ANOTHER COLLISION.
A Stupid Conductor.
Four Persons Killed.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 22-Passengers by the
"est pound train on the Marietta and Cincin-
natl railroad bring in the main confirmatory
accounts of the collision near Montgomery sta
tiom with some additional particulars.
=. Inc Hillsborongh and Loveland accommoda-
I,on Train left Montgomery station on time
Inc freight train bound from Chlicothe to this
city was behind time. 1t is said that the con-
d9ctor watch was fifteen minutes slow and in
aGdltlon, 1t is estimated that the engineer, with
Wnom he had some hard words at Loveland,
SAID ne would get him into difficulty before he
got TO Cincinnati. At any rate the freight
IRAN started out and the two trains met on
curve Both engines reared upward and stood
almost erect, the baggage cars followed. The
passenger coaches remained on the track but
tne shock to the passengers was terrible Chas
h0ther remained on the engine with his father,
the engineer, and was crushed between the fire
box and tender. The father escaped without
apparently serious bodily injury but was so
much moved with the excitement of the disas-
ter that he came away from the wreck with
dis0rdered mind.
The brakeman in response to the signal down
brakes was assisting the baggage master to
WIND up his brake when the shock came and
both were crushed to death. Walter Rhodes,
an express messenger and brother of j. r.
Rhodes superintendent of the Adams Express
of this city, received injuries from which he
died just after reaching the Cincinnati depot
this morning, making four de aths in all.
The verdict of the jury was that the deceased
came to their death by the criminal neglect of

negroes, occurred in Maryland to-day. A few
minutes past o'clock this morning Levin Pal
mer, aged 35 years, was executed at Towsen-

young man of %, was executed for murder.
When Mr.. Slit, his spiritual adviser entered
his cell this morning. Palmer became SO excit
ed that he raved and seemed entirely to have
forgot himself. In the excess of mis- religious
frenzy he shouted, clapped his hands, jumped
up, knelt down, shook hands with all and threw
himself into various attitudes.
The hanging of West was violent scene.
Tie white cap vas placed over his head, the
rope around his neck and at three minutes past
ten the trap was sprung and the body fell In
an instant the scene was terrible and sickening
His whole body was in violent struggle, swing
ing to and fro, his hands clutched convulsively
and were drawn up and down, and his head
moved back and forth with spasmodic jerks
The blood gushed from his nostrils, saturating
the white cap in front and behind, and stream
ing down his neck and shoulders. The spasms
continued between five and eight minutes, after
which the body was at rest.
