The Latest Hallway Horror-Human Belace Uoaated Alive feliocklag Mreuea. We coii:lense from a long report in the Men phis Avalanche, of the 4th instant, the follow ing particulars of the terrible railway accident in Tennessee, news of which has already been given by te'.egraph: A terrible accident occurred to the northern bound express train ou the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, about four miles below Memphis, near Nonconnah Creek, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, which resulted in the death by burning of 6even colored persons, and mor tal injuries to two white persons, aud the bruis ing and 6corching of about thirty persons. At the time THE FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE occurred the train was running about twenty miles an hour, and the engine, teuder, bagguge cilt. and a coach filled with negroes had found ttafetv over the iron bridge which spans the gully, about five hundred yards above Noncon nah creek, when the rear axle ot the baggage tar suddenly mapped, and the car was thrown across the track. A rail was torn from its pi vco and entered the first passenger car, penetrating it from end to end, and at the same moment the car which contained over sixty negroes, with the conductor, Mr. Peter Klrby, the omnibus agent, Mr. William White, and the newsboy, Charles Ecclcs, was rRECIPITATED OVER THE EMBANKMENT about eight feet, and fell ba its side. The and in a very few stoves were thrown down, minutes the CAR WAS ON FIRE, and the flames burst forth. Conductor Klrby, who was standing in the vicinity of the stove at the time, was pitched forward on to it and was burned about the face and legs: The shrieks of those who were in this FIERY FURNACE were literally heart-rending, and those who witnessed the horrible scene will not forget it to the last day of their Uvea. The light wood work of the car was soon all ablaze, and over half a dozen colored persons, young and old. male and female, perished ln'the flames. Strong men were to be seen at the windows endeavor ing to get out, and a moment afterward they fell back and became the prey of the devouring element. Women, with their clothes one mass of flame, were also seen to fall, while CHILDREN WERE TRAMTLED UNDER FOOT, and in two instances perished beside their f arents, who would not forsake their offspring, n fifteen minntes there was hardly a vestige of the wood of the car remained, and the burning bodies were fully exposed to view. The top of the stove had fallen over on a man, and he presented all the appearances as if he had been BURNED AMVE IN THE STOVE itself, while the other sufferers were burning beyond all power of identification. J. he sight was a horrible one, and made all recoil with horror from the scene. Still they gazed at the poor unfortunate beings as the names envel oped them and burned into their very vitals, and then turned away again. TnE FORCE OF THE CONCUSSION may be well understood when it is stated that the Eolid pier was broken completely in twain, and the car hung over the yawning gulf which was about thirty feet In depth. The car was rent asunder, but fortunately there was no water lu tne guiiy, or tne majority ol tue passengers would certainly have been doomed. As it was, nearly all the passengers received wounds and bruises. , The car which went over the precipice was CHOri'ED UP I.IKE KINDLING WOOD and thrown into the gulley, while the ladies' car on the brink of the chasm was minus the front platform, and with nearly all the windows smashed, while the interior presented a total wreck. This car, previous to tiro accident, was the finest and handsomest on the road. THE -SCENE TUESENTED IN TnE AFTERNOON was of the most dismal character. The baggage car had been rolled off the track and lay par tially down the embankment, while ou the op posite side of the track was the debris of the car in which so mauyhad lost their lives, a heap of smouldering ashes, in which were the charred remains of those who had perished in the flames, far past any sign of recognition, and it was impossible to tell whether the sufferer had been male or female. With one exception, all seemed to have pe rished within a few feet of each other. The fatid smell from the BURNING OF nCMAN FLESH eauecd every one to seek their way to the bot tom of the gully, where the workmen were engaged clearing away the wreck. CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. The frightful calamity was caused by the in tense frost which prevailed at an early hour in the morning. No blame is attached to any one. THE LANCASTER TRAGEDY. A Man Kills nlnmrlf Half nn Hour Before the Time Appointed lor ills uiurnnjte. The Lancaster Express ot last evening says: Last evening, between 0 and 7 o'clock, a re port gained currency in the streets that Harry Brenner, well known in this city, had committed suicide In his room at the Sorrel Horse Hotel. Mr. Brenner had deliberately placed a pistol at his head and sent a ball into his brain, from the effects of which he died in about ten minutes. Very soon after the occurrence Coroner Dysart was notified, when he summoned a jury and proceeded to take testimony. The first person called was Susan M. R utter, a domestic at tne notei. uer testimony, wnicn was elicited amid sobs and tears, was substantially as fol lows: She had known Henry Brenner some four years, and three years since became en gaged" to be married to him; the time for the marriage bad not been agreed upon until quite recently, when it was deeidod to have it take place at 7 o'clock last evening. About 0 o'clock she went to his room and found him sitting on the side of the bed. lie complained of feeling unwell, and she went down stairs and prepared him a bowl of tea. She placed the tea on the table and bound a handkerchief around his head, when she went towards the door, which was but a few steps from the bed, and led on to theouter balcony of the second story. She had not yet opened tue door when she heard the discharge of a pistol, and looking round saw Mr. Brenner still In the same position, cue tuougnt mat ne naa nroa into the wall, but almost instantly be fell back and the pistol dropped from his hand to the floor. She picked the weapon hastily up and threw it on the bed and then ran down stairs to give the alarm. Mrs. Christian tnens lestinea mat 8ne Knew Henry for a number of years; that he roomed at the house lor me past louneen years; mat ne possessed means euough to live upon; she knew Susan Kutter. wna naa uvea at tne nouse ior tne past four years; she always believed Susan to be modest and correct in her behavior; knew of the engagement, but supposed that Henry did not wish to marry her, as he tuougnt mere was too great a diff erence iu their social standing. This was all the evidence brought out. ine verdict of the jury was that deceased had wil fully taken his life. Deceased was aged about forty-two years. He was well known in this city and county. His habits of life were peculiar and somewhat irregular. The only motive for the rash act that has been thus far ascertained was to avoid the approaching marriage. ARMY OFFICERS. Wot Line of the Army lletlrement Law. The Washington correspondent of the New Yoik Tribune writes: Many gross improprie ties in the working of the law for the retirement of army oflicers have been brought to the atten tion ot the House Military uommmce. Many oflicers are drawing from 8500 to $2000 mow pav a year on the retired list than they received while on active duty with their regiments; meanwhile no duty is required of them, and many of them are engaged in lucrative business. This abuse grows out of a law authorizing the retirementof oflicers ou the pay of the grade they held, when wounded or disabled, which was passed some five years ago at the solicitation of a Senator who had a son who was a captain in the regular army, and bad been a Brigadier General of Volunteers during the war. The eou was enabled to drop the duties of a captain and the pay of f2500 a year, aud go on the re tired list with a salary of more than 15000. A lar-e number of oflicers have been retired in this way lieutenants as majors and colonels, and captains and majors as brigadier and major generals. While these regular army oflicers are tbus retired upon the pay of the volunteer rank they held during the war, disabled volunteer Ulcers, who do not get places in the regular army, get only a pension of from tl5tof20a inoiith.
