The accident on the Eastern Counties Railway
has, we regret to say, produced far more disastroas
results than was at first imagined. Not only has
another name been added to the killed, but the
list of wounded has been augmented, and in nearly
every instance the injuries have been ascertained to
be more than usually serious.
Yesterday we stated that the engine-driver, 'Wm.
Rowell, was 'lying at the station in a very precarious
condition, and that it was probable he would not
live through the night. This anticipation, unfor-
nattily, proved _too wojlzgronndad,Sor .the poor fel- .

he was taken from beneath the engine he never
for a single instant recovered his consciousness,
and almost imperceptibly ceased to breathe.
After his death the full extent of his injuries
was for the first time ascertained. Besides
being scalded and crushed upon the lower portion
of his body, the back of his head was forced in, and
the latter injury was that which caused his death.
He was one of the most careful drivers on the line
—a fact recognised by all the officials of the com-
pany, who are unanimous in their expressions of
regret at his untimely end. He has left a wife
and several children to mourn his loss.
The fireman was an unmarried man, named Geo.
Cornwall, and not Barber, as stated yesterday.
The complete list of those killed is as under :
Mr. Satchell, hatter, of Fenchurch-street, City.
Mr. Stokes, miller, Saffron Walden.
William Rowell, engine-driver, Cambridge.
George Cornwall, fireman, Cambridge.
Mr. Satchel! died almost immediately after being
removed to the White Hart, where his body still
remains. Mr. Stokes, who had both legs and both
arms fractured, also expired at the White Hart, but
his body has been removed to a coffeehouse in the
neighbourhood. The bodies of Rowell and Corn-
wall remain at the Tottenham station.
Yesterday a more complete list of the wounded_
and the nature of their injuries were ascertained.
The following persons are at the White Hart Inn :
Mr. Manser, wholesale grocer, of Harlow.
Mr. Manser, brother of the above.
Mr. Bean, corn dealer and owner of a large flaur
mill at Parndon,
The elder Manser sustained a terrible compound
fracture of the left leg, which was amputated, and
yesterday, although in a very low condition, he was
pronounced by Dr. May not to be in immediate
danger. Mr. Manser, junior, whose hip is dislo-
cated, was also reported to be proceeding favour-
ably. Mr. Bean occasions much anxiety. He is
upwards of 73 years of age, and has sustained a
simple fracture of the right thigh, and a very bad
fracture of the left thigh. His left knee is also
fearfully crushed. His only chance of recovery lies
in the fact that he is a very strong old man.
Mr. Garrett, a miller of Roydon, lies at the Ship
Inn. He has sustained serious fractures of both legs,
and several contusions of a formidable character
about the thighs. His legs have been set, but,
owing to a great loss of blood, he was last evening
in a very bad state, and Dr. Luke gave instructions
that he should not be disturbed under any circum-
stances.
Another most serious case is that of Mr. Empson,
of Saffron Walden. Ile is lying at the residence of
Mr. Gayford, a personal friend, at Tottenham-green.
Mr. Empson is very much injured; both legs and
one thigh are broken, and he is otherwise dread-
fully hurt all over the body. Dr. May is in attend-
ance on this gentleman, and is indefatigable in his
exertions.
In addition to the above a sad ease has been dis-
covered at Seyd's hotel, Finsbury-square. It is that
of a gentleman named William Caswell, who was
brought to town soon after the accident and con-
veyed to the residence of Dr. Godfrey, in Finsbury-
' square, and afterwards taken to the hotel above
mentioned. Mr. Caswell has three dislocated ribs
on each side, which press upon the lungs, a fracture
of the breast-bone, injury to the spine, and a general
shock to the system. He was in great agony all
Monday night, bat yesterday evening he was pro-
nounced somewhat better.
Telegraphic messages were received from Cam-
bridge and Saffron Walden last evening. intimating

escape. He was in the break-van next the engine,
and while the driver and fireman, who were in
front, and two of the passengers who were behind
him, were killed, and others injured, he escaped
with a few bruises. No person can understand
how his life was saved.
It was not until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
that the wreck of the locomotive could be got off
the line, and shortly afterwards the traffic pro-
ceeded as usual.
After the removal of the engine it was carefully
