CorIrs1os OF TIE YInorxIL AND TxrcKHE
RAnRoAp.-The following description Of the
accident TIA occurred on the 18th. on the
Virgins an. Truckes railroad. is taken from
the Csr.onkppeal: q
The up tain. under Conductor Shrieves.
was orderee on in the direction of the acci-
dent, with Instructions to pass the down train,
under Conlhctor Bell at given point-which
Is in dispute with Shrieyes and Capt. Haynie,
Train Dispatcher at this end Of the line.
The two trains going Mt their accustomed slow
speed they, .'slow down when approaching
the cut above mentioned, came IN sight Of
one another on q sharp curve. too late to en-
able the engineers and brakesmen TO stop.
The two engines, the Virginia on .be up train
and the Carson on the down train. collied
with a Tremendous shock, pilinR the cars one
upon another and creating general wreck Of
both trains
X. w. Thornton, a young man. formerly y
telegraph operator. and who had been in the
employ of the railroad company but few
days, rs brakesman, was standing at his
post, between the two forward cars of the up
train, which were loaded with wood, and
when the shock came he was thrown with
with great violence forward, upon the first
car; and he was found Immediately after the
accident, crushed between the piles OF wood,
mangled and unconscious. He was dead be-
fore thoss who came TO his assistance could
free him from the wood. The deceased. as
We are informed, was a native of St, Johns.
Newfoundland. and was about rs years of age:
and II is also said Of him that he was the au-
thor Of some very clever lines of poetry which
appeared in the Gold Hill News of the llth
instant, entitled Twilight Musings" His
body was taken to Carson and placed in a
building adjoining the railroad office on Car
son street. ........ .-E.. r. ...
I. p. Lewis, engineer of the Virginia, vas
quite severely bruised about the back and
scalp. Charles Burkhalter, fireman ON the
same engine, was badly bruised; and Conduc-
tor SErieyes got somewhat cut by the break
ing of the glass windows in the cab" of the
locomotive. The fireman of the Carson got
bruised somewhat. None of these injuries
are considered of serious nature. Brake
men Serrill and Kennedy, on the Shrieves'
train, both escaped unhurt, as also did the
Conductor, Bell, engineer Mccormick and the
two brakesmen on the down train. These es-
capes are quite remarkable lmos. miracu-
Ions. The up train consisted of six cars-tive
of wood and one of lumber. The dowp-traiu
was the largest that ever came over the road,
of tventy-siI cars. six of which
were loaded vita ore. The others were
empty ''dump-cars" and flats

Their influence with the Senate is said to be
sufficiently powerful to carry through almost
any scheme they may be induced to set their

foregone conclusion, and Grants finds IN
