CHICAGO, July 27.--Additional particulars
Of the railroad accident at Waukegan, ILL.,,
last night, show that gravel train had been
engaged unloading dirt from north of Lake
Forest and ran close to the time of the Mil
waukee passenger train, which leaves Chica
go at o'clock. The conductor of the train,
Thomas Halligan, waited till the last minute,
then ordered the train to Waukegan. On
the way on a curve, perhaps half mile
south of Waukegan, the engineer saw
a COW lying directly across the track, but
only too late. AS the ten fiat cars which
preceded the engine struck the obstacle they
were thrown from the track and piled into q
huge confusion of debris on both sides of the
track. The engineer, Frank Drew, had re
yersed the engine and jumped for his life.
There were nineteen men on the train. Those
who sought to save themselves by clinging
to the cars were only to be crushedsand
mangled by being thrown underneath the
wheels of the cars. The

THE RESPONSIBILITY FIXED.
BUFFALO, July 27.-The coroner's Jury in
tho case of Irving Hall and Labon Sutor,
who died from injuries received at the late
accident at the East Buffalo round house,
have agreed that the trusses used in the con-
struction of the roof of the round house
were not safe and properly secured; that the
labor employed by Leighton bridge and
iron company and supervision at the time
of accident, were inexperienced and un-
competent and that the Leighton bridge and
IRON company are responsible.
THE PENNSYLVANIA STORM.
PITTsBuRG, Pa, July 27.-The storm of
yesterday, though not Sc severe in the city
Or immediate vicinity, was fearful in it's effect
in the surrounding villages and country. The
principal damage here was in the washing
out of streets and sidewalks. The storm
throughout the lower oil country was very
damaging. The oil town of Petrolia and
Harms suffered terribly. twenty-five houses
in the former place were swept away and the
line of railroad between Parker and Harms
City was submerged, bridges washed out, Gull
verts destroyed and the road ruined in many
places.
The people OF that section in many in
stances barely escaped with their lives. The
rainfall OF the Monongahela valley and along
the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
which skirts the Youghiogheny, was the heav-
lest known for years. Houses, fences, out
buildings, lumber and other property was
swept away and many of the coal mines
flooded. The miners in some of them mar
rowIy escaped drowning.
AT Shroedei's mine near Elizabeth the
men waded out through the water to their
chins. Nearly all the railroad lines center-
ing here, with the exception of the Pennsyl-
vania Central, report more or less damage
and consequent delay to traffic. The only
known loss of life SO far reported is that of
Mrs. DALEY, who was drowned in attempt
lug to cross creek near .Shaner's station on
the Baltimore Il Ohio road.
The damage to growing crops has been
very great, but any approximation of the
sum is beyond compute. At Twins Station
the rainfall is reported to have reached seven
inches, and the Youghiogbeny branch rail
road was damaged in several places, the force
of the water being so great as to break the
stee! rails. The railroad people are hard at
work in all directions, and will have the dam
age repaired in the shortest possible time.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
CLEVELAND, o., July 27.-The Monroe
vile, Ohio, passenger train No. 8, which left
Chicago Junction at 9:45 P. M, July 26th,
jumped the track at Havana, nine miles
south of here, ditching the engine, baggage,
mail and express cars and three coaches, in
stantly killing Engineer James Bague and
the fireman, named Reel. None of the pas
sensers were hurt. A tramp, stealing ride
between the engine aud baggage car, was
slightly injured.
