Another Railroad Murder.

One of the most serious Railway Coils.
sions ever known in the west, took place on
;ts. great Western Road, on Thursday night
of last week, between the Express train
from Niagara Falls, and the Gravel train,
which was backing into Windsor. The Ex-
press train was composed of four first class
and two second class cars, all filled with
passengers. An eye witness Of the scene,
says:
$50 forcible was the shock that the car
next to the baggage car was jumped com
pletey over the second class car, killing or
wounding nearly all The passengers in both
cars, and smashing them to atoms The
front tirst-class car was also dashed to piec-
es, and the passengers in the front part
nearly all killed, or badly injured.
When the informant left the scene, there
had been 25 dead men, dead women, | /
dead children. 81 wounded men, and 20
wounded women and children taken from
the mass of ruins-making 80 in ALL killed
or wounded, but afterwards l more were
reported dead, making So lives lost"
The engineer of the gravel train suppos'
ing that the express train had passed came
on the track, thus causing the frightfu
tragedy. No blame is attached to the
Conductor or Engineer of the passenger
train. "The fault rests with tie Engineer
of the gravel train who should have known
whether the express had passed. His
name was not learned, as he left the ground
