DESCRIPTION THE ACCIDENT BT ONE OF THE
PASSENGERS.
On Monday evening, the 31st ut., as the Fast
Express train from Pittsburgh Cincinnati turning
a curve Darlington Pa, frighttul collision took
place between this and the freight train going east.
The collision was : sudden that no time was allowed
60 amply the brakes The be- &c locomotive rushed
upon each other in deadly conflict, and having spent
their giant power III one onset sank together upon the
track a common mass of ruins. The freight train
received comparatively little inury-nOt so the other.
The baggage car passed entirely through the first
passenger carthe bottom of the former passing just
above the floor of the latter, sweeping, in the twinkg
of IN eve, every seat from it, place, and crowdng
passengers, baggage, stoves and broken pieces OF
timber IN Il space not large enough for one car.
The concu-rion was felt hut Tor few seconds, and
oil still except the fierce Kissing of the escaping
steam. Almost instantly the shrieks Of dying men
were heard far above the noise of the crushed engines.
Three or four men lay off TO side in the snow
some with broken arms, Others with shattered legs and
bruised bodice crying ~ piercing tones of agony for
help Just above the front end of the second passen-
Ger car, where great mass of fragments had been
washed up. three men were seen two of them held up
by their legs the third showing ont of the of
ruins but hs head and hand crushed and black from
connective blood. Poor fellow, death gave him no
time for agony.
Near to these, but on the other side of the cars stood
n brave man--Matthew Kolt-one leg broken and his
right arm held firmly beneath the heavy timbers of the
bottom Of he baggagecar, resting upon the front oi
the second paSsenger.car. He uttered no complaint,
though bis leg was broken, and his arm literally ground
10 pieces nearly hour elapsed before he could be
released yet he showed no impotence and let no groan
escap his Inns The other two men were almost equal
IL brave enduring their long confinement with remark
able fortitudc. The officers OF the trains, assisted by
al the passenger, e1eted almost superhuman
efforts to extricae the wounded and to place them IN
the unbrUken ears but firmly the ruins pressed
together that it wa, probably less than hour be-
fore al were taken ont. The cries Of the wounded for
physicians for water for warmth, and for wives and
Sisters were sufficient to rend the stoute-t heart
One poor man, whose throat had been cut either by
a splinter OF By broken glass was laid upon the floor
Of The car and aftcrwad propped up on two or three
seats but Lis suferings did last long-he breahed
through the in hi- throat for an hour and then
lay still in death. From the papers in his possession
