Tiffin, Dec. 4. — The ground was cov
ered with snow wh?re the collision oc
| curred, one mile from town and nearly
I half a mile from any dwelling and at U
i o’clock this morning. A relative of one
; Bradley, prominent ns a Knight of Labor,
from Washington, while the flames were
bursting from the car windows which
had been broken in the crash of
i the collision, by some means put out his
■ hand and threw his watch and pocket
; book to those whom be could see on the
| outside. He was penned on the inside
and was being roasted alive, but those
| who saw him were unable to render him
| the least relief. They could hear the
I f renzied and horror stricken man ns ho
i madly endeavored to burst the bar-
I rier that held him in his fiery
I prison. The charred remains of
. the express messenger consisted simply
of two thigh bones, which were found in
the debris of the car. The engineer and
fireman of the freight reversed their en
gine and jumped for a snow bank. The
engineer of tbe express reversed his tn-
I gine and sprang to the left. The fire
man endeavored to get out to the right,
but being overcome with fright fell close
1 to his crushed engine and was badly
burned but not beyond recognition. His
1 body has been placed in a neat cas
ket and is now at the undertakers
iat Republic awaiting the arrival
of his relatives. There has been a steady
| stream of citizens from all parts of the
, county going to and returning from the
i wreck. It is reported that Congressman
■ Seney, who has been at home for the past
' few days on business, was on the wrecked
j train, but such is not the case. The judge
i did not leave the city until this morning
■ and is safe and sonnd.
