Frank McGraw, the Central rail
road brakeman through whose neglect
an accident occurreo which RESULT d
in the death of Benjamin F. Wood
worth, an express messenger, has bean
arrested at Buffalo, on a charge Of
manslaughter. McGraw was sent back
to flag train, and was left in the
bitter cold for more than three hours
Unable to longer endure it, and his
arms being already paralyzed, he
sought shelter in a caboose, on a side
track, and while there the train he
had been instructed to flag passed
him without the signal being observed
McGraw showed the jury that he hac
not been in bed for one week previous
and for two days had not tasted food
being detained on the road by acct
dents. The feeling is in his favor, ant
intensely bitter against the New Iorl
Central railroad company.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

On Friday last terrible railroad
accident occurred at Ashtabula, Ollo,
on the Lake Shore railroad, which
resulted in the total wreck Of seven
passenger coaches and fearful loss
Of life. The following despatch taken
from the Bait. Gazette of last Satur-
day will give some idea of the acct
dent and it's results:
CLEVELAND, December ga ter
rible accident has occurred at Ash
tabula, Ohio. A Lake Shore train
bound west went through an iron
bridge IS feet, to the water below
1t is reported that seven coaches and
all the baggage and the express car
were burned. About one out OF
every FIVE persons aboard the train
have been killed. The scene OF the
accident is a few rods east of the de-
pot. The iron bridge spands Ashta-
bula creek. On both sides are high
banks. Snow has been falling almost
constantly during the past forty-elght
hours, and now a driving storm is
raging, making it very difficult to get
news from the wrecked and burning
train. Very few particulars can be
learned at this hour. The citizens OF
Ashtabula, with a competent corps OF
physicians, are doing everything pos,
sible for the sufferers.
It is estimated there were l75 pas
sengers on the trim. At least one
third of these We're killed, burned to
death or frozen. The train was drawn
by two engines. One engine remained
on the bridge. Everything else went
down. The engineer and fireman on
the engine that went down were bad
ly but not seriously injured. The
work of removing the dead bodies
goes on very slowly.
On the same day the Montreal ex-
press broke through a bridge just
south of Pitts6eld station at mid
night. The train and bridge We're
badly wrecked. So far as heard from
no lives were lost.
