Dreadful Calamity on the Lake Shore
Railroad.

The most disastrous railroad accident since
the Angola horror in 1868 occurred at Ashts-
buIa station, sixty-fre miles east Of Cleveland,
Ohio, Friday night last. A heavy fall of
snow, accompanied by n gale of wind, had
prevailed during the day, and on all sides the
snow had drifted into huge mountains, and
trains going either way were greatly delayed
The Pacific express, which left Buffalo al
10 20 p. NJ =, and was due at Ashtabula station
at IL quarter-past nine, was over two hours
late, and upon reaching the iron truss bridge,
which spans the Ashtabula river a few rods
east of the station, the structure gave way,
precipitating the train of eight coaches and
three baggage cars into the chasm. The bridge
was IN iron truss of 100 feet span, the track
being sixty feet above the water level. The
train was drawn by two locomotives, the tor
ward one breaking loose from the other us
the bridge gave way, and escaping on the
very brink Of the fearful gulf; the other engine
following the quivering mass OF humanity and
crushing coaches and adding TO the horror by
the rushing steam that came from the crushed
monster.
Hardly had the falling coaches reached the
ground after this fearful leap ere the flames
burst forth on all sides, and the bleeding and
mangled bodies became food for the pililess
FIRE. The groans of the dying, the cries OF the
wounded and the agonizing appeals of those
whose bare chance for life was being swallow
ed up by the flames rendered the scene one Of
unparalleled horror, the recollection Of which
will never be forgotten by those who lived
through that hour of indescribable agony.
There were l72 passengers on the train at the
time of the disaster, and of this number it is
believed that about one hundred and twenty
human beings persisted.

The Doomed Temple.

The Inflated Brooklyn Theatre was con-
structed on ;he site of St. Johns church,
which had been surrounded with cemetery
Mrs. Conway felt nervous about the place
from the first day it was proposed. She was
superstilous, and feared the dcsecration OF
hallowed ground. From the first the place
failed to pay. She lived on the floor above
the main entrance, and often her superstitious
dread of the place WAS so great that she would
go and pass the night at some hotel. What
ADDED to her terror and dislike was the fact
that she began sinking money from the first,
and little by little her small fortune went
away from her. Then her husband died and
among his last words was recommendation
to leave the fatal place Two years later MIS-
Conway herself was stricken with sickness
When first placed on her bed she said
she would die unless removed to some
other place, Bat she was persuaded TO remain
In her hallucination she hncied she heal I'd
bones of the dead beneath The theatre rattle in
their boxes.

TO have deserted or got drunk. The play will
be both VIVID and striking, with the usual low
rnusic and SLOW curtain, while the heavy vii

off with the stage property, while the low
comedian, Grant, expires with jm-jam amid
tremendous applause. Exeunt supes Fish and
Taft, followed by U. S. troops and female
clerks. Thus will close the Great American

worst enemy, but who enjoyed his life while it
lasted far better than hose who are their own

dictated his politics but whose overhowing
generosity wrecked his fortune and controlled
his heart-.-the man whose teeming brain
played him shabby trick at last, and who
died finally within the borders of his native
State three days before the newspapers dis

A SINGULAR WEDDING has just occurred at

accomplished daughter Of the vicar Of a coun-

Swift on the heels Of the Brook lyn horror
two other tragedies, only few degrees less
fatal, have occurred. On Friday night last
the wrecking of passenger train on the Lake
Shore railroad caused the loss Of more than
one hundred lives, and Mt AN early hour on
Saturday morning the ship CiFcassian, which
bad been driven ou the beach near Sag IIarbor,
Long ISLAND, on the llh Of December, was
overwhelmed By an ocean storm, aud twenty
eight men on board instantly persisted.
The former calamity was the most distress
ing. Without a moments notice nearly two
handred persons were suddenly threatened
with the four-fold peril of being burned,
drowned, frozen or crushed TO death, and the
danger was so imminent that before its victims
oould "a; rlv raali1e IA p,ast of than ara IA
stroyed so utterly that even their remains can
mol be recognized or recovered.
There is a seeming tendency in late events
10 improve the prospect of a peaceful adjust
rnent of the electoral difficulties. Several Of
the members of the Senate committee appointed
TO devise method of countng the vote in
that an agreement would finally DO reached
with the corresponding House committee. The
probability OF such an adjustment will not be
diminished by the withdrawal of Mr.. Logan
aud the substitution of Mr.. Coukling which
occurred last Friday. For the present the
main thing attempted is 10 obtain compre-
hensive statement, in writing, OF the views OF
leading members Of the committee 10 regard to
the course that should be pursued in every dis
pnied point and every contingency that is
likely to arise. Similar action will probably
be taken by the House committee, and out of
the multitude of plans likely to he presented
there may be system devised that viii re-
ceive the sanction OF majority Of the members
of both branches Of Congress.
The centennial year has just been carefully
buried by Ola Father Tine.
