DISTRESSING OccuRRENcE-TcoM Members of
the Rhode Island artillery Killed. and several
Others Wounded.-About six o'clock Yesterday
morning, shocking accident occurred at the
drill ground of the second Rhode Island marine
battery, resulting in the death of two worthy
men, and severely I'M uring several others, to one
Of whom it may result fatally. 1t appears the
battery had nearly finished their usual morning
drill, and was about to execute q counter.
march, the horses being in a walk, when the
timber ofsecond piece Of the first section sud.
denly blew up, hurling the three men sitting
upon it, some Is or 20 feet into the air, and
frightening the horses, so as to cause them to
start of at a rapid pace. They were stopped,
however, before they had time to do any dam
age. The timber contained, at the time, about
half dozen blank cartridges, six solid shot
and six canister shot, the latter of which did the
most Of the damage. The names of those
killed, and the extent of injuries inflicted, is
as follows:
William E. Bourne, (private,) one Of those
who was seated upon the timber was killed
instantly.
Nathan J. Morse, (corporal,) who was also
seated upon the timber, received dislocstior
Of the spine, and other internal injuries, ant
died in about thirty minutes, after being taker
to the regimeutal hospital, at the Rhode Islant
camp.
Edward R. Freeman, (private,) also one o
those seated on the timber, received a com
minuted fracture of the right leg, a fracture o
the left clavicle, and some serious internal in
juries 1t is considered extremely doubtful
whether or not he will recover.
Richard Thornley,, (private,) the rider Of ont
OF the wheel horses, received slight wound Q
the scalp, and had his back considerably
scorched.
= Private Weeks suffered slight confusion o
the hip.
Various causes arc assigned for the explc
SIGN. The general impression is, that it re
suited from friction between the shot and som
foreign substance, which might have been il
troduced into the caisson either Ey accident o
design. A court of inquiry in relation to tn
matter Is to be held, however, when the tru
cause will probably be ascertained.
The remains Of both the deceased were take
to the depot yesterday afternoon, escorted b
the members of the company. The bodie
we're both placed in airtight metallic coffin'
Theoretically sealed, and sent on to Provdenc,
Rhode Island, where they both resided, i
charge of a committee.
The surgeons of the two Rhode Island reg
ments are assiduous in their attentions to tn
wounded men, and are omitting nothing tht
can be done for their comfort.
Ona of the hOrspy was nuch hurned an
otherwise injured, and will probably be rel
dered valueless; the injuries ofthe other hors'
were not so severe. The only damage su
tained by the gun carriage was the destructic
of the Timber and the loss Of one spoke Of
Wheel
Yesterday, the various flags at the can
were placed at hall:mast, aud the create
gloom seemed to pervade the quarters.
