2L Twenty-six charred bodies world's fair excursionists lie in the rooms of undertakers here as a direct result of the efforts of railroad magnates to compress into a short space of time the ent're world's fair passenger traffic. It may fee that more lives were lost but so far as can be determined twenty-six includes the total number of the dead. Many were badly injured aud several will undoubtedly die. The terrible disaster was the result of a collision in the yards of the Grand Trunk railroad in the suburbs of this city between 'Z o'clock and 3 o'clock yesterday morning-. Fire which broke out in a moment from lamps in the cars destroyed three passenger coaches and burned the bodies of victims of the collision and probably some of those who might otherwise have escaped.

All of the passengers killed were from the Eaand were on their way to the World's iair to participate in the Manhattan day exercises. It will be days before the names of the dead can be ftslly determined, for in nearly every instance the fire destroyed all means of identification. CAUSED BY DISOBEYING OF ORDERS. A Raymond and Whitcomb special train of Boston passengers returning from Chicag-o in charge of Conductor Scott of this city and Engineer Wool-ley, received ordei-s at this station to meet at Nichols the Pacific express of thirteen coaches, going west, due at this station at 1:35, but which was nearly three hours late. The conductor or engineer, or both, of the Raymond special disobeyed orders, passed Nichols station and collided with the Pacific express coming- west at the rate of about thirty miles an hour.

The two eDgines were driven into each other and totally wrecked. The one on the express was a new Cook engine in use only two weeks. The engineers and firemen when they saw that a collision was inevitable shut olt steam, reversed engines, put on brakes anl all jumped and escaped without serious injury. The first three day coaches of the train going- west wera completely tel escoped, the second coach cutting through the third coach like a knife and the roof passing- over the heads of the sleeping passengers. Fire broke out from the lamps in the cars and soon four were in flames.

All the passeng-ers in the four burned coaches were more or less injured and in one of them No. 13, called the unlucky- coach which had been in several accidents before twenty-six dead bodies were taken from the wreck by the firemen. The dead were found pinched under seats and jammed up ag-ainst the end of the coach by the next coach, which had telescoped it. BODIES CONSUMED BY FIRS. The accident was a mile from the fire station and before water could be turned on the cars were all destroyed and the bodies burne.l so as to be unrecognizable.

In nearly every case heads, arms or legs were burned off, and none can be identified. As the second coach crashed through the third it swept the people into the north end of the car in the vicinity of the stove, where most of the bodies were afterward found. The car immediately took fire and in an instant was all ablaze. The night yardmen and neighbors in the vicinity rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. One passenger escaped from the doorway, but all of the others who saved themselves broke the windows and climbed through.

Three only got out of the left side and about six from the right side of the coach. Mrs. Charles Van Dusen of Fort Plains, N. succeeded in getting half way out of the window, but her Twelve Persons Drowned. St.
