Among the wreck victims were two members of a party of over fifty yeung men and boys who had been camping at Cobbosseecontee Lake, Maine. They had broken camp and were on their way home. Besides the two members of this party who were killed, six were injured. The two killed outright were Albert Green, of New York, a member of the camp faculty, and William Altschult, twelve years old, of Norfolk, Va. Those iajured were: Bytvan, Altschult, Norfolk, Va., dislocated shoulder and brulsed back. Richard Altschuit, Norfolk, Va., bad gash on heaf. Joe Blumenthal, fourteen, New York, cut and bruised on forehead. Richard Frank, twelve, New York, cut extending across scalp. Robert Bolger, twenty, Philadelphia, dislocated arm. F. A. Seidler, a Dartmouth College student, was one of the camp coun- @ellors to escape with slight injuries. His skin was broken in many places and bis clothing was torn. He told a vivid story of the horrors of the ‘wreck. LOCOMOTIVE CRASHED BY BERTH. | “I had got up and put on my trousers and had lain down across the | » berth,” he said, “when I heard a noise as if it were escaping steam. In|? @a instant I realized we were in a wreck and I saw the curtains of my compartment brushed aside by the locomotive that had ploughed its way through two cars and turned a third one topsy turvy and had rammed the end of the fourth car, in which I occupied compartment No. 1. I put on my shoes and broke ovt the window. When 7 got out I saw trainmen waving their lanterns in the fog and heard the cries and groans of the injured and dying. “I first came to a girl who had been caught under a piece of the wreck- age. I pulled her out and then she asked me to find her sister who was in the same berth. I found her under some wreckage as she was makin, her last gasps for breath. 1 did not learn their names. “One of the most remarkable sights | saw was a boy twelve years old who had the flesh stripped off both legs, leaving his bones exposed from his hips to his feet. In spite of this he was conscfous, but his cries of pain were fearful. | helped the doctor wrap the mangled flesh around the bones in a bandage and then put the boy on a stretcher. BODY IN TENDER OF LOCOMOTIVE. “Ome body was found on the tender of the locomotive that plowed its way through the wooden cars.
