CALIFD K MA.
Collision OH the Pacific Railroad.
A LARGE NUMBER OF KILLED AND
WOUNDED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA few minutes
past O'CLOCK his morning the E ,st-rn bound
train on the Western Pacific Railroad, COM
posed of eight cars, including one sleeping car,
colded with the Almeda Ferry train compos
ed of four cars near San Francisco Both
trains were going at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. The engines are perfect wrecks and
the cars smashed and driven through one
another. The Western Pacific train left on
prompt time, but the morning was so fogey
that the engineer could see but little distance
ahead. Upon arriving at the switch where the
Western Pacific connects with the Almeda
road, the train was slowed and switched. The
tender of the switch being questioned whether
the Almeda tram had passed, replied, "All
right; go ahead" Soon after the trains came
together with terrific crash The first pas
senger Car on the Western Pacific was driven
through, smashing the car. The other cars
were badly damaged. The number of killed
and wounded is varously estimated at from
ten to fifteen killed and from thirty TO fifty
wounded.
1t IS impossible to obtain the correct number
at present. The following is list of those
killed and wounded: KILLED Alexander W.
BALDWIN, United States District Judge, of Ne
vada, Virginia City; Edward Anderson, en-
giueer on the Western Pacific Railroad; Mr..
Mcdonald, road master of the California Pa
c'fic train; Mr.. Boolet, Principal of the Young
LADIES' Seminary at Oakland Charles Mar
Tin, fireman of the Almeda t ain; George
Thompson, fireman of the Western Pacific
train; David Ward, merchant San Francisco;
Jas. Connolly Carroll station; Max E. Her.
man, merchant, San Jose; a man supposed to
be B. Fl. Fox from papers found on his body
The names of fifteen wounded are reported
most of them having one or both legs broken.
In the list is Judge VIM. Campbell, United
STATES District Attorney, lett leg broken.
The killed and wounded were mostly on the
Western Pacific tram. When the cars colld-
ed the passengers were driven together and
crushed among the RUNS. There was great
difficu ty in getting the passengers out of the
ruins, aud many could not be extricated The
legs of one man were amputated before he
could be released from the cars None of the
passengers in the sleeping car were hurt The
badly wounded were sent to Almeda. The
catastrophe has cast gloom over the entire
city. The announcement of the accident was
read from the pulpits of the churches during
the morning service.
