THE GREAT 'RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN TIM
UNITED STATES.

A New York paper, speaking of the scene which oc-
curred at the dead house, after the railway accident at
Norwalk, says,--" The place was literally besieged with
people who had arrived from New York, New Haven,
and other places, in search of friends or near relatives.
Personal grief set aside every other consideration. A
gentleman upon the outer edge of the closely wedged
mass would cry 'Let me in to find out if my dear
brother is dead.' Another would say, cannot endure
it ; I must get in and know if my friend is there.' A
man, stupid with grief, would totter forward, saying,
'My wife ! my wife !' while delicate ladies, heedless of
the maddened rush, would maintain their places, sobbing
out, "rhe bride of yesterday !—dead—dead ! Oh, that
I could see her lifeless form !' During this time the
officials in charge of the door performed their duty with
great tenderness, but firmness. To the entreaties of
For God's sake let me in,' the universal reply was, ' God
assist you! I ain sorry for you ; but at this moment you
cannot enter, by and by you will.' When the door was
opened, what an effect was produced. The floor was strewed
with dead bodies, coffins, and torn dresses, while the
air was filled with shrieks, announcing the recognition
of a departed father, brother, mother, sister, or child.
The bodies. were not much disfigured. There were some
bruised about the bead, having the wounds principally
upon the left temple, and the same side of the skull.
This struck us as resulting from the angular position at
which the bodies touched the cars after being projected
in the one fatal direction by the shock. The majority
seemed to have died from slow drowning, and their coun-
tenances presented the true index of their feelings at
the moment of the awful passage from time to eternity.
The chisel of the sculptor has never caught the real de-
lineation of lineament and expression which could be
there seen upon the faces of the lifeless human monu-
ments of the New Haven Railroad tragedy. One man
lay with his lips slight apart, his hair literally erect, his
eyes staring, his hands extended, as if in aversion of dan-
ger, and his retracted muscles showing his feeling of
dread at being forced into the terrible gulf. Although
stiff and cold. as he lay upon his back, an observer
would imagine that he was still receding from the
contemplation of the horrible catastrophe. Upon the
Countenance of the once robust Mr. Colbach, of
Richm and (Massachusetts), you could see clearly the
conviction of inevitable death, and the calm steady
gaze of a man familiarised with its contemplation.
Mr. Colbach was a ship carpenter, just. returning to his
native place. Near to the door lay the body of a gen-
tleman, said to be Dr. Bartlett, of Massachusetts ; it
looked as if he had endeavoured to tear off his gloves, in
order to attempt to free himself, but had not time to
accomplish the act before he died. A beautiful child lay
near to him, looking as if the cherub' had returned
to earth, after the catastrophe, and lain down to sleep.
Hopeless horror was pourtrayed upon the countenances
of the ladies. The faces were unusually pale, even for
the colour of the departed. This was in some measure
owing to the stoppage of the heart's action by the tre-
mendous nervous contraction when the unfortunate suf-
ferers realised the first idea of their fate. Some who
had struggled violently when cooped in the water had
their faces covered with bubbles of foam, belched forth
in the strong swimmer's dying agony.' The latest
accounts state that endeavours were being made to raise
the trucks of the cars and tender, which were bottom
up. There was a report that an arm of a person could
be seen at low water, and it was supposed that • there
were more bodies under the trucks,"
