Only two additional bodles haye been found to- day, and these, with the thirty-four found yes- terday, are probably ull that will be recovered. The rest are so completely destroged by fire that they cantot be separated or removed. Of the tliirty-six recavered thirteen are thought to be recognized. The names arc scnt by the Asso- ciated Press. Awong them are the remains of Dr. A. H. Washburn, Rector of Grace Church, Cleveland, whose death bas thrown a pall of sodness over that community. Dr. Wasbburn had been Rector of Grace Church for more than cleven -yeurs, and was wldely reapected and beloved. Meme- rub servives were held, 4 she Eplscgpal churches of that city to-niglit. 'The remafus of the dead Rector were taken to Cleveland by & special tran, arriving 10 o'clock to-night. Among the wounded taken to Cleveland Saturday night several have been Interviewed, aud furnish EHE POLLOWING STATEMENTS! Mr. A, Burnham, who s belng cared for at the Huron Street Hospital, in Cleveland, {s the traveling agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt. Paul Ruitruad. e s an intelligent gentleman, 55 years old, and was fortunate Iln escapiug with no more serious injurics than a palnful contuslon of the right fuot aud some quite wevere brulses on the left side of the body. At the time of the catastrophe Mr. Burnham was in the smoking-car, occupyiog s seat about inld- way of the car, fn_company of Mr. David Chit- tenden, Cleveland Agent of the New York Central Rallroad. The latter sitting next tho window, he was first alarmed by 7THE VIOLENT BIAKING OF TILE CAR, fndleating that {t had left the track, and ho thinks that he instinctively clutched the arm of the scat. At the same moment Mr, Reid, Mr. Stone, and the conductor, Mr. Henn, sprang up, and, inmedlately following, there came u terrifle shock., Mr. Burnham states that he did not, for u moment, lose his consclousnces, and realized that the car was fulling, It scemed an e before it struck. veral almost deafenlug crashes followed raplily, flilng Mr. Durnbam's mind with the apprehiension that something would fall upon him, and, fecling ntiout, he, found that he hud been thrown amongst o uass of debrls beneath which were two men, Hegot up, and, on examinatlon, FOUND BOTH MEN WERE DEAD. About this thme Mr. Reld had got hold of Mr. Tilden, who was apparcntly llfeleas, and was en- deavoring to pull bl up, calling him repeatedly by same. Mr, Buruham went to the assistance of Mr. Reld, and the two succeeded In removing Mr, Tilden, who was stil} in an unconscious von- Qition. Mr. Reld went away, but speedily re- turncd, and Mr. Tilden, having fn the mean- while parthally recovercd, was conveyed to w Dlace of safety, Mr. Buruham heard s cry for fielp from under a piteof shattered thubers, sud, turning back, he found a man struzeling to free Dimself from thebrokenand splintered mass that beld him firmly down. Mr. Burnham endeav- ored to get hold of hiny, but found it fmpossitle 1o do wo, 83 the advanciug firc was now flashing i hisface and tnoking rapld progress towards him. Howas compelled to leave the unhappy man to TOE TEURIBLE PATE of belog burned alive, 3r. Burnham saw the necessity now of securing Lls own sefety, aud cltiubed or clambered out of the remains of the smoking<car ou to the botzom of another car, lere he saw two micu with thelr beads protruding from @ mass of dehrls, and who appealed to him for help. He pulled the ope nearest to hium out und helped him away, the man's leg belng broken, ‘Tho otber succceded fo extri- eating himself. Mr. Burnbam then’ got out himself, sud now first beconuing fully consclous of his hurts, sought a place of safety where he might beable to secure the needed attention. Regardlug TIIR PATE OF XK. CUITTENDEN, wha occupled the seat with Mr. Burmham, the Iatter gentleman thinks that he was thrown among the timbers aud ahuost fostantly crashied to death, aud that his bLody was doubtless burued. Mr. Burnbam cx- presses himself as fully convinced that the sioking-cur was off the track before the bridge frave way, sud probably the rear locomotive and several other cars, the bresking of the bridge belug i consequence of the Leavy pounding thus created. ANOTUEH CASE was that of a yorug ludy who was fastened in the wrecked tlnbersup to her waist, Halfa dozeu stalwart men bad respouded to Ler ap- peal for Lelp, but their jolut eorts for soms moments promised to be unavailiog. The fire that was rapidly advancing toward her rendered her almost frantic, and she screamed to the men to persist In thelr efforts to rescue her, 8ho was finally dragged forth, her clothing from her waist down and her shoes and stockings being torn from her, and, In this way, she waded knee deep In the snow for nearly half s mile to & place of safety. ANOTHER INCIDENT was that of a man who escaped trom the wreck with his clothes all ablaze, and ran as if mad. The crowd on tbe bank yelled to him to throw himseltinto the snow, but he took no heed,and then some one shouted to those near him to knock him down. Tle was shoved down, but rising lnstantly turned his face toward the burn- ing wreck, plunged into it and was lost. 1t was a case of utter frenzy. FPETER LIVENBROE, fireman of the englne Columbis, which went down in the wreck, dled st Cleveland of con- gestion of the lungs. e was found under the wrecked engine, with 500 pounds of fron resting on Lis body, causing fnternal Lruises which re- sulted in lis death. A reporter of the Cleveland Leader, sent to Etie Pu., interviewed Danfel McGulre, engineer of tue leading locomotive, which Uroke leose from the train and escaped the fate of the other enginc and care. Hels TIE ONLY GNHURT MAN WO SAW THE WHOLR of the tragedy and under the most favorable crcumstances. Danfel McGuire, engineer of the Bocrates, states that bis engine was ahead of the Columbin. All statiuns between Erle and Ashtabula, with the exceptlon of three, were stopped at, the traln runniog slow. He felt the Urldge give away when two car-lengths from the west end; felt It settle down; had his hand on the throttle, and pulled it wide. The drawbar connecting the cngines was suspped py the sudden Jerk. The trucks of lils tank did not clear, and scttled down, but the opening wide of the throttle saved the ene gluc, and the trucka were pulled on. He ran up the track 100 yards and GAVE THE ALARX by repeated whistlcs and ringing of the bell Hesaw the cogine Columbla sink with the bridge and turn bottom upward. The express, ‘baggage, and passenger cars followed in o hieap, the passenger cars landing on the express cars. All went Into the river. Fire first broke out in the last sleeper, which swunz over to one side and soom was In 8 blaze. In two or three ininutes the entire wreck was n mass of flames. The shiricks of the living and the groans of the dying were terrible to bear, but thelr voices were roon hushed as the firc-king embraced them, He further suys: “1was X ONE OF THE FIRST AT THE WRECK, palled several out of the ice, and Lelped to ex- tricate some from the debrie. One womau was ploned down by her legs una burn- ing car. Her cries for help were piteous; and in despalr, as the flames circled around her, she shricked: ‘Take an ax and cut off my legs.’ But it was Impossible to reach her, and she was consumed. The pafut on the burnldg cars snapped lke powder, scar- ing many workmen, I couldn't cstimate the number bured, but think one hundred per- fshed by flame and water. Many were killed outright. WERE THEY MM AND Xn3. ntisst A hushand and wife in the burning wreck were held down by obstructions and calmly awaited their fute. Thelr lips moved us if in prayer. Nelther pen nor tungue can deserive the horrors of the scene. In twenty minutes after the fire started it was impussible to extrl- cate passengera.” The engineer of the Columbin, “wPap™ Folsom, of Cleveland, says his engine turned bottom upward, e was thrown vlo- lently through the window of the cab, He was badly cut. Maguire helped pick him up, brulsed and bleeding, His first words were, 4 ANOTHRIL ANGOLA JORIOR, DAN." The traln was running at the rate of ten miles an hour at the time. 'The bridge was considered safe. Passenger train No. 8, with two engines, had passed safely over the bridge atabout 7 o'clock. Ilis train struck the bridge at 7:82 He thinks the frosty weather andtha heavy tralu suapped the bridge. 8ix engines had tested the bridge without straining it, At the time of the accident the storm was at {ts height. He could not see two cors’ lengths ahend of his engine, and this rendered 1t next to impossible to give fmmediate nasistance. e thinks no one would liave escaped from the doomed train had he not saved his englne, thus enabling bim to give the alarm, Terrible, Indeed, would It have been 5 LAD THE SOCRATES GONE OVER in the blinding, furlons storm.
