A TERRIBLE WRECK. An Express Train From the West on Ohio Road Jumps the Track ad “YY.” Near the Depot in Washington---Twonty- the ialtimore and the one Persons Injured. WASILINGTON, August 17. The train to which the accident ecurred was train No. 4, the St. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati Express, and coming from the West, due here at 5.20. About 6,30 it came thundering unto the city over the Metropolitan oranch, and at the curve, nearly a mile away from the “YY.” began whistling “down brakes,” Ior some reason the braks were not put down, The air brakes, 1t was stated, did not work,and the engineer began blowing the distress whistle for the brakemen to put on the regular brakes. Either the brakemen did not heed the signal, or it was not given in time to be of use,for the train, lying at a frightful rate, came thun- dering on toward the sharp curve at the **Y.” On the south side the “Y,” in the little corner made by the intersection of the tracks, was located the railroad signal tower, a brick structure three stories high, where railroad men are employed to regulate the signals and the switches at the “XY.” When the train .urned the sharp curve of the “XY” with fearful headway the cars behind «he engine flew from th and ymashed into the signal tower, and in an instant there was a wreck, which, lor confusion, has seldom been equalled n railroad annals. The engine was ol es the track lance ol Near 1 $ us, t through the dirt and mud a dis 150 feet, rolled completely over. the engine lay Hamilton Brosi angineer, crushed and dying, and his ireman, with several bones br But behind the engine was a scene of yanic and confusion.
