MORE RAILWAY SLAUGHTER.
A FrIshtfaI Accident on Oss % the West.
ern Roads.

CHICAGO, December ga letter from
Cedar Rapids, lows, dated yesterday,
says: AS the express on the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Minnesota railroad,
about O'Clock Saturday evening, was
crossing the Shall Rock river, near the
town OF Rockford. in the northern part OF
the State, the bridge gave wsy, precipi-
tsting into the stream two Locomotives
with their tenders, and also 6 baggage
and csb0Ose car, distance of twenty
seven feet.
The engineer OF ths first locomotive,
Mr.. L. Z. Judd, wss instantly killed by
being burned beneath his engine, while
the fireman escaped unframed. The en-
gineer OF the second locomotive, on the
other hand, escaped, while his fireman,
Mr.. Robert Robston, was killed. The
brakeman, who wRs st his post Between
the baggage and passenger coach, Mr.. J.
". BsrtlsGt, was also killed. The bag
gsge-man and a aEection-msn had their legs
broken. A gentleman, by name A.
ToWne, had three ribs fractured, while a
few others were variously bruised.
Fortunately the passenger coach stopped
Just in time TO prevent its plunging with
tds rest, thus saving the inmates. Mr..
TowDe, with his broken bones, picked up
bsggsge-mester and drew him 70 the
upper end Of the car, which stood on g
steeply- inclined plane, who was taken
out of the window by the conductor. Mr..
TOwne then sank himself from exhsus-
tion, and wss preserved by come one crawl
ing in after him. By the greatest exer-
tiOns on the part of J. B. Loomis and E.
B. Sill, the two conductors OF the train, it
was saved from FIRE by the rubbing on Of
snow after It was several times sblszs, al
though both fross their hands in doing so.
Had It burned with the wounded inside,
the result would have been horrible, in
deed. TIE bridge was Howe truss, and
the two engines were on the train on &C.
count Of hesvy drifts Of snow. Il Is feared
that the bridge hGd bean tsmpered with
by some evil-dispossd persons.

A FRIaaTFUL ACCIDENT.

The Lynohburg Republican Of Tuesday
gives the following particulars Of the &C.
cident on the Virginia snd Tennessee
railrosd, by which two lives were lost. 1t
says:
A gentleman who assisted In collecting
tbs rem aims of Captain Robert A. FOCUS,
whose body was burned IN the accident at
Dry Hollow Bridge, on the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad, LAST Saturday, informs
us that Captain FOCUS was not killed By
the falling of the cshoose, as at first sup
posed. On the contrary, ne made des-
perate effort TO open the door of the car,
which was impossible, 1t having fallen
upon the opposite end, and he having
nothing to stand upon while he removed
the door. He held with both hands
To the facing Of the door with
suoh desperation as only dy-
ing man could be capable OF, and
talked calmly and resignedly Of death,
telling his sympsthizlng frienps outside
that they could do nothing for him. A
large kerosene lamp, filed with oil, was
overturned in the accident, and wss of
course set on fire by the stove. The blaze
from the burning oil ignited the whole
caboose slmost instsntaneouSly, and Cap
tain FOCUS continued to talk until his
clothes were almost entirely burned of
his friends outside 6cVi6eQ MIN 10 ocVOte
the few remaining moments Of his life to
prayer, which he did. The LAST word he
was heard to utter was, "Amen," when be
Recessed his hold upon the door facing and
was seen no more.
Our informant says human heart, not
burned st all, was found in the ashes of
the caboose, with q few bones, none of
them more than six ineheslln length, and
so soft that they could scarcely be ham
died. It Is not known whether the heart
was that OF Captain FOCUS or Of the negro
William Griffin, who was also burned (;
but the Captains gold watch and ring,
and the steel rim Of his pooket-book were
found The watch WAS blackened by the
fire, bat was still running when taken
from the ashes, one hour and forty-five
minutes after the accident.
The negro, Griffn, though he died q hor-
rible death, exhibited such heroic cool
ness as would have done honor to the an
cient Etoics. His body wss but slightly
injured by the accident, but his feet were
crushed between the timbers Of the cars,
aud all efforts to release him were unavatl-
ing, When his friends found that he could
not be saved. they advised him TO pray.
He pulled on . new pair of buckskin
gloves snd handed them to negro who
had done everything In his power TO res
cue him, with the request that be would
keep them in remembrance of their friend
ship. He then commenced praying, and
continued to do 20 90 long as be could
speak.

THE Liberal REPUs .IcAHs." /"
A Remarkable Manifesto from the erail
Brown Party.

The address just issued by the Lib
ersl Republicans OF Misso uri Is signed by
Governor B. Gratz Brown, Lieuten-
snt-Gov srnor J. J. Gravslly, and other
State officers, and by lsrgs number of
the senators and representatives in the
Missouri legislature. It is one Of the
most interesting political documents ever
issued In Missouri, We copy from 1t as
follows. Il would certainly be well for
the Republicans Of this city and Of ada
@ ut States to read this paper. It has
been before us for some dsys, but this is
