The Recent Railroad Disaster.
WI1M,SGroN, N. c., June ls.-Colonel
S. l.. Fremond, chief engineer and general
superintendent Of the Carolina Central rail
way, telegraphs to-day, from the scene of
the recent disaster, the following expiana-
ton Of the cause Of the accident:
The most terrific rain storm ever Bnown
here has prevailed. S'xinches of rain. it Is
said, fell in about three or tour hours, The
culvert was in good order, and so far as
I can see, is SO now. The rain tell IN such
torrents that it choked the cuivert, and the
water apparently rose go high that it soaked
through the bank and finally broke =. All
this work OF construction was done IN lStO
and 1867, and the Dank is hard and solid
all about the culvert, and stood, perhaps, a
Thousand rains before.
As the rails were not carried away with
the bank, but remained suspended, with
the cross-ties hanging IN their place, and
the break in tie bank not being longer than
the engine and tender, the engineer saw
nothing wrong until he was upon it. Be
| sides this, it Is at the END Of cut and
curve that prevented it being seen until
within two hundred feet.
