CRIES OF THE DYING. There was an awful crash, the lo- comotive reared u[) and fell into the ditch, tho ibaggagc oar of tb.o ex- pres.<3 telescoped the smoker, and the shrieks and cries of the wounded and liying filled the air. The loss of life is believed to ap- proach to fully ;!0. The injured will iiumlK?r considerabl.v more. The.se lat- ter include many who ma.v die from their injuries. They sustained all numner of hurts, and when they reached the hospital at London were so co\-ered with blood that they could not be recognized. Th*.^ir ap- IK'arance simply beggars description. Many of the dead had .suflered frightful hurts, heails were cut olT. logs were wrenched from the boilies. blood llowed like water and the scene of the carnage became more like the door of a slaughter - liou.se than a mere stretch of snow-<o\e!e;l higliwa.v in the midst of a slcepin,g farinlaiKl.

There was not a hou!-e to be seen an.vwhere through tho storm, and it proved, when ilay light came, that tlx»re was none within a distance loo far to carry the niaiined. Most, for- tunately, the two rullinaii cars on the train did not sustain any dam- age. They were warm and com- fortable, and what were a few mo- ments- before palatial sleeping com- partment.s for scores of wear.v trav- elers, became a teniiHuar.v hospital.
