Paris, Feb. 1.
The express to Calais ran off the rails today at St. Denis. Four persons were killed and fifteen injured.
The express passed through Bt. Denis at sixty miles an hour. The engine was derailed and seven coaches smashed. The gas-tanks caught fire and piercing cries were heard from the blazing wreckage.
Firemen and zouaves were speedily on the spot engaged in the work of rescue. They were aided by searchlight. Up to the present it is known that ten people have been killed and twenty injured but the search for victime es still proceeding.—Reuter.
