THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR
.VANCHESTER.
We have received from onr own eorreepondent
the following amount of this terrible dinner
A little before one o'clock yesterday morning a
terrible nide ay eccident occurred on the Fiat Unmade's
section of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, new to
Heltnshore Station, about eighteen miles sixth c,l Man.
cheater. On the previous day (Monday), • peat number
of excursionists had gone to Manchester fro'' Cots,
Burnley, Accrington, and other towns on the Eat lanes.
shire Railway, most of whom had no doubt bean attracted
by a fete at Belle Yu. Gardens, near Manchester. We
hare cot heard the number of the excursi amnia, but it
most hare been considerable, inasmuch as three heavy
train. were neemary to erevey them lock spin. All
three trains bad left Manchester bet, re eleven o'clock
at night ; and the Ent accomplished i'a journey in safety.
The secnal train, consisting of la our Agra, reached Helm
shore station soon after mile jibs, where some
of the passengers slighted. *Anshan is situated
On a .teep incline, rising in some places one
yard in 7.2, which extends near'.y from Ramsbottoui to
Haelenden, a distance of four to five mile.. As the train
was spin put in motion at Helrashore the coupling-chairs
between the third and fourth carriage. broke, and left 15
carriages at the station. WI- ether there was any break.
van to the latter portion of the train has not yet been
aacettaineil, but if so it is evident that the break power
wee insufficient to hold the 15 carriages in their position on
so steep an iodine. The coinequence was, that the detached
carriages began to move backwards, at first slowly, but
with gradually accelerating force, towards Manchester.
About H 0 ends from Helinahore they came into collision
with the third train, which was advancing at no very great
speed. but still the shock was terrific. Two of the de-
tached carriages, them first coming upon the engine of the
advancing train, were broken almost to atoms, and several
of the nuoceeding ones were much shattered. The engine.
driver and stoker, having done all they could to stop the
train, lay down upon the bed .1 the mine, and some
portico of the ditna of the first carriages they ran into
pained over their heads, but they escaped without injury.
The terrible scene which met the eye demben is too
shucking for description. Human beings were seen
by the feeble tight of the moon closely hived
together ie the carriages from which the shells hot
bees knocked apparently away inextricably mixed
up with the broken wreck, and their cries of
, pain sad alum were heartrending. In a short time this
scone was heightened by the passengers from the remain-
der of the two trains, who had steeped with little or no
Wary, coming in search of friends in • phrenxy of agitation
sad distress, their erns almost drowning these of the dying
end wounded. Of course a considerable number of pr-
emiere were able to lend assistance to their unfortamie
fellow•treveUers, and assist the railway servants
In extricating them. This was • work of coast•
durable time, but wbea it had been accomplidnd
we n-zret to toy it was toned that eleven pereons bed
teen killed, beetle. a great number badly injured. The
latter ere stated to be 19 or 20 in number, bet the newts
vary zeusiderably. Altogether it is believed Mot errata
of • hundred suffered Injuries of a more err swim
character. A great number of medical men were NOM Is,
' In attendance. and did all they could M aid the waren.
The servants .4 Use company also rendered aR the met-
! anal in their power.
, Amongst the killed are Richard Heap, of Oise ; a yams
woman earned Tattenall. of Burnley ; Starkie Harriman
and Mary Fell, of Barroeford ; Labelle Hindle, of Basso-
den ; and Samuel Duckworth, of Ewoud-bridge. The sea
ri of the latter jumped out of the (anise before the oral.
sion, but the father had refused to follow. Amongst the
wounded are Hartley Butteeford, fractured thigh ;
ham Pilkington. George Smith, Richard Howarth (menu.
tanager. of Holm), Joseph Bentley, James Aimed, Law-
t none Duckworth, mid James Hoyle, of Hashagden, mostly
with fractured limbs. Richard Tui-pin, John Hayes, and
William Spurr, .f Haslingden, are also wounded.
' The following particulars have been obtained from an
i official source .—There were about 2.500 Famine% in the
three trains. The lint resided of abets 14 carriages, sad
arrived safe; the second nein had 31 carriages, one of which
was left at Rameleittom. This train arrived safely at the
next station Gielmsliond„ slopping at the usual platform.
• There were two guards is sharp of this train, and three
I carreges supplied with breaks of the ordimey kind—two

being in the rear and one in front of the train. When the
guards released their breaks at lielmsbore, the carriages
rebounded as usual, carping the .hackle and coupling.
chains of a Birkenhead consmay's carriage (which had been
lent to the Linicsahin and Yorkshire ('ompany) to give
way, and owing to this fracture fourteen of the carriages
began b. move lockwardsdown the incline. An examination
of the links of else shackling showed that the iron was
- bad. The shackling sad coupling chains were attached
throughout the train. Immediately the bsekward move-
! meat was observed, one of the guarvls jumped on his car-
, rage spin and applied his break, bat the other guard,
being at the front of the train assisting the passengers to
alight, was el coons unable to apply the break under his
shame. One break war ineuffkient to arrest the fourteen
detached carriages, which had rolled back 400 yards, when
, they ems Into collision with the third train. This bad left
. Manchester twenty minutes after the second. Three of the
I serrisges of the second train were smashed to pieces, sad
eight passengers were afterwards found dead amongst the
remains of them. The driver of the third train, on round-
ing • curve, which is in a cutting, at that point
i saw the carriages approaching slowly towards him,
reversed his engine, and applied the breaks, but
it was too late. The gradient is about I in TS.
The receding carriages were not moving much faster
than • walking puce. Mr. Shaw, the pamenpreapede-
tendent of the line, was riding in the first portion of the
second train. Immediately the separation had taken place
be hail the engine detached. moved it to the other line,,
and proceeded on it down the line, with • view to stop the
third train, if poseible, but it was already too near tor a colli-
sion to be avoided.
The killed are four women and six men, and about 20
others are more or less injured, so far as had been amt.
tamed at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At least het of
these are seriously wounded or bruised.
Among the dead, the only persons identified are Richard
Heap, mechanic, Bromley ; John Hartley, labourer, Ac-
cringtou ; Isabella Hindle, wife of s collier, at Basentlen ;
and Alice Tattersall, weaver, of Burnley. Among
the injured are Richard Dearden, working spin.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
(From the Manchester Ganordian of this day.)
There were sot lees this twenty-two broken legs, a num-
Ler which the doctors say is unprecedented.
The wounded cannot with any sectiracy Iro retimated.
The doctors attended to about forty.five who were seriously
injured, and then mot them all to their homes ; but there
will doubtlees be as may mom who were only slightly
hurt, and able to proceed le their homes without medical
assistance We boned of one or two canes of this kind.
The deed bodies were removed to a barn behind the
Tamers' Arun. They presented a melancholy sight as they
all lay side by side on the door. The features of some were
so mutilated that they had to be yelled ; and their limbs
were nearly all hectored. Starkie Harriers and Margaret
Fell, who were engaged to be married, were laid side by
side. Samuel Duckworth has left a wife and 12 children.
His son wee la the carriage, but nand his life by jumping
out. Richard Heap was also a married =II, with • family.
The of dial mount of the accident u that 3,000 persons
were taken to Bell Yoe in three trains, which were c..m•
posed of earrigs* borrowed from the Cheater lead /Nikes-
heel Coalman. The aecenti train, to which the accident
happened, was provided with two breaks, one being in the
front of the train and the other in the rear. Two guest.
were in charge of the teen, and when, in returning, they
released their brake at Member', the buffers rebounded
and the couplings gf one of the Chester and Birkenhead
carriages, inducing the side chains, gave way. The indite

break when the card iges sleeted, but the other guard,

being engaged in assist* the passenger, was unable to get

kaa lest occident of the kind that has happened an that see-
tion of the company's line.
A report was current yesterday that the nein was only
provided with two breaks—one before and the other behind
—which were insufficient fora heavy train conveviag 1,000
persons. It was also said, as emanating from the railway
cowpony, that the iron of the broken link was defective.
We believe that the Chester and Birkenhead carriages Were
made for light traffic only, and to run on a lice which bee
no endemic
About seven in the morning the excursion trains pro-
ceeded to their destinations, and the line was cleared for
ordin►ry traffic by eight o'clock by a number of men who
were sent from Bury shortly after the accident happened,
and who began the work as soon as possible.
The inquest upon the ►odies will be held to-day (Wed-
needs's).

FRIGHTFUL COAL PIT ACCIDENT IN DERBY-

3HIIL-POUR LIVESLOST.

On Monday four youths met a terrible death in the
Bottle Pit at Kilburn. The pit is worked by • mingle shaft,
but the cages ui which the colliers are conveyed to their
work, and the mineral is hoisted to the surfeits rive simul-
taneously from the top and bottom. Thum when • load is
sent from the top, • cage rises from the bottom end the
two pass each other, one desceading and the other weak
fag. In order to prevent any collision, the ceps am guided
up and down by strong wooden conductors, along whim
they slide, and are kept in their placeeby earcag=
Axed on each side of the cages. On Monday, the
" runner," • man, named Crafts, heard, • •
after the boys sank below the surface of the bank,
sus unusual sound from the bottom of the pit, as if some.
10114 war grasing the side of the shaft, and at once sig.
Baled the engitiernan to stop. This was done in an
instant, but the cage had then descended half way down the
shaft. At the last revolution of the wheel stifled shrieks
and • deadened clang proclaimed that the two cages had
met. The fact was that the cage, run on from the bottom,
was not in its proper track, and the clashing force tem
sufficient to double the cage in which the poor lads
were needing like so much paper. Four of the poor
fellows were thrown to the bottom and were crushed
to death. The of the other two was marvellous.
A strong iron rod se inch in diameter wee doubled
up like • thin case, sad Hickinbottom's leg being caught
in the loop, head dowanerds, be hung in the shaft
for more than two Imam Hartley was more fortunate and
was held tight Is • Marinade' position by the crumpled
bars although he was • good deal bruised. As soon as possible
an attempt was made to clear the shaft. The whole force
of the works could not, however, move the clashing cages,
either up or down, so tightly were they lucked together ;
and at hingthltemporary gear wee arranged so that work-
men could be sent down to the cages. On descending they
found Hartley and Hickinbottom in the perilous position
above described ; but it wee now after It, and dating
this tiro* the people oa the bank could ommionally catch
the sound of .unbottom's prayers and Hartley's hymn
singing, varied now and then by a few encouraging obser-
vances, width Hartley addressed to his companion. The
boys are out of danger. Brown, the bottom miner, is in
custody on • charge of manslaughter.
