Mr. Fendt, the agent and manager OF the Stereopt-
con- arrived in this city last night from brief trip TO
the oil regions He reports terrible accident on the
Cory and Ttusvie road, which happened about ten
O'Clock Thursday night
The facts, stated by him. these-He left Cory
on regular passenger train bound for Tusviie and
when about twelve miles from the former place his
train coded with the engine OF freight train. This
engine detached from the train at the time and was
running the track OF quite brisk speed forcing water
into its boiler, when suddenly the two locomotives,
neither Of which had head light dashed into each
other becoming total wrecks The baggage strange
to say received but little damage while the first passen
ger car demolished The other coaches were not
much injured.
The engineer Of the passenger train badly hurt,
the other engineer marveously escaped injury The
newsboy whose informant could not learn In
the tnmut had both his legs crushed at the knee and
when surgeons, who had been for arrived
from Cory they amputaed his limbs but he di ed in the
operation.
Some Of the passengers were injured, our informant
could not learn TO what extent but the fortunate crcum
freight train and the comparatively slow rate OF speed
of both locomotives few sustained damage where, other
wise many would doubtless have been killed.
The passengers taken back TO Cory arriving there
yesterday morning
There seems have been gross neglect both sides
But the burden Of fault laid upon the officials who
allowed the freight train to leave Ntusville the time
Of the regular nightly passenger train from Cory.

supposed steamer was in sight, but upon
making inquiry were told that salute of

greatness gre fitting through our locality.
Some of former greatness-now diminish

through the compassion and clemency Of
the chief Executive of the Nation-lately
