TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Four Lives Lost-Flfteen Men Wounded,

MANASSAS JUNCTION, Dec. 27.-Last night,
at about o'clock, the second p. IN. train from
Brandy Station ran off the embankment at
Bristow Station, destroying several yards OF
the track, the locomotive and four cars, besides
Killing four men and wounding fifteen.
At the time of the accident, the train was
moving at the rate of at least % miles an hour
AT Bristow Station. where there is a switch,
the track is in a bad condition. Within eighty
yards CT the scene of the accident is bridge OF
considerable size, which must have given way
mad the train proceeded farther, thus rendering
certain the loss of at least one hundred lives.
1t is stated as the cause of the catastrophe,
that the switch having become unmovable fur
ther than to certain point, the person whose
duty 1t was TO change it ran up the track to-
WARDS the coming train and attempted to stop
it; but being unprovided with either lantern or
torch, mis- efforts were fruitless.
The frequent occurrence Of accidents on this
mllltary railroad is beginning to attract the
notice of the authorities. The trains are car
ried at too great a speed over the road, which
is in poor condition, and, see mingly, not often
inspected. On starting from Rappahannock
Station, car in the same train was thrown
from the track and demolIshed-the passen gers

were people on the side roads to signal the en-

doing well this morning.
The track was repaired during the night, and
trains are low running usual.
Had this accident occurred two hours before
the loss OF LIE would have been fearful.
Comm on humanity demands an investigation
OF the daily accidents on this road, and the
prompt punishment OF those by whose negli-
