The fl.ifrman who had been sent to guard the rear sectinn misunderstood the signáis and carne in bef ore the track was clear. The f reight had barely got under motion when the express carne along. The passenger engine was smashed into bits and Engineer Huntington and Fireman Walters were terribly crushed. A combination baggage and smoking-car and a coach took nre immediately after the crash. In the smoker were eight Chinamen. Five were pulled out alive, but half dead from fright. Tliree were never seen after the collision. Bones and bits of charred flesh gathered up in a ba? were all that was found of them. A mist pathetic scène attended the deat'i of little Mary Lyon. She was an orphan and was being sent throupchto relatives in Cherry Creek, N. Y. Edward Peltzer, a passenger on one of the sleepers, took much interest in the little girl and when the crash came pis first thoujjht was of her. He found her wedged down by a seat, the James already surrounaing her. This so unnerved Mr. Peltzer that he threw himself upon the ground and sobbed. Another eye-witness savs that the little girl, whose shrieks were heartrending, released herself just before the fire got to her, and for a moment groped wildly about, then feil over choked by smoke, the Dames quietly coming up to complete the dreadful work.
