NEW. YORK. Dec B.-The- express
from Gleveland arrived In this oily at
i:SO r. NJ, nut was three hours late,
navlng oeen detained by broken
prd 90 on the4 cleveland and Toledo
road. IL was composed OF three first
class passenger cars, and smoking car,
anu Two baggage cars, ana was under
the conunetorship o. MI. Frank Sher-
man oI ihis city, Silver Greek was the
last station stopped at prior TO the accl.
dent; and Angola was passed about 8
O'Clock, the tram going ht Its stated
speed OF ABOUT twenty miles an hour,
from Angola 10 the bridge over the Big
sister Oreek; however the road is a
Gown grade ana II Is possible that the
train was going at q greater speed than
that slated ABOVE when the casualty
occurred. BE that as 1t may everything
was apparently all right when the
orluge was feacnedi and when the train
mad crossed halt way over a fearful Jerk
was experienced by those on board,
ana tne next moment the rear coach
was delacned and went plunglng of
tne oHuSe ana down the abyss to the Ice,
aulstance OF some thirty or forty feet.
Ibe brakes were at once applied, but
before tue tram could be stopped the
coupling OF the second coach had be-
come broken aud 1t 100 got OFT the track
ana rolled down the embankment,
landing on its side at the bottom. So
suddenly mad all this happened that no
one OF the inmates OF either OF the
Two coaches had time 10 make his es.
cape, and without moments warning
some torty or my persons were hurried
into tue presence OF lheir maker. The
scene which was presented TO the eyes
OF Inc inmates OF the other cars when
Lhe Train was stopped was fearful one.
Inc car wnich hrstwent over the precl.
plce look hre instantly, and before any
person could get to It the aames made
Eaplu nehuway, ah9 IN lew moments
was III IN olaze' 1hose persons on the
spot ptoceeueu 10 Tehder all assistance

persons were saved from the burning
ar. at. ine Ieihalhuer, some iofty or
nlty menI women ana children, were
consumed WIN thec car. While tho por..
tloh OF tue passengers VINO mad escaped
INJURY gave tnelr attention 10 the burn
lnS car tne balance attended TO the
olner, whlch had also taken fire. Fortu-
hAtely lne names IN the latter instance
were extlnguisned before they had
MADE tiluch headway, ana AZ speedily as
pOsslDle the injured, dead and dying
were taken irom the car, and with the
lew rescued from the burning coach,
were taken to residences near at hand.
How many perished In the burning
car, II Is impossible az yet TO say, and
very probably II Will not be known for
some time. The place where the first
car struck after being preciplLuted or
the bridge, was difficult OF access; and
after rescuing The hait dozen or 30 per-
sons before the fire had made much
head way, no attempt was made last
night 10 disturb the remains OF those
who perIshed In the burning car. That
will be attended to this morning.
