(Continued from First Page.) lar wreck on tin No-v Haven a ear ago. The wreck at that time resulted Irom the same causes. Extraordinary scenes attended the disaster. 1 he locomotive turned a com. plate somersault. The baggage car Im mediately behind It was catapulted over the top of the englno and landed twen ty feet In front. An automobile standing near the track at the time of the explosion aim overturned by the concussion and Its occupants thrown out. Trees were up rooted, chickens beheaded. Agonizing scenes followed. Men with their clothing aflame battled to wrench free women who were pinned down In the burning wreckage. Crowds of res cuers stood hv helpless to aid vlrtlrri who could plainly be seer. In the flam- ( ing cars. Saw Victims Perish. X Leopold Spiegel, a leather merchant, of K Gold street. New. York, gives a thrlllng description of the wreck. Seat ed In an automobile alongside the rail road track, he was an eyewitness. Tho concussion of tho boiler explosion hurled him from tho machine. He and a friend were the first men to reach the wreck. Thev found four young girls, all pupils of the Boston Conservatory of Music, pinned In a Pullman car. They aided In the rescue of one. The other three, he states, were burned to death. He saw four other persons roasted alive. His storv follows: "I was waiting with a friend, a Mr, Bullvan. of Westport, In an automo bile at the Westport and Saugatuck sta tion, when the express came along. We lemarked that It must be running fifty mites an hour. "When the engine had reached a point about a cltv block distant from tho depot. It gave a mighty swere. as If It had taken a switch. Then the greai driving wheels on the side nearest to us semed to fly outward from the cab. Tho engine gave a great lurch, dartod oft the track, and fell on ono side, across the rails. "The baggage car was Immediately back of the engine. It hurdled Into the air, leaped clear over the engine, and landed on all four trucks. The weight of the car was so great that Its lloor Plunged down oer the wheels so that the body of the car sat upon the ground as If It had no wheels or trucks be neath It. Tho big car shivered and hedged Into the roadbed. Heard Heartiending Cries. 'At that Instant tho boiler exploded. It was pa If a mlghtvilast of dynamite had been detonated Immediately beneath our feet. I was thrown clear of the automobile. All men and women In sight. Including half a hundred on the station platform, were thrown to tho ground. Windows were shattered. The heads wero torn off scores of chickens. Tho engine bell was afterward found In a hen coop fortv rods away. "In an Instant Bulllvan and I recov ered and scrambled to our feet. We ran with several other men toward the wreck, now enveloped In a dense cloud of steam. "We found the first parlor car had re. malncd upon the track. Steam was pouring from every window. We could hear groans and heart-piercing scriums from within. Occasionally men leaped from the envelope of steam. Thesa had scrambled throuch tho windows. The cries were from unfortunates pinned In tho wrecked seats. "Through tho apor fnlllvau and I soon saw a fctaro like "j big electrlo light trying to shine throuch a dtns'a 'fog. Then a gust of .wind iwopt ) (hs veil and we grew sick. We saw that the tight was burning debris In'tha'In; terlor of the car. ' ""Aa'we dashed to the front tit the car we heard a man crying for aid. We saw a brae fellow at a wlndoW-tr)'" lo push a young woman'thrcugh It.' We dragged her thiotign and she fell down senseless between us. , "The mtn he was forty, tall and ath leticcalled that three other girls were there. lie said hs could not get them out alone, but belluvid he c6uld hand them out 1 to us, If he got out of tho window and roi'iiwd In for , "We shoutod-that we 'would catch the girls as he dropped them out. The chap got through the window. Wrap ping his cost, sleeve about something In the car, he roped the other sloeve un der his shouldefs as a sort of sling to support his own body. 'We- saw him dlv down" headfore most into the Are for-ono of tho Klrls. Ihen wa heard him. cry out a terrible exclamation. His white face appear ed above us, grisicd with ismoke. Ills hair was singed. My flod!' he screamed. They are fastened down and are burning and I cannot gut tbem loose." "It aeemed only a' second before a great belch of flame and smoke shot out all around him, and he fell down right on top of ms, unconscious Ills clothing was afire. We dragged'lilin free. In another Instant' the big oar creaked Irr every timber. Then llks a big. .tired thing. It leaned heavily over and, toppled, upon tts sldo. Through .the whirling, air currents that for a moment cleared the,' view, we could see the trio of screaming young women. They, were pinned down by the two front seats.' Wo watched jthem burn to death, power less to save them. "Hv that tlmo a great crowd had come, from nearly factories and resi dences. The workmen. of the factories wore neroes. i rccaji a nana ok Italian workmen who' were among the first. Tugglpg at a' Una of hoso thev drartred' from a 'factory, these brave Italians worked"thelr way Into a blazing car through the rear end and fought the flames at the sides of me injured. "We saw another girl and a woman die, pinned down there, just before the rescuers were beaten .back. W saw the Italians wrench one man loose from the grip of a wrecked Piill man chair. He died, a charred mass. in the arms of his rescuers, we saw them and others bring' at least twen ty persons out Into the n-lr. Many worn badly Injured. All were' suffer ing irora ine sraoKe ana nre, out tney were saed. , "The. second and third Pullman cars toppled ever on their side when the engine blew up. The buffet smoking car on the rear of the train was on Are when we turned our attention away from the first Pullman. The passengers, however, had escaped from the rear car. The word spread nulcklv' that all passengers were out of the other Pullmans, and that the onlv victims were In the flrrt i-ar. "I cannot tell how many died. I saw four girls, one woman, and one man burn to death In the first car. and the death of one woman In the second car. Later I saw three bodies upon a lawn. Whether or not they were among the seven I had seen die I did not know. Five or six Injured persons were also upon the lawn. "Mv friend and I afterwa'nl found the brave 'fellow who saved the girl from the forward car. He told us he did not know the names of the four young women or their home addresses. , He said that they were four students at the Boston Conservatory of Music. "The one he saved said she lived In New Haven. When she recovered her senses, although burned and bleeding she Insisted upon being taken home ( ainea in placing ner on.ooarn mo iruiu, "One of the Italian worltme who tried to save Imprisoned pasen gers, clutched the hand of an Imprison ed woman. "Take this,' he herrt her scream. Just before he was ilrUen bhik. When he had backed Into the reviving air. he found that he haad grcped-a plain gold band ring marked Ith the name 'Barker.' One of the train officials took possession of the ring. 'Two doctors from Stamford and one frpm Westport were soon on the s-ene working with the injured. I remained about .two hours; at the end of, that tlmo a wrecking train hod not arrived. All of the cars behind the engine and baggage cars were burned to ashes."
