RAILROAD HORROR OF
PECULIAR CHARACTER.
Caused By a Burning Passenger Car
Running Into a Tunnel Filled With
Inflammable Gas, Dust and Smoke
Ventilation of the Subway Was Im
perfect and Insufficient.
Paris. Aug. 11. Not until 7 this
morning wore men able to penetrate
the tunnels at Menllmontnnt. nenrest
station to the sceno of last night's
catastrophe.
On the stairs were seven corpses of
persons who smothered while buying
tickets. Further on wns the body of
the agent near tho wicket door of the
ticket booth. The fumes at this point
were so denso tho firemen were un
able to penetrate farther. At Couron
ness station corpses were strewn at
every step.
Ninety Persons Dead.
At T this morning 45 bodies had
been removed to the surface nnd
within the next hour 37 more, making
a total of SO. The victims lino left
tho train, evidently trying to rench
the open ulr when asphyxiated. The
bodies were convulsed, ninny holding
handkerchiefs to their mouths. Facet,
were swollen nnd distorted and in
many caht'H the skin was ncclod off.
The victims were equally divided
between men. women nnd children.
Rome were handsomely dressed and
evidently prominent, but few Identi
fications hnve as yet been mnde.
Tho terrible mortality wns caused
by gas nnd smoke having no means
of egress except through stnlrways.
Warned Eighteen Months Ago.
Eighteen montliB ago the Paris fire
department warned the officials of
the Metropolitan railway to put In air
holes the entire distance of the tunnel
In order to allow the fumes to escnpo.
The order was Ignored.
As the forenoon advanced bodies
recovered from the tunnel entrance
were temporarily laid in a long line
awaiting liearses and ambulances An
Immeiit.o crowd surrounded tho
morgue. Thirteen bodies hnve been
Identified, but 20 were burned beyond
recognition.
Tho exploration of the tunnel pro
gresses slowly and with extreme pre
caution, as a collapse of a portion of
the street Is feared. Hero and thoro

Started From a Burning Car.
Official inquiry Is proceeding, Tho
most vivid and consistent version Is
by Stntion Master Dldler. of tho Cour
ronnes section. He suld;
"Train 43, disabled before reaching
Uarbes. was emptied, tho passengers
walking to tin stntion, whero another
train was coupled oil to tho disabled
one to clear tho track. It ran by four
stations rapidly. At Couronnes, flames
were seen Issuing from tho floors and
Mdes of tho car. I motioned desper
ately, crying, 'Stop, you can't reach
the terminus.' Tho mechanics In
charge shouted, 'Leave us alone We
; can do it.'
I "The train swept Into the tunnel.
I Menllmontant was almost reached
1 whim n violent explosion was heard,
instantly eight cars were aflame,
leaving tho employes barely time to
Jump and run for their lives. Tho
flames, rising to tho top of the tun
nel, melted the electric wires, throw

tho lurid glaro of the conflagration.
Trulu 48 arrived Just then filled
witli passengers and stopped 300
yards from tho fire. A panic followed,
Somo tried to run to Belleville sta
tion others Tor Couronnes. Some es
caped while others fell asphyxiated."
Scenes of Horror.
Another witness, a passenger nam

desperately, Jumped to tho track nnd
started to lleo. Woman and children
were trampled under foot nnd strick

that he ran over prostrate persons,
and said if he had had 30 feet farther
to go ho could not have saved his
own life.
Coolness and Heroism.
One Instance of heroism and cool
ness was the station agent nt Hollo

stricken people and implored calm

Great Damage Was Done to Property,
But There Were No Fatalities The
Cause of the Explosion is Unknown
Supposed Hobo Origin.
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 11. An Is
olated packing house, belonging to the
Dnpont Powder Company, exploded
with terrific force this morning. Tho
accident occurred at an hour when
no one was supposed to he In tho
building, although at nn hour later 11
would have been filled with workmen.
There Is somo reason to believe that
someone wns In the building at tho
time, as tiny shreds of llesh and faint
sprinklings of blood hnve been found
at a long distance, which must have
belonged to a person either In or
close by tho structure. Tho most
phiiiBlblo theory Is that tho explosion
was caused by some hobo lighting his
pipe or attempting to start n flro
without knowing tho character of tno
stiucture he wus cither In or adjacent
to.
The building ws made of sheet
slcel, fragmentH of which weio em
bedded In wnlls and embankments n
mile nway. Other pieces were shot
through walls as though fired from a
cuntion, Owing to tho peculiar con
struction of tho building, tho walls
and roof merely attached by gravita
tion, not being bolted, tho dnmago to
tho building was Inconsiderable
though 30 tons of xmiler exploded
and burned. As In the case with ull
Dupout warehouses, tho walls and
i oof will need comparatively little re
pairing, being for the most part Intact
although widely separated nfter the
explosion.
