FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The New York money market continues easy
at 7 per cent. TO borrowers on call. This ease,
however, is rather attribuia TO the limited
demand from government dealers and stock
brokers than to free supply Of loanable funds.
The shipments of currency as vet show no
abatement, although il is probable that the
return tide will set IN favor of this centre al no
distant day. There is percepubly improved
demand for the better grades of commercial \

Fearful Accident on the Northern Central
Railway.


The Baltimore Gazette of this morning SAYS
An accident. more serious in its results than
any which has happened for some time, oc-
CURED about eleven O'Clock on Monday night
on the Northern Central Railway, twelve
miles south OF Harrisburg. II appears from
the statement OF a passsC ger, who was present
shortly after the accident, that the locomotive
Lady Washington. with tender, started from
Harrisburg about ten O'Clock on Monday night.
and the engineman was ordered TO 60 into tn.
Red Bank sidellng and await the passing of
the tram north which left this city At seven
O'Clock in the evening Instead of obeying
his orders be pushed on to Cone WACO station,
ABOUT mile south OF Red Bank, for the
purpose of taking water. At that point
there IS an abrupt curve, and the track is
only few feet from the river brink, where
there is rugged precipice of nearly fifty
feet The Lady Washington was standing on
the track and the engineman was looking al
his watch, when the northward train rat
around the curve. To avoid a collision then
was impossible, and the engineman aud fire.
man both Jumped from the train. The fireman
OF the Lady Washington was instantly killed
and that engine was crushed. At the moment
OF the collision the boiler exploded, and only
fras sments OF iron and brass could after ward be
found, though with them the ice in the river
was literally strewn. The smoke stack was
thrown TO dista nee of one hundred yards into
, me river, ana me tender, crushed and shape
less mass, was thrown down the bank aud Into
the river The train north ward consisted OF
the locomotive ana tender, three express cars,
aud several passenger cars The locomotive
was broken 10 pieces; the express cars, which
Were lader with oysters for the West
Were destroyed; one passenger car was
broken TO pieces. aud several Others
crushed and run into each other How
many were killed and wounded could not
be definitely ascertained last night but
the number was SAID to be thirty-fye
As soon as the accident occurred a wreckiue
tIaln was sent down from Harrisburg, and some
Idea may be had of the extent of the damage
when IL is known that the wreck was not
cleared until yesterday afternoon. That part
OF tne collidng tram which escaped did not
reach Harrisburg until about four O'Clock YES.
teroay afternoon, and the Buffalo train due an
THIS city AT half-past nine o'clock yesterday
morning did not arrive until after six o'clock
yesterday evening. The scene Is said to have
been appalling, and for some time there was
but little assistance, as the point where the
catastrophe occurred is only a water station
and there are very few citations around
The damage TO the company will probably h.
between twenty thousand and thirty thousand
