Sunday evening, May Sth,on the Versailles
and Mondon Railway, by which 100 per-
sons were killed, or have since died OF their
wounds, aud many MANNED and wounded.
4 Ia honor of the Kings fete the water-Works
in the gardens of Versailles were playing
on Sunday, which attracted immense crowds
from Paris. The train to which the dread
i full accident occurred left Versailles for Pa
4 ris at s 1-2 o'clock In the afternoon, and
was crowded with passengers.
il There Were,' says our account, IL or
lis wagons, with two engines before and one
behind. The velocity was excessive. When
between Bellevue and Mondon the axletree
of the first machine broke, and, stopping,
the second ran over il, killing the stoker and
, breaking the first machine, and spill. lis fire
on the ground. Instsntiy six or seven wag-
! ons were broken in pieces, and the rest
running over the live fire of the broken
] lengines, burst into flames. II IS the custom
; on The LEFT Bank Rail- Road for the doors
/ of the wagons to be closed, without any
!, possibility of opening them, except by keys
in the hands of the conductors. No con
ductors were forthcoming, and thus the In
! mates of three of The wagons were burned
d From this account il is clear that but to

. carriages, so awful loss of life would no
