NEW YORK, August 28.-All the journals
are discussing the Boston railroad accident,
and are unanimous i'll the opinion that the
case demands such investigation. as will re-
suit in fixing the responsibility of the catas-
trophe, and visiting the guilty with the
seyerest penalties of the law. The World
says of the accident: Ii this be not murder

clamorous to God and man for justice, then

lives of innocent men.
Boston, August 81 The terrible railroad
accident of Saturday night becomes more
sickening as details are developed. The
cause of the accident was simply that the
engineer On the express chose to plunge his
train int the station before him. The Bev-
erly accommodation train made several
stops to get passengers at way stations.
Meanwhile the express train from Bangor
left on time, and run at the highest attain.
able rate of speed. Before it started Super
intendent Prescott sent special orders to
the engineer to be careful, as there YVES
train ahead of him. The conductor of the
accommodation train was warned of the
train behind him, and caused two red Ian
terms to be put on the rear platform of the
rear car, but it seems no attention was paid
TO orders, and the responsibility of the care
lessness must rest somewhere.
At the scene of the awful disaster there
is little to be seen. In the ditch at the side
of the road still smoke the embers of the
burned cars, but this is almost all which
tells of the disaster,
In the town hall. at Revere, still lie half
a dozen bodies. They are horrible to look
az. Bloody foam lies upon their black,
swollen lips; their ewes protrude from the
sockets; discolored patches of flesh hang
loose from their cheeks, and great flaps of
boiled skin bangle from their hands They
have been crushed, cooked, tortured, and
deeper than mere physical Disagreement
one sees something most horrible in their
faces-a haunting look of unspeakable
agony.
The officers of the road were almost crazed
bv the accidet, and seemed at loss to know
what TO do. The killed and wounded are
nearly all Boston, Salem and Lynn people.
