THIS MORNING'S NEWS

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.)

The inquest on the bodies of those persons killed in
the railway accident at Newark was opened yesterday
Colonel Tyler, the Government Inspector, was present,
and Mr. Mellor appeared for the railway company.
Many officials were present, and various solicitors repre-
sented the killed and injured. There are about twenty
witnesses to be examined. The first was Thomas
Walton, guard of the passenger train. When the acci-
cident occurred, he was thrown from his seat, but not
being injured, he at once ran up the line to the gate-
house to order the danger signal to stop the following
goods train. He was in the last van. A portion of the
goods train was on the line, the last waggon was without
wheels • and the driver was backing the engine to be
coupled with the waggons. Some one said to him " All
right mate." When he told the driver and stoker of the
goods train that they had made a fine mess of
his train, they appeared astonished, and knew
nothing about it. One said he felt a link break.
Beasley, of Doncaster, guard of the goods train, con-
sisting of twenty-nine waggons and a van, not heavily
laden, was also examined. He said that after the occurrence
he took a note of what was left behind :
four Great Northern broken waggons and one London,
Chatham, and Dover goods van, but he left on the
line, four other Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire
waggons. He proceeded with the first part of the train
at 5.15, after the wounded and dead were got away.
Witness's van was not broken, As to the cause of the
accident he said the waggon of the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire Company, No. ,3238, broke in the axle,
inside the box of the wheel, that being the waggon after-
wards found without wheels. He did all he could by
chewing the red light and shouting to stop the passenger
train, but there was not time for it, and he saw
the collision from the east side of the line,
about fifteen yards from the overturned waggon,
against the corner of which the passenger train caught.
The waggon was forced nearer to the seven overturned
waggons behind it, and became firmly fixed. The one
wheel lay near the Bridgewater left hand side of the up
line. He saw one waggon lying across the down line on

its side.
John Binks, fireman of the goods train, said the waggon
was examined and tested at Retford. He corroborated
the driver as to the uncoupling of the goods engines.
Evidence was produced as to the examination of the
waggon, particularly of those of the Manchester and
Sheffield Company, and of the one which broke down.
The Coroner said he was willing to sit until nine
o'clock, and !then adjourn until to-morrow. He
intimated that in order to expedite the inquiry he
would take Captain Tyler's report to the Board of Trade as
the basis of his evidence when he was called upon. The
report was placed at the disposal of the press. It is
very lengthy. In it Captain Tyler says no blame can be
attached to any one connected with the excursion train.
The waggon the cause of the accident was delivered to
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company on
the 23d March, 1859, by John Aslibury, Brittania Works,
Mcnchester, and from June 14th, 1859, to December 31,
1862, it was repaired 27 different times. It wan trans-
ferred to the Great Northern Railway at Doncaster im-
mediately before the accident. The flaw had grown in
the course of years. No ordinary examination could have
detected it. William Drayson deposed that he had
examined the goods train at Retford. He inspected it as
carefully as he was in the habit of doing. There was
nothing to indicate the existence of any defect in the axle
which had broken and caused the accident. Henry Crab-
tree, of Buenos Ayres, who was a passenger, stated that
when the accident occurred he felt three shocks which broke
the window of the carriage. After the crash the witness got
out and recommended the guard of the train to take
measures for the protection of the remaining portion of it.
Captain Tyler, R.E., next gave evidence. In his opinion
the record of the work done upon rolling stock should be
more carefully kept than at present. An axle that had
done so much work as that which broke ought to have
been replaced by another, instead of depending oil the
detection of flaws by periodical inspections. The flaw
extended all round the axle, but could not have been
observed, even had the body of the carriage been taken
off. The inquest was adjourned till to-day (Saturday).

MORE RIOTING IN CORK.
(CENRTA L PRESS TELEGRAM.)

The streets of Cork were on Friday night again filled with
disorderly crowds, and a repetition of the riots being
feared the troops and police under arms were dis-
tributed through the disturbed districts. At the police
office yesterday the magistrates stated that, if necessary,
the entire garrison , would be called out, and extreme
measures used to suppress the disturbances. A monster
trade meeting has been convened for Sunday, to protest
against the conduct of the master tailors during the strike.
CoRK, Saturday Morning.

Rioting was resumed in Cork after nightfall. The
police patrols were repeatedly assailed with stones, and
had to make frequent bayonet charges to clear the streets,
and the dragoons and mounted police were employed for
the same purpose. The mob extinguished the lamps in
Academy-street, and formed barricades with carts, but
fled on the approach of the police. Two houses in
Patrick-street and Nelson-place were wrecked. The
police having received information that the rioters intended
seizing the gas works to cut off the supply from the city
a guard was placed over the works. The Riot Act was
read at eleven o'clock, and tranquillity was restored at
midnight, but the troops and police still occupy the streets.
Several casualties are reported. One soldier had his skull
fractured, and many of the police were hurt with stones.
Several arrests have been made.
