The telegraph on Wednesday of last week
gave us meagre particulars of a terrible ac
cident on the Lake Shore Railroad, which
occurred on that day near a place called
Aogola, tweuty-one miles front Buffalo, N.
Y., the train from tho West, due at Buffalo
at 1:30, running off the track at that point.
We have the following additional particu
lars: Tho train was tho New York Express,
from Cleveland. It was detained two hours,
by a broken bridge on the Cleveland and
Toledo road, and was composed of three
first-class coaches filled with passengers, a
smoking car and two boggago cars, under
tho conductorship of Mr. H. Frank Slier
man, of Buffalo. Silver Creek was tho last
station stopped at prior to the accident, anil
Angola was passed about threo a clock, tlio
train going, aa it is Btated.'ata speod or
about twenty miles an hour from Angola to
the bridge over Big Sisters creek. How
ever, the road is a down grade, and it is
possible that the train was going at a greater
speed than the aboio when tho casualty oc
curred. Bo that as it, may, everything was
apparently all right when tho bridge was
reached; and when tho train had crossed
half w ay over, a fearful jerk was experienced
by those ou board, and the next moment the
rear coach was detached, and went plung
ing off the bridgo and down the abyss to thu
ice a distance of some thirty or forty feet.
Tho brakes were at once applied, but before
tho train could be stopped, tho coupling of
thu second coach had become broken, und
it, too, got off the track and rolled down
tho embankment. So suddenly hnd all this
happened, that not ono of the in mates of
either of the two coaches had time to make
his escape, and without a moment's warning
some fotty or fifty persons were hurried into
the presence of their Maker. The scene
which was presented to tho eyes of the in
mates of the other cars, when tho train was
stopped, was a fearful one. The car which
first wont over tho precipice took fire in
stantly, and before auy persons could get to
it, the flames mado such rapid headway that
in a few moments it was all ablaze. Those
persons on tho spot proceeded to render all
tue assistance ttiey could, out only some
four or five persons were saved from the
burning car. The remainder, some forty or
fifty men, women and children, were con
sumed with the car. While that portion of
the passengers who had escaped injury gave
their attention to the burning car, the bal
auce attended to the other, which had also
taken fire. Fortunately the flames in tho
latter instance wero extinguished before
they had made much headway, and as speedi
ly as poesiblo the injured, dead and dying
were taken from the car, and with tho few
rescued from the burning coach were con
veyed to residences near at hand. How
many perished in tho burning car it is im
possible as yet to say, and very probably will
not be known for some time. The place
where the first car struck, after being preci
pitated off tho bridge, was difficult of access.
After rescuing the half dozen or so of per
sons before the flames had made much head
way, no attempt was made Wednesday night
to disturb the remains of those who perished
in tho burniug car. That was attended to
Thursday morning.

THK BCKNE.
The last car of the train had no more than
stopped its somersaults before it was on
firb. The nature of the embankment, to
gether with the ice upon the steep declivity,
would not admit of immediate assistance,
even though hundreds of people hud been at
hand, for no ono could go down tho bank
hurriedly without fear of death. The men
who wero first at the scene mauaged to reach
the car by going down, ono holding upon
another, thus formiog a lino from the track
to the cur. But they wero too late. Thu
men, women, and children in the cur had
beeu so severely injured by the fall ond
fright tliLit they were alarmed and helpless,
and before the feeble assistance which was
hastily organized reached them, tho cur was
so fur enveloped iu flumes that their rescue
was impossible. The scene at this time can
not be descrit'd. The voices of men direct
ed to heaven for help, the shrieks and pray
ers oi women asking tor assistance, and the
wailing of children, was the most soul
piercing and agonizing sounds which ever
reached mortal ear. Tho flames were gain
ing rapidly, and arms were protruded
through tho shattered windows, heads wero
extended, and tho cry for help was intensi
fied by the increase of heat, of pain, of agony,
and the certain prospect of destruction. The
reader must picture this scene, we cannot
describe it. Our cars will never lose tho
sound of tho plantive wails, the beseeching
for help, tho heart-rending shrieks, tho fiery
scene and tho last, last look. Tho few men
who could, who wcru not struck dumb,
worKeu mautuuy. itiey succeeded in tak
ing out three persous, who wero removed
elsewhere to die, but they could not subdue
the flames which wero roasting their fellow
beings alive. They could not answer the
prayers of the agonized victims of Death
They coold do nothing but look at tbem
roast, listen to them shriek, sicken at the
sight, and pray God to deliver them from
another such scene. Aa the odor of burning
liesn, uuman liesn, arose upon tho air, it
seemed as though the snot had turned into
a very hell, and when shrieks came from the
flanice and smoke, hands wero held aloft
through the grim atmosphere, tbo world
and flesh seemed a mockery and worn in
reality. Let us close this horrible scene by
saying that from the last information' we
could obtain, but five out of forty of the
passenger iu this car escaped. Tho rest
fully forty were lurned alive I
Meanwhile the other car was more for
tunaip. It did not take Cro. The first man
out of it wus tho conductor of the train, who
wus severely injured. Others came out, and
when assistance arrived many were found
injured unto death. It was toon cleared of
its mortal contents much goouer than tie
fjarutJ could consume tho other car aud its
'eootciitj. As tbo injured oucs crept, or were
brought forth from this car, they were re
moved to th residence of a gentleman near
by,' who threw open bis house and dispatch
ed messenger tor help. At one time we
counted twclvo wounded men and women
ia this house, who appeared to be dying, a
little distance off there was oother house
where several more wore as badly JJr";
All that could be dono by the assistance at
hand was done with a will, but t here were
no physicians, no stretchers, nothing to
afford anything like what the natoro of the
case demanded. ' ' 1 f ' ', ' ' '
Insido of two hours from the time the ac
cident occurred physicians and a coroner
arrived from Buffalo, under order of the rail
road company, and tho physicians immedia
tely set to work with a will. They did
what was in their limited power, but their
assistance availed but little, except in cases
of trifling injuries. Most of tho victims
wero beyond the help of man.
Then came tue iraiuic inquiry aiccr menus,
the rush to and fro of passengers who had
been saved and had frieuds or relatives on
tho train. Tho appeals and importunities
of many of these wo will never forget.
Shocked almost beyond enduranco by the
sccno passing, they could only ask for in
formation in that feeble frantic way which
cannot be answered at such limes to'thcir
satisfaction.- All of tbem found that some
cherished one was missed, but whether dead
or dying could not bo immediately ascer
tained. At tho hotel near tho station was a man
named Hubbard, from St. Catharines, C. W.,
who was cue of the few taken from the
burning car. His feet ond legs were burned
to a crisp. His body was blackened and
blistered to tho waist. His right arm was
torn from the body, and remained attached
only by tho skin. He lay there two long
hours in ngony, und at last death came to
his relief.

We have further and anthentio news from
Madrid In relation to the sale of the Spanish
West Indian possessions. It conveys the
important inlormation that the Spanish
Government has made a formal offer to the
American Minister at Madrid, the Hon. Jno.
P. Halo, to sell the islands of Cuba and
Porto, Rico to the United States for one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars In gold.
The terms of sale are as follows: Fifty mil
lion dollars in gold aro to be paid down in
cash on tho signing of the treaty and the
formal dolivcry of the island to tho authori
ties of the United States. -A second "fifty
million dollars in gold to be paid ono year
thereafter. The third installment of fifty
millions in gold to be paid ot the t?nd of six
tears. Tho public heart is beating" With
anxietv at the announcement, and creat ex
citement prevails, as the- extinguishment of
Slavery Here will ue one ni inc consequences
of this sale. It was hoped by some that
Spain would obolish the institution iu time-
to save ner national pricic. i uc acquisitions
made by the United States from Russiii and
Denmark, that of Louisiana from France,
and of Florida from Spain herself aro now
referred to as ptecedents that leave tho ra
tional honor of Spain in this bargain unas
sailable. Tho sharp scent of Yankeo specu
lation is instanced by the fact that an
Americun company has already, on the
strength of the above reports, purchased
Guuiaba Island, neor Nuevitus. They in
tend to colonizo it, and arc about to put
80,000 acres of it under cultivation. Thus
tbo last hopes of the slavo traders arc gone.
TIIK CAUSE OF Till! ACCIDENT.
When the train ran off tho frog, near the
station, as appeared by thu rail, n broken
flungo caused tho wheel to mount the rail,
which, of course, threw the truck off the
track. -The car seems to have passed over
the road some distance in this manner, until
it neared the centre of the bridge. Here, by
some sudden action, the car was thrown
wide from the track, aud immediately took
the leap to tho abyss below. As it swung
around in the air it threw the second car off
in a contrary direction, and the coupling of
the second car liaving broken, that joining
the two together parted, leaving one car on
tho north aud tho other on the south side
of the track.

U. S. Steamship Monongaiikla, )
St. Cuoix, Nov. 21, 18U7. f
Sir: I have to state, with deep regret
that the United States steamship Monongu
hela, under my command, is now lying on
the beach in front of tho town of Frederick
stedt, St Croix, where she was thrown by
the most fatal eurthquuko ever known here.
The shock occurred at 3 o'clock, p. ui. of
tho lUth inst. Up to that moment the
weal her was serene, aud no indication of a
change showed by the barometer, which
stood 80 degrees 15 minutes. The first in
dication we bud of tho eurthquuko wus a
violent trembling of the ship. This lasted
some 80 seconds, and immediately after
ward tho water was observed to boieceding
rapidly from the beach. In a moment the
current was changed, and bore the ship to
ward the lieuch, carrying out the entire cable
and druwiug the bolts from the kelsou, with
out the slightest effect in cheeking her terri
fic speed toward the beach. Another anchor
was ordered to bu let go, but in u few sec
onds she wus in too shoal water for this to
avail. When within a few yards of thu
beuch, the reflux of tho water checked her
speed fur a moment, and a light breeze from
the lund gave mo a momentary hope that
the jib and toretopmust staysail might pay
her lieud off shore, so that in the reflux ot
the wave she might reach waters sufficiently
deep to float her, and then bo brought up
by the other anchor. Theso sails were im
mediately set, and she payed off so as to
bring her broadside to thu beach. When
the sea returued, in the form of a wall of
water 25 or 80 feet high, it carried us over
tho warehouses into the first street of the
town". This wave in recediug took her
buck toward the beach, and left her nearly
perpendiculur ou tho edge or a coral reef,
where she has now keeled over to on angle
oi i; degrees.
All tins was tuo work of a few moments
only, and soon after the waters of the bay
subsided into their naturally tranquil state,
leaving us lilgu aua dry upon the beach.
During her progress toward the beach she
struck heavily two or three times ; the first
lurch carried the rifle gun vu thu forecastle
overboard. Had the ship been carried 10
or 15 feet further out, she must inevitably
have been forced over ou her beam ends, re
sulting, I fear, iu her total destruction, and
in tuo loss ot many lives. Providentially
only four men were lost ; theso wero iu the
bouts at the tune the shock commenced.
The boats that were down were all swumped
except my gig, which was crushed under
the keel, killing niy coxswain, a most valua
ble man. During this tcrriUu scene the oth- j
cers ond men behaved with coolness and !
subordination. It affords me great pleasure
to statu that after a careful examination of
thu position and condition of the ship I am
enabled to report thut she sustained no ir
reparable damugu to her hull. The stern
post is bent, and some 20 feet of her keel
purtially gone; propeller anil shaft uninjured.
Tbu lower pintle of tho rudder is gone, but
no other damage is sustained by it. No
damage is dune to her hull more serious
than tho loss of severul sheets of copper,
torn from her starboard bilge and from her
keel.
She now lies ou tho edge of a coral reef,
which forms a solid foundation, on w hich
ways may be laid. She can thus bo launch
ed in 10 feet of water at 100 feet from the
beach. Gentlemeu looking at thu ship from
shore declare that the bottom of the bay
was visible where there was before, and is
now 40 fathoms of water.
To extricate the ship from her position I
respectfully suggest thut Mr. J. Haoscom be
sent down with suitable materia! for ways,
ready for laying down, and India rubber
camels to buoy her op. I think there is no
insuperable obstacle to her being put afloat,
providing a gang of 10 or 12 good ship car
penters be sent down with the Naval Con
structed os her boilers and eugines appear
to havo sustained no injury. A valuable
ship may thus be saved to the uavy, with
all her stores and equipments.

should I do in that person's situation, is not
a just mode of judging. I must not expect
a man naturally cold and reserved, to act us
