The disaster was in every respect an unusual one.

The cars were lighted within by frail kerosene Iaimps In the ordinary man- her, and the passengers, unmindiul of approacning danger, were in some cases dosing carelessly In their seats and tn others chattlug merrily among them- selves, and, perhaps, in many instances, indua- triovely arranging for an excursion or come other pleasant event on the following Sabbath. All at once a rumbling noise was neard and those who were in the rear of tho car conld not fall to have been suddenly apprised of the TERRIGLR AND SUDDEN DEATH whieh was so rapidly approaching.

As the news spread through Chelsea hundreds of Povple in single teams and job wagons rigged up hastily, and on foot, led by curiosity, repaired to the Scene of the disaster, Most of those whose injuries were likely to prove fatal in a few moments wero taken into dwelling nouses in the immediate soene of the disaster, One man, who insisted thas his wounds were of little account, expired instantly, while expostulating with his friends for carrying himd instead of allowing him to walk.

The scene at the Town Hall to-day, where had been placed seven of the bodies which were an- claimed, was one which, I trust, never again to be compelled to witness, The bodies, blackened and distorted as they were, had been brought from the depot like so many logs and thrown down carelessly ontne rough board floor.
