho tracks are open to-day and all trains are running on time. The Grand Trunk railway workmen, in shifting the remains of the wreck, late this afternoon, in order to give the coroner's jury a distinct idea of the situation of tho tracks at tho scene of tho accident, discovered what was without doubt the cause of the disaster. One of tho axles of tho engine was found to bo broken. The axle had, after the accident, been pitched into the mud and water, and had aiso been somewhat burned, so that it was impossible to tell by examining the broken ends whether the axle had a flaw in the steel, but from the position in which the engine lay after tho plunge into tho water tank it is certain that the axle was not broken by being struck byi anything, either at the time of or immediately after the first crash. The tender of the engine was thrown to one side, and it was that which, got tho full weight of the ten cars behind aud caused them to pitch into a heap. The jury seemed to be of the opinion that the broken axle caused the accident, but, in order to get more light upon the subject, W. A. IJobmson, an expert ia, iron and steel-working, as well as In locomotive engineering, was asked to make an inspection. In order that ho might havo time to inspect and report, the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday night next. The jury viewed the remains of L. 8. Gurney, of New York,' and Kudolph J. Ederer, of Chicago, the only persons killed whoso bodies havo been identitied. Chief Clerk Wallace swore the reports showed tho train to have been ten minutes late at Dnndas, so that, instead of trying to gain time, the train had really lost a little. Tho wheels were examined at Paris, twenty-five miles from the scene Of the disaster. Since the terrible accident at tit. George, fifteen milos from the place where Sunday's horror occurred, train men had imperative orders not1 to try to make up lost time by fast running Coroner Wolveston inspected tho charrou remains very closely, lie says he is sure, there are not the remains of eighteen per-; sons anion? them. He thinks fifteen would be about right, and seventeen at tho out- . side, which will make at the most nineteen deaths from the accident. Most of! these were killed instantly and their re-: mains were burned afterward, but some, it' is certain, suffered intense agonies, being slowly burned to death wnile hemmed in; by portions of tho wreck. All the wounded are doing well in the Hamilton Hospital. James A. Palmer, of Ilion, N. Y., and Andrew J. Carpenter, of Yankton, Dak., left the hospital Sunday night and put up at the Koyal Hotel. They went on to their destinations to-day. Many telegrams have been received fromj different parts of the United States andi Canada inquiring about persons supposed to have been on the wrecked train. The majority of inquiries are from Chicago and places west of there. E. K. Saxton has arrived to take chargo of the remains of L. 8. Gurney, of New York. Following is a list of passengers on the wrecked train who have gone through to their destinations safely: E. B. Borwell, C. Borwell, C. H. Briscal, E. II. Burger. T. K. Creed, S. F. Morse, F. H.

Moore and son; also a young man and woman who would not give thoir names. It is feared that Mr. Curnick, of Chicago, was among those burned to death. A piece of shirt bearing the word 'Curnick" has been found among the charred remains of victims. Mrs. Collins, of Chicago, who, it has been stated, was on tho train, cannot be traced. Among the charred bodies havo also been found two note-books inscribed with the name E. Simons, Pueblo, CoL Their owner is supposed to bo from Poland. An arithmetic bearing the name "Edmund Johnson' has also been found. Constable Bainbridgo brought in a box from tho wreck valuables of all kinds, including gold watches melted into nuggets. The greater portion of the mails from Chicago and other points wero burned. All the mail bags for Hamilton are missing. Hamilton Clark, of Chicago. has a bad out on pne hand, and his legs and arms are injured. He is not doing so well as others in the hospital. M. Crum, of Alverton, Ont, tells the following story of the accident and his escape from the smoking can 'I knew when I awoke to consciousness that the train had been wrecked, and I saw that I was pinned to the ground with portions of the wrecked car, while my left boot was firmly wedged in the engine. One of the two baggage cars had been thrown ahead of the engine, while the other one. or what was left of it, was in splinters and on lire beside the disabled engine, as were also portions of tho smoker in which I had been riding. The ilames were fast and surely working along toward where I lay, imprisomed aud unable to stir. Two gentlemen passengers more fortunate than myself succeeded in removing the timbers that held me down, but the heat caused by the burning cars by that time had become so intense that, still with my foot firmly wedged in the engine-wheel, I begged them to pull me out. even at the risk of tho loss of my leg, and they heroically, in the face of the heat, which was now terrible, each took me by an arm, and at the same time I shall never know how twisted my foot in such a way that I forced it from the engine-wheel, and my rescuers were able to drag me from the threatening fire. Who they were I do not know, as they immediately left to aid others who needed their services more than I did. My deft hand, which you see is bandaged, was nit up on the shattered skull-bones of, I think, thj unfortunate gentleman with whom 1 had been smoking and chatting but a few minutes before. In seeking to twist myself free from my situation my hand came in contact with tho head of this poor victim, which the lurid ilames of the burning car disclosed."Mr. Crum says tho train at the time of tho accident was going at an unusually high speed, the cars swayed strongly from sido to side, and when crossing intersecting tracks and switches the noise made f'ainly indicated the rapid pace at which the train was going. To the high speed he attributes the jumping of the engine which caused tho accident. - A Mr. Cliflord, manager of a theatrical' company, said: "In the coach which was crushed and burned, eighteen persons lost

their lives. Some were killed outright, but there were others so injured as to sutler untold agonies, and died a horrible death. One poor man was caught in the car in such a manner that ho could not bo rescued. The lire was creeping upon him. His feet and lees partlv crushed were burning. He called to Mr. Marks, one of tho members of my company, to end his sufferings. Oh my God said he, 'shoot me! kill me! I can't stand this 6ulloring! I can only live a few moments at best kill me! kill me'.' As the last words left the mouth of tho poor man thej fire had accomplished what the poor victim wished Mr. Marks to do. He threw nis head back and his pleadings stopped. He was dead. This was on ly one of the soul-sickening incidents. Others cried for help, and kept on pleading until their voices were stilled by the Ilames. Fifteen or twenty of the injured who had been rescued from the wreck were quickly placed in a car and taken to Hamilton, only a few miles distant. The station-houso was converted into a hospital and death chamber. A largo number of physicians were promptly summoned, and they were assisted by a score of willing hands. Several persons died in the station while attempts were being made to alleviate their sufferings. 1 saw tbe man who had his arm torn from the socket at the shoulder. Ho lived for a few moments after reaching the station. The body of a nicelydressed man was carried into the station. His head had been cut olF as clean as though he had been guillotined. His head was laid beside his body. Others had their heads crushed in a mass, while others had their legs cut otf and arms mangled. In fact, the victims were cut up in almost every conceivable manner, and with tho dead lay tho dying and badly injured whom tho doctors were trying to save. A number of the injured were sent direct to the Butialo hospitals. The officers of the railway company did not havo anything to say concerning the cause of the wreck. They gave their entire attention to tho care of the injured. There were a number of stories alloat, when wo left, as to the cause of the accident, and the most plausiblo one seemed to be that the tracks had spread." Poor Gaesslng. Youth's Companion. There is nothing, in an examination, like thinking before one guesses, if one is going to guess. In a school examination, for instance, the following question was put: 'In which of his battles was King Gustavus Adolphus killed!" A student very prudently set down this safo reply; "I think it was in his last." This student at least had his wits about him more completely than did the stupid person who is said to have asked Sidney Smith this nuession, at a dinner table: Aw, Mr. Smith! Do vou know in which of his journeys around tho world Captain Cook was lulled his first, or his last!'' Sidney Smith looked up quickly. "I believe it was on his first voyage," said he; "but he doesn't seem to have minded it much, for ho immediately sot out on his second!'
