took place for the borough of Enniskillen yesterday.
The town has been in a state of great excitement, and
on Friday
rival parties to such an extent that the interference of
night much rioting prevailed amongst the

quillity culd be restored. After the two candidates,
Mr. Whiteside (the Irish Solicitor-General) and Mr.
Cullum, had addressed the electors, the polling was
fixed to take place to-morrow (Monday). It appeared
to be the general belief that Mr. Whiteside would be

small majori but 'the friends of

THE FATAL ACCIDENT UN 7.r CIE NORTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY.
An inquest was held yesterday morning' at the Bell
Tavern, Kilburn. on the bodies of George Chapman,
aged 25, Richard Pinnock, 27, and William Rowley, 35,
labourers, who were knocked down and killed by the
engine of ft mail-train on Friday last, near Kilburn-
station. -A largo number of witnesses were exaseitted,
from whose evidence it appeared that about tio men were
at work a quarter of a mile distant .'rem the " opening
gang" of five to which the deceased belonged; and the
sarety'of this body of workmen was insured by the at-
tendance of a policeman, in addition to an overlonker,
so that they might be duly warned when an engine
appeared in view. It did not seem, however, to be
usual to use the same precaution, in the case of the
mall " opening gangs;" but it was proved that io
this instance the whistle of the engine had been
sounded in ample time to allow of the rscapo of the
deceseed, had
,the sound not b.en deadened by the
noise of another passing train. The coroner (Mr.
Waklcy, M.P.), in the course of his chiervations to
the jury, said he feared that the regulations with respent
to workmen employed on the line were net sufficient])
strict to insure their saSeiy. The most despotic act
under such circumstances became the most humane. He
sugg%sted that some mechanical contrivance should be
abide
,to give warning to the men on the approach of
at
struck by
a a bell
iattachpeadsstion. In
aglongrosupenh a that might
an
be
alarm might be given before the train came within 300
or 400 yards of the labourers. As far as the evidenl.
1;
went, no blame appeared to reit upon any one in . this
case, and it was on that accourfc only the morn necessary
that some method should be adopted to apprise the mai
death," accompanied with the following rocommenda.-

gang of men to give them sufficient intimation of the
approach of the trains."
