Hince lust we met together in the

Centennial year of our nation bus
dawned upon us. The busy, bustling
scenes that havucharaclericed our na

have suddenly been suspended, and in
quinines and serenity the people have
been called upon to behold anil investi

works of art and mechanism and skill,
tho mighty inventions and strange die
coveriea thut our people have ever
been proud tobossl of. have been placed
upon exhibition and have stood up as
briubt memorial, while anxious mulll
Hides bave retired from their labors
and thronged to behold with astonish
ment and pridt tbe accomplishment of
a century and to pay bomago to tho
name tint bear tho honors of their
work. Tbe poorly constructed machin
ery and illy contrived appliance of a
hundred years ago bavo been compared
with the well arranged mechanism ol
the present day. 'The old log school
house witb its unooniforluble furniture
and torturing forms of teaching and
punishing has been held up as tho
prison ot the past compared with the

there is a sadder tule to (ell of ono who

TEttltlBLK RAILROAD A (VI
VEST; AHHTAMULA.Ohio, Deo. 30. The most
diaulrous railroud accident siucu the
Angola horror in 18G8 occurred at this
stulion, sixty tho miles east ot Cleve
land, last night. A heavy fall of mow,
accompanied hy a gulu of wind, had
provuiiod during the day, and on ull
sides tho snow hud drifted into huge
moutitiiins, und trains going cither way
were greatly delayed. Tlio Pucitle ex
press, which lell liull'ulo at twenty
minutes pust twelve p. m., and waa
due at this elation ul quurter past nine,
was over two hours lute, und upon
rcuchiug the iron truss bridge which
spans the Asluhulu river a lew rods
east ol the stulion, tbe structure gave
way, preciiiiiuling Ihu train of eight
couches und three bugguge curs into
llio chasm. Ibe bridge was an irou
truss of 1511 leet span, the track being
sixty led above the wuler level. The
Irani wu druvvii by two lis-umotivcs,
the forward one bieuking hsiso lioin
the other us tho bridge gave way, and
escaped oil the Very brink of the fear
till gull ; the other engine Pillowing
the quivering mans of humanity and
crushing couches and adding to the
horror by iheruslnpgsleuin thut came
Irom the crushed monster.
Hardly had the couches reached the
ground utter this leurful leap ere the
Humes buisl tort li on all sides, and the
bleeding and mangled bodies became
liiod lor the pitiless tire. The groans
ol I he dying, the cries of the wounded
und the agonizing appeals ot those
whoso burn chaiico tor lite was being
swallowed up by the flumes, rendered
I bo scene one ol unpul ulleled horror,
the recollei linn of which will never be
lorgoiieii by those w ho lived through
thut hour of indcscribublo agmiy.
There were 172 passengers on the
train ut the time of the disaster, and
of this number il is believed thut about
two-t birds w ere killed outright, so com
plete wits the wreck, und so rapid und
entire the destruction by (ire that but
thirty four bodies buvo up to this time
iwuiily-lour ttiiiirs utlur llio tiisusicr
been recovered, and it is believed
I hut but lew more will be Ibund, oth-
ra being entirely consumed. Ot tbo
number recovered but six bavo been
idetititled, the bulunce being an india
liiiiruishable muss of charred and black
ened flesh und bones, horrible to look
upon ami entirely beyond identifica
tion. Tho citir.cn of Iho villego about a
mile distant from the station, headed
by the Mayor, turned out ffl miw to
tho aid of the siitlerers, and hotel, and
private residences were converted into
temporary hospitals. Everything poa
blu waa done to alleviate tbe lufluringe
of the wounded. These numbered hi-ly-nino,
the groater portion of whom
aro but slightly injured. Many ol
these proceeded on their journey this
afternoon.
Charles S. Carter, of Brooklyn, JS.
Y., says ho was silting in a palace cur
with ihreo other persons, engaged in
a friendly game ot curds, when aud-
lenly be heard llio window glass breaK-
ing in the torwurd purl of tbo car and
almost instantly the car begun to lull.
lie was scaled with his buck toward
llio front of the car, anil as bo went
down he sal us quietly as he could und
held on. ben the car struck the
hoi 1 on of the ravine bo found himsclt
ulmost unhurt, ulthotigh one of the
men who was playing curds with him,
whoso numo ho did not know, was kill
ed, while another, a Mr. Sheppard, of
.New lork, hud his leg broken. Jlr.
Curler says tho Iront of the cur was
much loner than the reur and the
flumes in front begun to cut their way
upward uml spread with gieut rapidi
ty. He turned loassisl Mr. Sheliimrd,
and, with great dilllcnlty, succeeded in
gelling him out. When Mr. Kheppurd
wus luirly out, ( inter returned lo the
ussistunce of a woman, who was cull
ing lor help ut the f ront end ol the cur.
He got her out, and, a she was quite
lliiiilr clud, gave her his overcoat. Al
ter reaching u hotel ho found himself
severely bruised in several place". In
(he incut peril ol the hour a man rush
ed down 10 the scene nf tho iiistieter
ready to help in rescuing. Ho saw a
ivouiun struggling Ibr hie and wool to
her assistance, lie carried her by niaiii
force (o solid ice, and then urged hy
the cries of tho mother, went back to
rescue her daughter, a sweet child ol
three or four years. The treacherous
wood in splintering had caught the
chilil in its grasp and the fire complet
ed Ihu horrible work. The niun wus
compelled to seo the child enveloped
in (lames, and to hear her ery ot "help
me, mother" ringing nut in tho agony
ol 'death. Ill a moment she was lost,
swept up hy the sharp tongue of fire,
while Iho mother, In helpless agony,
fell lo the earth in a deadly swoon.
1 hero wus on board a tumily named
llennell, on I heir way from New York
Stale lo Jefferson, Ashtabula county.
The father und mother got out of the
wreck uml tho children were only sav
ed by being tossed from the arms of
one man lo another over the pile ol
burning wood. Ono of the four chil
dren was seriously injured and all were
slighly scratched. This morning tho
mother, who was enarnte, gave birth
to a chihl, the event being hastened by
tho excitement she had undergone
1 1 seem that the train bad just
about covered the bridge when it lell,
as fragments lie across the ravine
touching the base ol the abutments on
either side. When one stands at the
lis it of the ravine and looks up it seems
an utter impossibility that any man
eon hi I ake a leap from so great a height
and live, vet a number escaiwd com
paratively unharmed, and bud it ntU
been lor tlio Itro probably not ono
third would have been lost. The wa
ter in the crunk Ia onlv alanut three
feet deep, and it is thought by some
that when it is drugged a number of
bodies may bo ton ml.
A stsM'iitl train, loail"d with some ol
the Injured, lell Ashlanuiaai a quarter
past eight o clock tuis morning, con
sist ing ol an express, passenger and
paluce car. In the lalturtne beds had
all been mails, and in them were plac
ed 'he worst of the victims, those be
ing able to lit up were accommodated
lo Ibe Iront ear. 1 a tonaucior eaiu
the train consist! of a locomotive,
smoker, three ordinary cars, a draw
ing-room car, three sleepers and a bug-
gage car. Thought 131 passengers
were on board when the citiitmity hup-
ieiied ; some passengers think there
wore more.
A special despatch from Cleveland,
Hated dummy, says:
Workmen ut tho wreck ol the train
ut Ashtabula Inivo cleared awny tho
remainder of Iho debris. Only two
more bodies have been recovered to
day, which, with tbo 31 taken outyos.
lerday, are all that will probably ever
be Ibund. Tbo rent are burned to ushes.
A few of the charred and mangled
bodies recovered buvo been identified,
and were brought to Clevelund on Sun
day night. Among them aro the re
mains ot Dr. A. li. Washburn, rector
ol Grace church of this city, whoso
death bus creuled a profound impres
sion. Young Nussbaiiin, of Nuw lork,
and tho fireman of the wrecked engine
have died. There is a report in circu
lation that immediately alter the acci
dent tho Superintendent of the road
telegraphed instructions to forbid tho
use of wuter to extinguish the tire, and
thereby permit all evidence of iho num
ber killed to be destroyed. . This is ab
surd und fulso. All rumors, of which
there aro many, charging thnt the
bridgo had been condemned und wus
known to bo unsafe, aro malicious in
ventions. Among tho most interesting
reports obtained to-day is tbe follow
ing, procured at Erie, l'u, by a reporter
of tho Cleveland Leader, from Mr. Me-
Guire, engineer of tho leuding engine,
which broke loose from tho train and
was saved. Mr. McGuire was tho on
ly unhurt man who saw thowhuloof
the calamity under tbe most favorable
circumstances and rejKirls us follows:
JJunicI McOuiro, engineer ol the
Bocrnles, stiiles that his engine wus
ahead of the Columbia. All the stations
between Erie and Ashlubulu, with the
exception of Ihreo, were slopped at.
hu train wus running slowly, lie
felt tho bridge give way when two
car-lengths from tho west end ; he felt
it settle down; had his had on Iho
ibrollle and pulled il wide open. The
diuw -bar connecting the engines w us
snapped hy the sudden jerk. The
trucks of his tank did not clear, and
settled down, hut the opening wide of
the throttle saved the engine and the
trucks were pulled on. He ran up the
track 100 yards and gave the alarm by
repeated whistles and ringing ol tlio
bell. Ho saw tho engine Columbia
sink with tbe bridge and turn bottom
upward. Ibe express, baggage and
passenger cure followed in a heap, the
passenger cars landing on tho express '
cars, and all went Into the river. The
fire broke out In the lust sleeper, which
swung over to one side unit soon was
in a bluzo. In two or three miuules
t'nr entire wreck was a mass of flumes.
The shrieks of the living and the dying
were terrible to hear; but their voices
wore soon hushed as the tire king em
braced thorn. I was one of the first
at the wreck, and pulled several out of
tho i"0 and helped to extneato some
Irom tho debris. Uno woman was
pinned down by her legs on a burning
car; her cries for help were piteous,
and in despair, as the Oamee circled
around her, she shrieked, "Take an ax
and cutoff my leg;" but il was impos
sible lo reach her, andslio was consum
ed. Tho paint on tho burning cars
snapped like powder, staring many
workmen. : I couldu t estin ale the
number burned, but think l'HJ perish
ed by flame and water. Some were
killed outright. A husband and wife
in tho burning wreck were held down
by obstructions, and calmly awaited
their lute. Their lipl moved as il in
Player. Neither pen nor tonguo can
Icscribe tho norroia of the "no. In
twenty minutes after tho fire started
it was impossible to extricate tho pas
sengers. 1 ho engineer ot tho Colum
ns, 'Tap rolsom, of Cleveland, says
his engine turned bottom upward. Ho
was thrown violently through tho win
dow of tho cab and was badly cut.
McGuire helped pick him tip braised
and bleeding, and his first words were,
"Another Angola horror, Dan."
1 lie train was running at tbo rale
of 10 mile an hour at tho time. Tho
britlgc wns considered safe. Pussen
gc train Na 8, with two engines, bad
passed sulely over tho bridgo about 7
o'clock. Hia train struck tho bridge
at 7:32. Thinks tho frost and the
weulher and heavy trains snapped tho
bridge. Six engines bad tested the
bridge without straining it. At the
time of tbe accident tbe storm was at
its height. Hu could not see two cur
lengths ahead of his engine, and this
rendered it next to impossible to give
immediate assistance. This complete
ly cclied tho Angola horror, lie
thinks no one would liaveescaed from
tho doomed train hud he not saved his
engine, thus enabling him to give the
aiurin. Terrible indeed would it havo
been had the Six rates gone over in the
blinding, furious storm. No one would
have known of thedisaster, and tho next
train duo would have shared llio same
tale and been thrown into the river.

when a very heavy surf, the heaviest

slipped to let the ship coins up on the
bench, but the wind buing along shore,
shu was unable lo come. At about 7
p. ni., she broke bndly between the
iiiru and mainmast. Soon alter she
began to break up, and continued to do
so until 5 o'clock in the morning, who.,
the in men rigging, on which all the
