A FataL Resuls of the Storm, .
AN ENa1NEER ON THE W. & N. R. R. K1r,1-

AN ENGINEER ON THE w. & N. r. r. KILL
ED AND A FIREMAN BADLY sCALDED.
Passenger train No. on the Whining
ton % Northern Railroad left Reading at
o'clock, yesterday afternoon, and waa
soon rafting along through the worst part
or the storm. During the entire day, it
had rained very hard along the upper
line OF the road, and sharp lookout
the track.
AT 5.45 O'Clock, the train approached
.Waynesburg Junction near which station
IS q culver6 built over small stream
known as the East branch of the Brandy
WINE. Ordinarily the top of the culvert
Is about nine feet above the level of the
water, but the rain swelled the stream in
TO such a torrent that before the tram
reached that place the culvert was entire
~ washed away, leaving yawning
chasm In the track about IL or is feet in
width.
On account of the darkness and storm
the engineer could not observe this OBJ
structlon in time to stop the tram and
the engine plunged into the stream.
fortunately, however, the train was not
running at a very high rate of speed, and
the cars remained on the track without
receiving any damage, though the pass
engers were severely shocked by the
rough Jolting consequent upon the sud-
den and unusual stoppage of the train.
On the engine the result was not so
fortunate. The engineer, Amos M. Pea
COCK, was thrown into the stream and
drowned, while the firemen, Joseph
Kinsler, was badly scalded by the steam
which escaped from the boiler, The
body of the engineer was not recovered
until IL O'Clock at night, it having been
kept upon the bottom of the stream by
tne engine, and was only extricated after
much trouble.
On account of the nature of the acci-
dent, the train had to remain at stand
still, and the tram hand and passengers
were accommodated for the night by the
residents of the locality. The scalded
fireman was also carefully attended to
and provided with medical assistance.
The regular northbound train for
Reading did not leave here this morning,
and no trains will be run until the track is
entirely repaired. Several other other
culverts on the road were washed and
weakened, and the repairmen were sent
out at an early hour all along the road
Peacock, the dead engineer, resided at
No. 93I Chestnut street, this city, and
leaves wife and thre ee children. Kins-
Ter, the injured fireman, is a resident of
Coatesville, but boards in this city with
Mrs. Cooper, at No. $40 West Front
street
The body will be brought to Whining
ton this afternoon, by way of the r., w

each by vote of 8 to 2. There were
present at the mesting 10 Republicans

According tp some of the Captains 8
strongest opposents, this act of Council
will act disastrously to the Republican

Their operations will be watched with
interest, but secure in his office for
another year, and holding the party reins
in every move, the Captain can laugh
his enemies to scorn.

THE RAILROAD LINES

~
The damage along the different rail-
road lines was not so large as was anticl-
pated by the officials, On the line of the
P. W. q B. Z. r. portion of the track
between Shellpot creek and Edgemoor
washed away. As soon as the officials in
this city were informed of the damage
done, over two hundred workmen were
Immediately dispatched to the scene, and
in very short time the damage was re-
paired. There was also a wash between
havre de Grace and Darlington, which
delayed the night lines from one to three
hours. This morning all trains on the
above line are running on time.
Immediately after the fury OF the
storm was over a special train was got in
readiness and, Carrying large force OF
workmen passed up and down the line
for the purpose of examining the track.
On the Delaware line the interruption
to travel was very slight; the up passen-
ger train, which arrives in this city at s.
SO a. M, was thirty minutes late, owing
to orders received from the Office in this
city, TO run slow and look out for breaks.
Fortunately no washes occurred along
the line, and the only material damage
done was the blowing down OF the
wires, stopping telegraphic coMmunica-
tions.
Travel over the Delaware Western Il.
R., is entirely suspended owing to a cui-
vert being washed out this side OF Kla-
mensie. Workmen are now engaged In
repairing the damage, and trains will run
as usual tomorrow.

ALONG SIMPLIFY Run.

The damage along the line OF this run
is quite large, as is usual in case OF a a
heavy storm. The heaviest is sustal neo
by Mr.. Francis McCloskey. He was en-
gagged in building new culvert over the
run above Eighth street between M aar, Mau,-
pleted, but the great body of water wash
ing down earned it away, necessitating a
complete rebuilding of it. Mr. NC
