down the embankment. 1t Immediately took
fire and burned rapidly. Peter Kirby, the
conductor, who vas standing by the stove
at the time, was dashed against it and se
verely burned but managed to extricate
himself form the debris. He climbed out of

but such was the rapidity of the flames that
nearly all the injured were burnt to death,
as the heat prevented Those uninjured from
assisting. The next passenger coach was
dashed through tie bridge and literally
smashed, though few of the occupants
were seriously injured. As soon as the
news reached this city, a number of sur

everything was done to relieve the sufferers,
most of whom were brought here to the hos

pulled out of the car by the conductor, and
thus escaped an awful death. though little
hope is entertained of their recovery. The
