Awful Railroad Accident.
cry are euteri

Our community was horri6edon Tues.
day evening, by the information of a dis.
astrous railroad accident which took
place early that morning, on the Cleve.
land & Erie X. r., about three miles
east of Painesville. The passenger train
which left this city at 2 o'clock on Tues
day morning found the snow too deep
to make its way thro', and was obliged
to stop at the point mentioned. The &C.
comodation train was known to be fol-
lowing at a short distance, and two men
were at once sent 10 the rear, to watch
alternately for its arrival, and signal the
engineer of the situation ahead. Oneof
chem came pesrcfressipg viii tie cold,
ana while the 9theE2was relieving him,
the train came along and he was unable,
from some cause, to give timely notice.
The result was that the locomotive run
into the sleeping car of the first train
splitting it in two, driving the trucks for
ward, killing FIVE persons, wounding
/ large number of others, some mortally,
and setting, fire to the three other cars,
which, together with the sleeping cars,
were almost totally destroyed. None OF
the injured parties belong to this vlcini.
! ty. although some ofour citizens, includ.
ing ColJohn n. Bliss, G. Siegel, Hon.
NJ. b. Lowry, Geo. Lyon, Paymaster in
the Navy, and the wife of Rev. DR.,
Lyon were upon the train. Some Of the
wounded have since died
Superintendent Nottingham. with that
energy that has always distinguished
him, Immediately upon learning o. the
casualty started out from Cleveland with
an extra train, accompanied by several
physicians. we'll provided with articles Of
relief They succeeded in making their
way TO the scene of the accident, and
were instrumental in the prevention Of
much suffering. The passengers were
:aken To Cleveland. where the wounded
are being carefully cared for at hotels
and private houses.
This is the first severe accident that
has happened on the Lake Shore Road
for period of several years, and our
confidence in its officers convinces us that
no blame will be found to rest upon their
shoulders. It is the testimony of tho
entire travelling community that no road
in the country is conducted with more
skill and regard to the safety or comfort
of passengers and the occurrence, after
alengthv interval, of one such affair as
that of Tuesday. painful as it was. should
no; be allowed 10 detract from the high
reputation it has had amongst all who
have ever enjoyed its advantages.

we reached the next window which be

into the interior. Again paused in mo-
tinnless silence. and again we listened
intently. but nothing beyond the sounds
already mentioned met our ears. and We
proceeded to search in the darkness for
the bags of ammunition We came upon
them simultaneously in one corner of the
room piled in IA heap. We commenced
our work at once by passing them out
two at time. tn 'ough the window upon
the roof Silently and swiftly was the
task accomplished till not a bag remained
We searched every foot of the floor

we were the sole objects, animate or imam

Passing ont, our next movement was
10 carry round the bags TO the extreme
end of the piazza This involved the
necessity of traversine the whole length
of one side of the buildng. With much
labor and anxiety as we had to proceed
more warily than ever at each step, we
at Last accomplished it. And now we
held consultation whether it were bet.

81 ocking Murder in the Fifth
Ward.

The murder of Mrs. Elizebth Gill by her
husband, Felix Gill, on Wednesday last
was deed that has caused trill of hor.
ror to pervade the community. notwith.
Standing the feast of blood on which We
have been Uupping for nearly three
years. Mrs. Gill is represented as a
mild tempered woman, not given to
quarrels, and yet on Wednesday, morning
she appears to have been attacked by
her husband, iniuriated by many weeks
Of uarestrained indulgence in liquor, and
beaten to death. The Ceroner's physi
clan, who made the post mortem exami.
nation, although familiar with such OBJ
jects asserts that he never saw such q
dead body, covered as it was with bruis,
es and cuts from head to heels. How
severe the struggle; how persistent the
efforts Of the poor woman to save her
life, will never be krown, as the conflict
took placd without witnesses. The enigh.
bors living adjoining the house, No. 404
Spruce street, beard scutae during the
morning but that it was rot Of such
nature to create alarm, is shown by :he
tact that it was not until evening, when
the absence OF noise excited suspicion
that it was deemed praper to enter the
| house.
There was little difficulty in fixing the
crime of the murder upon-the husband.
When arrested, Gill had on the bloody
shirt, although in the cell at the station
house he appeared to recognize the full
force of this damning evidence, as he
endeayored to tear the bloody fragments
from his person.
The Corners jury rendered verdict
that Felix Gill murdered his wife, and
he stands committed to await his trial.
The murder is the result of an i'm
