[From the Pittsburgh Commercial, 2ith.l O..
E. On Saturday night about ten o'clock an
accident occurred on the Pittsburgh, Column
bus and Cincinnati Railroad, which resulted
in the death of one man and the injury of
several others. The through express train
from Cincinnati due in Pittsburgh at one
O'Clock a. M. Sunday, while nearing Mats
vile -Stalon,in Harrison county, Ohio, broke
an axle under the tender attached to the To-
connective. The train was going at swift
speed and the sudden breaking of the axle
under the tender, stopped it so quick that it
forced the first passenger car over an en-
bankment some twenty-five feet high, into
COnnoton Creek, which was very deep. and
leaving but small portion of the end of the
car out of the water. The second passen-
ger Car rolled down the embankment to the
waters edge, and was prevented from going
into the water by the coupling Of the sleep
ing car, the rear Of which remained Oh the
track. Had the sleeping car gone over the
bank, none Of the passengers could have IS
capped drowning, as the water was damned
up but a short distance below, and was very
deep The first passenger car, which was
almost completely submerged in the water,
contained about thirty passengers, and
strange to say they were all saved by crawl
ing out Of the windows and doors, except
one man, name unknown, whom it is feared
was drowned, as he has not been seen or
heard Of since. Most of the passengers were
more or less injured, but none it is hoped,
fatally. The following are the names of
those most seriously injured: Mr. George,
w. Beltzhoover, of the firm of Wood, Mat
thews & Co., iron manufacturers in this city,
was injured about the legs aud body, but
not dangerously; Mr. e. B. Howard di-a
vision engineer of the railroad, injured about
the back badly Capt. McGowan, of Vicks-
burg, Miss, badly injured about the head
There were on the train at the time Of the
accident from sixty TO seventy passengers,
and it seems miraculous that so few were
seriously injured. A train arrived from
Steubenvile with surgeons about an hour
after the accident, and brought the passen-
gersst Steubenville and Pittsburgh, arriv-
ing III this city at nina o'clock en- Sunday
morning. The officers of the road did eve
rythlng in their power to relieve the in
Jured, and render the passengers comforta-
bile E-Ia

The Morris has certainly been a most ill-starred

OF this company will be fully protected as the Morris
has funds enough onhand to pay all losses and re-
insure all outstanding risks, besides making re.
