THE CHESTER ACCIDENT.

BY Telegraph 10 the GAZETTE.
H CHESTER, May %.
Later rparttculdrs-The Number XII led and
Wounded. .u..
This morning while preparations for
the laupch of the vessel Saratoga"
were in progress. at Reaches ship-yard
in this place, terrible accident oc-
CURED rivaling anything of a similar
nature that has happened for years.
While the workmen were engaged in
wedgeing the vessel up, ,..preparatory.to
starting her on her wayout to the river
with moments warning she started
prematurely down the stocks and
before the men engaged under the
sides, could get out Of her way, she
had crushed seven of them and injur-
ed two Others. 1t is stated on reliable
authority that number of other per-
sons were injured more OF less serious
ly. The killed and wounded are all
workmen employees in the yard, the
vessel reached the river safely, and
rode out quite distance into the
river. These are rumors that some
persons were drowned but they can
be traced to to no reliable source. 1t
is impossible to give the number of
wounded as many went away and
others were removed by their friends.
1t is estimated on good grounds that
between 10 and 20 are injured.
The names of those killed are Edwin
Burke, Barney Cannon, George o. Wolfe
Charles Wright, Sr, Edward Fowler,
John Nelson, and James Parkerson.
Their ages could not be ascertained at
this early hour. James Kasson and j.
j. Grew, were badly injured. Work has
been suspended at the yard, and through
out the works for the balance of the day,
| and the entire city has been thrown into
a state of ferment, and excitement un-
known for years. The gates of the yard
| are closed, and the vicinity of the yard is
| filled with an anxious throng of friends
and relatives of fworkmen. and an excited
crowd of citizens and visitors from neigh
| boring towns. The Saratoga was built
for the firm Of e. Wood & Co., Of
New York, and is destined to ply bes
tween that city and Havana. Further
particulars will be given as soon as it is
possible to get them.

4 TERRIBLE. ACCIDENT 1T
CHESTER.
A DISASTROUS sLAUNCH--SEvEN
-t. MEN KILLED. ......s

This morning, at Roach's ship yard,
Chester, large number of people as
sembled to witness the launching of a
new steamer which was ready to be COM
mitted to the water.
About five minutes past eight o'clock,
when 1t was supposed that everything
was in readiness,the bow stays were saw
ed in two and the vessel glided down the
ways into the water. At first it was
supposed that the launch was highly sue
cessful, but suddenly the cry arose that
A MAN WAS KILLED,
followed by the still more startling an
nouncement that large number of men
had been caught on the ways, and were
crushed to death between the vessel and
the surrounding timbers.
Such was the fact, which in an instant
became apparent to all the people pres
ent, and a scene of indescribable excite
ment followed. Men stood paralyzed,
while women and children shrieked in
terror. Some few men, however, had
sufficient composure to rush upon the
ways and remove the bodies of the dead
and wounded before they were carried
away by the returning waters. Seven
mangled bodies were thus taken away,
some of them crushed out of all shape OF
humanity, and resembling only hideous
mass of flesh, bones and blood. One man
HAD HIS HEAD CRUSHED OFF,
and another had his leg cut off above the
knee as though 1t had been done with a
large knife. Other bodies were so twisted
and mangled that they were horrible to
look upon.
The cause of the casualty was that the
vessel was finally released before all the
blocks and stays were removed, and
when she glided into the water a number
of men were still at work under the
stern. These men were caught in ter
rible trap, and before they knew theiI
danger were either crushed and mangled
among the timbers or swept out into the
river and drow ned. 1t is supposed thai
others besides those whose bodies were
recovered were swept out into the rivel
and drowned.

warm weather the meetings would be dis
continued in the hall and would be trans
ferred to a large tent that has been erected
for the purpose, on the lot at Twelfth and
Market streets. Mr.. Lee stated that Mr..

short time, and that he desired to meet him
at the depot with one thousand temper
ance men. The pledge book now contains
