Seldom does it happen that man is sub
jcctcd to q more agonizing. suspense than
was Mr.. Jonah Fisher, chief OF Transports
ton OF the. Virginia Midland road, yester-
day morning at the time OF the COLLISION
which then occurred near Bull Kun. Con-
ductor Goodrich had arrived at Manassas
with his large freight and stock train, and
telegraphed to Mr.. Fisher for directions. A
reDly was sent to come to Burke's for orders,
bit TO foNo,D rules. Had rules been fol-
lowed MIR. Goodrich would have waited at
Manassas for the mail to pass, and then gone
ON toBurke's. But for once he forgot him.
self, and without rejecting that there was
no default in the mail train, which would
give him the right OF the road, he started
his train, Mr.. Whitttngton, telegraph ope-
rator at Manassas, who had handed Good
rick the telegram, seeing him move OUT,
supposed he was only going down to clear
the switch and come back, but to his dis'
may saw the train sweep on down the track
to its doom. He at once telegraphed
the fact to Mr.. Fisher, who had Just re-
ceiyed a telegram from Clifton according
to the rules) telling him OF the starting OF
the mail train up only two minutes behind
time. With his knowledge Of the road and
train speed Mr. Fisher thus not only knew
the fact that collision must come, but was
able to fix the very time OF it to minute,
and the very place where it should
occur, which he did do to the nicely
of Il less distance than two hundred
Yards! The dreadful crash, though
thirty miles away, came to his ears as audi
bly as to the farmer ploughing in the ada
cent field, and in his minds eye the terrible
scene was as viyidly pictured as though ne
