APPALLING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Twenty.four Persons KiIled-Coilision on
the Eastern Railroad.
[From Mondays Dispatches to Associated

[From Mondays Dispatches to Associated Pressi
BosroN. August 27.-The Bangor express
ran into the Revere train seven miles from
Boston. Eighteen men and three women
are dead, and forty to fifty persons are
wounded.
The particulars of the accident on the
Eastern railroad, at Revere last night, are
appalling The express ran INTO the ac-
coinmodation train at full speed, with such
force that the engine and tender reached
the centre of the last car, which was de-
molished. This car was crowded with pas
sengers, sitting and standing. The wood
work Instantly took fire, and the scene
which followed was terrible. The boiler OF
the engine burst, and the victims were en-
yeIoped in cloud of steam and deluged
with hot water.
The flames were at last extlngulsnso, oaO
there were but few of the passengers IN the
car (wbo were not instantly killed by the
collision) who escaped the fatal effect OF the
steam. The other cars in the accommoda.
ton train took fire from the upsettlng OF
the kerosene lamps, but the passengers got
out in time.
The number of the dead so far is twenty
four, among them the Rev. DR.. Z. Sera Gar
nett, of Boston.
At the time of the collision the accommo-
dation train for Beverly had its signal lights
u.
at the mast head of the signal post for the
express, upon which it did stop at Everett,
but subsequently proceeded. and was under
full Roadway, then near Revere Station,
the engineer evidently not being aware OF
the Beverly train, until perhaps within
sixty wards of it. He then whistled down
breaks, but not soon enough to avoid the
calamity.
Some of the passengers in the rear OF the
accommodation train heard the whistle, but
too late to escape. On came the express
train at great velocity, and the engine
struck the rearmost car full In the centre
and forced its way in telescope manner.
The car was crowded with people, every
seat being occupied and many standing In
the aisle. In among these the locomotive
rushed, quick as fash, just as the Bever-
" train had started, mangling and killing
in the most terrible manner. subsequently
the boiler exploded, AID the shattered lamps
fred the cars.
Dozens of poor creatures were damned
with the wood and iron works, and could
not get out. The ak was applied vigorously,
and soon rope was applied to the sides OF
the car. All remaining of the frame work
was pulled assunder, and the dead and man,
gled bodies were taken out carefully, and
speedily placed on platform. Some were
pinned with splinters; some had their arms
and legs broken, while others were mangled
beyond recognition. Most of the dead were
apparently free from bruises, but the peeling
of the skin and tie deathly pallor which
overspread the fesh told plainly that steam
and scalding water had caused death.

New YORK, August 24-Intelligence from
the Saratoga races report that LopgfelloW
strained tendon on one of his tore legs
during the race, and that he is ruined Tor
life. Intense excitement was caused by the
race and its result. Helmbold's driver had
instructions to keep close to Longfellow
until coming on the third mile. From one
hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand
dollars changed hands on the result. Har-
per was downcast and said he was the vic
tim of luck.
SARATOGA, August PA correspondent
writes as follows concerning the four-miie
race yesterday:
i. Eonfellow was not in condition. Choice
Judges who visited the track this morning
at daylight noticed that he was not feeling
in his accustomed spirits. His, skin was
tight. Notwithstanding he ran two miles
ten minutes before the race, he hardly
raised a sweat.
2. Why was he allowed to run this two
miles around the track, and half way round
and back, just before entering on the four
mile race? In reality Longfellow ran six
miles. Horsemen are amazed at Harper's
seeming lack of foresight, but do not doubt
his integrity.
3. Was it a tair race ? Questions are being
asked on this point. There is not shadow
of a doubt that Harper acted religiously
and in the highest good faith. He was
afraid to even trust his old rider, Bob Swim
a white boy, for he might have been trifed
with, and be believed, though he was not sc
good rider, that he could trust Enquirer
Joe, black boy whom he had raised him
self. But to make assurance doubly sure
he did not let Enquirer Joe go out Of hi;
