but slightly, while the extOt and the natiire
of the injuries of others arn of a' character to
render it likely that they also will be called
1110011 to swell the catalogue of mortality.
The scene of the accident was a curve of
the road about midway between the Relay
House and Rider's Grcive, •at irlii4h latter
spot the Grand American Celebration took
place. &
Three tra i ns, full of ladici and gentlemen,

cur of of the trains left:BaltiMore a\t Ito o'clock,
.a,nother started at. five, and : the third, to
which the accident occurred, at about fifteen
minutes liter.
It seems-that the accommodation, train for
York, iith four passenger cars attached,
tinder the direction of Wut.Scott, Conductor,
stetted .on its - way
,up shortly before 5 o'clock - ,

mei:mien. train „ ,Poor the :GioNe had also
Thy , met abont three-fp:miters .4,a mile
t :there the Relay 'House, at the turn of an
abrupt switch, and came together with " a
fearful crash. .. , :‘
- The locomotivea . died to the excursion
' train was behin pushing the cars; that
4/
attached to the other train was in front, and
literally plowed its way into the cars, loaded
with pawengers. , ba
About half a dozen cars; were crushed and
,shivered to atoms, and a ' large number of
their unhappy, inmates tither killed upon the
- .
spot or dreadfully - injured.. The scene is de
scribed as harrowing- to the last degree.
Several of those killed and , wounded were so
caught in the wreck of the broken cars that
„they could not be released for - a considerable
Aisne.
t ; Axes and crowbar's' - were .bronght into
requisition, and, those alive and unhurt made
;superhuman, efforts for their relief. . The cry
- .for water from the sufferers - was continual,
and several ',emus were engaged constantly
ill supplying them. It was not, however, till
the locomotive attached to the excursion
train had' been attached to, the crippled nrass
that the dead and, :vounded were got out.
4 - large numlyg of-Algifn,who-cape,d walked
.to towed rhilontlietal.Came -in in- whatever I n '
vehicles could be obtained. .ii
'lmmediately upon the authorities at Cal-, Iv
*crt Station being haformed• of the disaster
they dispatched a `locomotive and cars to the •
spot, taking the precaution to send a number
of physicians along. The train with ,the sur
vivors and the killed and wounded came in
at-12 1-2 o'clock: The scene at the depot
his harrowiiig in •the extreme. An immense
erowd of those who had friends and relatives
at the Grove was assembled, and the state of
terrible suspense was painful to behold.
' Wives and mothers, brother's and sisters, ran
up and down the platform, ' eagerly question
ing As to the killed and wounded, anxious,
yet dreading the reply, which .fright, inform
them of the melancholy fate of some one
near and dear..
The bodies were taken out. of the cars to
the number of 27 and laid upon the platform
where inquests were, held over them byCoro
ners-Stevens and Goldsmith. The testimony
adduced was as stated, and the jury detrred
the-rendition - of their verdict -until to-day,
,:.when they will meet and take further evidence
in the ense. .
. : The principal portion rof the sufferers - were
in - the'-excursion train, alt eugh several of
'thoie in the accommodation 'train were also
killedluni wounded. Several persons, among
them lir. Emanuel Stoekett, saved themselves
-Mn hearing the whistle blow, by leaping
from the ears to the ground, while going at
full speed. Those who escaped in this way,
received, so far as we could learn, but- little
•
damage:. / •
.4 14 bodies of the dead were all placed in
-nee-car, and piled up one upon- another,
' presented 'a ghastly spectacle. Nest of them
had been instantly killed by the crash, some
--of them being horribly erusked and mutilated
in *manner to sicken the' hehelder,, of the
spectacle. The wounded were made a& easy
as possible, and, in most of the cases, their
.friends' were at the depot, and had them iiri
inediately removed.—Baltirnore Clipper, Ju'
