TUNNEL DISASTER IN PARIS BRINGS DEATH TO SCORES Terrifying Scenes Are Reported When Cars Burst.. Into Flames. PARIS. Oct. 5. A rear-end collision of two suburban trains In the half mile tunnel leading to the St. Lazare railroad station Wednesday night led to terrifying scenes and the death of many persons bound on their homeward journey from Paris. The wrecked cars burst into flames, and the disaster va made all the more terrible by the explosion of a gas reservor. At a late hour Wednesday night 16 bodies had been recovered. Twenty persons are known to have been perlously Injured, and 60 others were slightly injured. This, however, gives no idea of the extent of the disaster, because the firemen and others en-gaced-in the work of rescue have been unable to get any distance within the tunnel, owing to the gas fumes. The fire opread with great rapidity and for a time cries of distress and the moans of the dying were heard on all sides but these finally were silenced, through the - crackling of the blazing wooden coaches could till be heard. The firemen under Col. Hivert, were not prepared for the barrage of P hem as they as tney reacnea ine scene. Finally they succeeded in playing four streams on tho last coaches at the St. Laare end of tho tunnel, but these were empty and not burrrjr. while 17 coaches in the renter of the tunnel, far away from the firemen's efforts, were burning fiercely. At. no time could they gt closer than 500 feet from the inferno. Nevertheless, every now and then a passenger with a blackened face would come ntrnggling out, begging the helpless firemen, police and soldiers to enter the tunnel and save those dying within.
