WASHINGTON, September 22.-In the

withstandiug the evidence of Whitley, that
he (Whit -ly) was not in New York on the
sixth OF April, he was, and that he (Hayesl was
satisfied that he called upon Whitley on the
sixth of April by more than one hundred in

THE KILLED AND WOUNDED

were brought to the Union depot, from
whence the wounded were removed to the
hotels, the greater PORTION going 10 the Ex-
change and National. Physicians from The
city responded promptly, and were this morn
ing busily engaged in min siertng to the wants
OF their patients. In the confusion which
prevailed 1t was hard TO get the names of the
killed and wounded Four persons are known
to have been k lied outright-Jwo men and
two children. One OF the killed is a son OF 8.
P. Bennett, OF Cairo, Illinois; and Lizzie Ban
croft, of Philadelphia, child thrfe years old.
One of the men is said to be from st Louis
and the other from Hamilton, Ohio Of the
wounded no adequate idea can be given of the
number. Many of them took their regular
trains at the depot and departed for their
homes without reporting to any one. 1t is
variously estimated that there must have
Seen between thirty and forty per-
sons who were more or less in
jured by the accident. Some OF the
woands are very slight, while others are quite
serious, many of the injuries bel g about the
head and upper portion of the body. The
Union depot this morning had somewhat the
appearance of hastily devised hospital. The
emigrant room had been used to receive The
wounded, where they were placed on hastily
constructed beds and fro which they were
to be removed to the hotels. All but two hal

scene this morning, and they were very badly
wounded, one of whom will perhaps die.
About the depot waiting for trains were
