CoIIision...Scvcn Persons Killed.

New YORK, July 6,-At two O'clock
this afternoon a collision occurred on the
South Side Railroad, near Far RocEaway,
between two passenger trains, Seven per-
sons were killed, and about twenty in
jured. Both OF the trains are completely
wrecked.
PARTICULARS OF THE DIsAsTER-LIST OF
KILLED.
New YORK July 5.-The dispatches ar
irving from the scene OF the disaster at
Far Rockaway are meager. So far as
can be learned up to the present the fol-
lowing is the list OF killed: j. Hibbard,
conductor, residing at Flushing, Mr..
Hartman, icwclcr, corner Broadway and
Second street Brooklyn, W, II. Gould OF
Far Rockaway, Mr.. Thurman, OF lO2
Broadway, Brooklyn, Mr., p. Fiier OF l2l
North second street, Brooklyn, Mr.. kChel
OF II Chambers street, New York, Mr.,
VIM. Bradley OF Maiden Lane. Among
the killed are two unknown men.
The following are the names OF those
who will not recover: John Ataler,
500 Union street, Brooklyn, 7, Walch, .
Pearl street \. Y, Thomas IolinsOn,
Greenpoint, l.. l., and Jacob New Of the
same place, Mrs, Pringlc, 7Si Greenwich
street n. Y, VIM. Quin, yesterday, l., !,
In all there are 27 wounded. Coroner
Hicks is holding an inquest There are
rumors from reliable source which say
that President Poppinhousen ordered the
train from Rockaway to start. The
train from Rockaway was on time, and
the President OF the line disappeared as
soon US the accident occurred, he was
badly frightened. The engineer and fire.
man saved themselves by jumping from
the engine. The trains were excursion
trains crowded with passengers. Two
Of the men who were killed were
sitting beside their wives and children,
who escaped without u scratch,
A new time table was published to-
day, which probably may account for the
sad accident. The engineer states that
he was running ten miles an hour, hCav-
lily laden and crowded with passengers,
lie saw the smoke OF the coming engine
aud whistled "down brakes nOtwilh-
standing which the engines were tClc.
scOped. Many Of the wounded were left
at the scene Of the disaster while the dead
were being carried to the nearest hotels
and residences. 1t is impossible to tell
either the number Of killed or wounded,
as there nre some supposed to remain in
the debris, while number have been ta-
ken away by their friends. There is great
excitement and intense feeling Of in.
dignation. Some fault lies at the door Of
the telegraph operator, and that Wood.
burry's message said come; the train was
still on the switch. This does not receive
much belief. The train to Rockawuy,
had the right of way, and three min.
utcs to run one mile. The dead were
terribly mutilated. John Ellcrs, real
estate agent Of Brooklyn, was also among
the killed.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the l'arkerslurg

commends the Hon. q. p. Camden for the
vacancy in the Supreme Court ofAppcnls.
The Charleston Chronicle suggests that
perhaps the people OF Harrison county
could not spare the Judge from the Leg.
islature.
We observe also that two or three
Democratic papers have suggested the
name Of Judge Thompson Of this county
for the same position. We areunablc tC
see why either Of these gentlemen should
aspire to position on the bench, a' they
are both in independent circumstances
and we'll advanced in years. The pay Is
small and the work is hard Of Judge oI

duty conscientioualy. We should sup
pose that our ancient friend, Judge
Thompson, would prefer to dwell with
the philosophers, ancient and modern
and continue to explain the mysteries oI
