THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN WALES.—GLENDWY-
FACH, NORTH WALES, MONDAY.—As the excite-
ment caused in this neighbourhood by tho fearful accident
on the Carnarvonshire Railway last Thursday lessens, it
becomes possible to get fuller and more accurate details of
the circumstances attending it. The line running between
Carnarvon and Portmadoc, a distance of about twenty
miles, is part of the Cambrian system, and had just been
finished by the contractor, Mr„Themas Savin, and awaited
the inspection of the government officer before being for-
mally opened for traffic. Yielding to a repeated solicita-
tion of the people at Portmadoc and other places along the
line, Mr. Savin, however, unfortunately permitted a spe-
cial excursion train to run to Carnarvon on the occasion of
the meeting of the Calvinistic Methodists' Association in
that town, with the fatal result already recorded. A de-
rangement of the points near this station (where the ac-
cident occurred) was undoubtedly the immediate cause of
the catastrophe; and it is believed by those connected with
the line that the points had been tampered with by some
curious
onpassing over the crossing. It seems that
when engine and tender ran off the line the shock
the person e rs
broke the coupling chain of the second carriage, and thus
only two of the carriages followed the engine, and were
smashed, the rest of the train keeping on the main line,
and avoiding the collision. It is owing to the fact that
the number of injured passengers in a train conveying
about eight hundred is so remarkably slight in comparison
with those killed on the spot. Mrs. Evans, one of the pas-
sengers in the second carriage, died yesterday, this making
the number of deaths six. The names of several more
passengers who have sustained injuries more or less serf-'
ous, have been ascertained, but the list does not yet exceed
t On
in Friday an inquest was opened here 'Wore tho
• w of the bodies, Which had been laid in the
shed adjoining the station. No evidence beyond that
vi
coroner,
necessary for the identification of the bodies was taken,
and the inquiry was then adjourned till to-morrow.
TIIE YORKSHIRE HARVEST.--The state of the
weather has now become a matter of very serious import to
the farmers of the two agricultural sections of this county.
Tho Doncaster week has come—the period when the har-
vest-home suppers are usually held_ and fully one-half the
crope
small portion of it secured.
The
but the almost constant
showers, with a warm temperature, render harvest work
floodsis uncut,
have and buted od a
trying in the extreme. Corn in some parts has never been
ireecveerruyiinly,
fairly dry for the last three Weeks, and sprouting has in
consequence been far too general. The farmers' hopes
were all centred upon the new moon of Sunday, which
period was generally looked to for a cliange of weather.
Sunday, however, was wet, and up to noon yesterday rain
still fell. There was, however, an improvement in the
afternoon, when the sun broke forth, but the wind still
kept due soutl4. Rain, however, had quite ceased,
