Susquehanna river, almost opposite the
city. A troop train consisting of some
twenty freight cars, containing the Goth

from Greeucastle, where they had been en-.
canlped for a few days. The train was be-

from Carlisle, but none coming the train
proceeded. The weather being very foRRy,
II was with the utmost difficulty that ob
iects could be dtscerned along the track,
but every thing went on smoothly until
within about mile of the bridge, when
the train came suddenly on an engine
standing on the track. The engineer of the
train reversed his engine, but too late to
prevent the collision, aud the engines came
together with terrific force, the car imme-
diately behind the tender of the troop train
was crushed into fragments, and its occu-
pants either killed or wounded /; the second
car was driven into the tirstand complete
" destroyed and o number Of persons bad
~ hurt; the third car WAS thrown on top
of the second, the whole crashing through
the top. The most terrifying portion Of
the scene was the cries of the wounded,
some thirty in number, and the sight of
the dead. They were all carried TO a house
close by aud surgeons sent for from Harris
burg. The whole cause of the accident is
carelessness on the part of the Cnmber.
