NEW York, April II.
The Tribune has despatch from Port Jer-
Wis that the Coroner's Jury have returned
the following verdict From the evidence
before us. we have arrived at the conclusion
that the deceased. Tobias Erich came to his
death from injuries received by the cars Of
the Erie r. r., being thrown from the track
at Cars Rock, the accident being caused by
a broken rail. The occurrence might in our
opinion have been avoided, had the train run
at less speed Owin5 to the unsafe condition
Of the road
The Times despatch says that Mr. Cor
don who has charge of that portion of the
Erie r. r. where the accident occurred says
he cannot yet tie needed material for repairs
to the road, and the track Is bad in some
ylaccs Ii would be about as narrowing as
to tell the story Of this massacre over again
to narrat. the stories of the robberies done
bv sacrilegilus hands on the bodies Of the
dead and helpless wounded. Money in large
Sums has been taken. gold watches from the
rockets of the dead and rings torn from the
fingers Of women.
The Suns despatch says the charred re
mains of fur men and two women were
brought in this morning. All traces Of hui
man features had disappeared and II Is doubt
full it they can ever be known. That makes
