ma FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON TEE
OR/AT WASTRILII RAILWAY.

A eorrespondeat, writieg from Mede•l yesterday evening,
secs :
The owner for the district of Salop ;mead the leviest
this evening at 6 o'clock on the bodies of three of the we-
fortunate pumas killed ►y •a exciusica ►rain manic` off
the Great Western line at thin place yesterday. AU the
bodies have not been identified, but Ocoee already re-
minima are &mut Horton or Marto% fireman, of Birkeo-
head ; Samuel Hawke, of London; Elisabeth Shaw,
Worley, Wolverhampton ; Mary Ann Jones, Bilitoo. Two
others have not been identified. They a►e all believed to be
strangers in this part of the country. The other man who
died at Shrewsbury tact night is • fireman of the second
eosins.
Mr. Crimson, traffic manager of the Great Wasters, at-
tended op behalf of the Great Winters Company ; and Mr.
Melviller, solicitor, of Shrewsbury, on behalf of the rela-
tives of Rome of the deceased.
The jury having been sworn (Mr. Doyen, foreman) w-
eeded to view the mangled bodies of the dammed, which
were lying in one of the sheds at the Radial 'tattoo,
about half • mile from the spot where the accident hap-
pened. The bodies, it need hardly be said, promoted a
most shocking spectacle, lying as they did in • ghastly
row, and decomposition already setting to. Having dis-
charged the sad office the jury were conducted to the spot
where the accident occurred. The line had during the night
been allured for traffic, but some of the carriages and engine
still remained by the Id. of the rails, with their reunite
parte broken, smashed, wad shivered into fragments, testi-
fying to the violence of the break down.
Some formal evidence, merely testifying to the fact that
the deceased bad died from ►ioieoee, was then taken, and
the inquest was adjourned, in order to permit of time for
identifying the other bodies, sod of obtaining evidence as to
the state of the line, and the cireurostanoss leading to the
terrible catastrophe. The accident is attritieted by co* of
the drivers of the train (now lying is Shrewsbury floultel)
to the fact that the line at this point was under repair, of
which no notice was given to the driver of the train by
the mu employed on the line. The name of this driver is
William Anderton, of Chester. He has mural ribs frac-
tured •ed his lunge are lejured. As he was thought to be
in a dangerous condition, his deposition was taken by • nia-
giant*, Mr. Clement, and he deposed as follows :
I ass driving on the other side of Redeal at about 30
miles en hour. I was driver of the first engine of the ex-
cursion train from Chester to London. The plateleyers
ware repairing the road, and no one came back with the
flag to prevent us going on. The engine was thrown off
the line; she went • considerable distasos before she
tumid on her side. t amid not stop her. I and the stoker
must have bees thrown off. I think the fall alone hurt
ma. I was thrown • ousiderable distance. I was sensible
all the time. I remember coming to Shrewsbury station
after the accident. I have been sensible all the time op to
this time. I attribute the *acid's% entirely to the plate-
layers having been engaged repairing the lies and not send-
ing the flag backwards to prevent us conning on. I make
this statement in prospect of death from the accident, and
it is all true.
The accident happened within 600 yards of the Rubel
station, sod not, as stated in some of Use papers, a mile or
two front it. The trite ausisted of 32 carriages drawn by
two engines, and was as excursion returning from Liver-
pool and Manchester to Dudley, Birmingham, end tondos.
