The following, from q special to the
Cleveland Leader, ia the very latest from
the wreck at Ashtabula:
The hargard dawn which drove the
darkness ous OF this valley and shadow
of death seldom saw a ghastlier sight
than was revealed with the coming of
this morning. On either side Of the ra-
vine frownei the dark and bare arches
from which the t~reacherous timbcrs had
fallen, while ct their base the great
heaps Of ruins covered the hundred men,
women aud children who had so suddenly
been called to their death. The TIRES
charred bodies lay where they had been
placed in the hurry ard confusion Of the
night. Piles Of iron lay on the thick
ice or bsdded in the shallow water OF the
stream. The fires shoulder in great
heaps where many Of the helpless vic.
tins had been consumed, while men
went about in Wild excitement, seeking
some trace OF g lest one among the
wounded or dead. The list Of saved and
wounded having been already sent, the
sad task remains Of discovering who
may be among tie dead. The latter task
will be the most difficult Of all until the
continued absence Of hsre and there a
friend will allow Of but the one explana
ton that be was among those who took
this fatal leap.
