The accident on the Bellaire and South
Western was, fortunately, not so bad as
reported. The trestle over which the
train went Is No. 8, but 1t Is not the one
over which the other train fell. Thison
Is Just this side OF Rocky Forks mouth,
near Captina. Its about thirty feet long.
The train consisted OF two cars aud the
hind truck, taking the two cars off, on tue
inside OF the curve. This happened when
the train was at the end OF the trestle and
the rear car fell not very far, while the
front one merely tipped over on the
ground. Some logs were where the rear
car fell, and these made the damage to the
car greater than It would otherwise have
been. There were about twenty persons
In this car but none OF them were hurt.
Mr.. VIM. Smith, Of Woodsield and s. N.
Armour, OF Pittsburgh, were standing on
the platform and jumped onto the trestle.
These were the only two hurt badly. Mr..
Smiths leg was broken above
the knee and Mr.. Armour was
hurt in the back and perhaps
internally. Neither fell from the trestle.
Julius Armstrong, OF this place, had his
hand cut some, aud little Edna had her
face blistered some. They came home in

ported, by some passenger on the morn
ing's train, as lying dangerously hurt at
Armstrong;, but the last nights train
men say there were two only, Smith and
Armour, hurt much. Will Dantord, the
mail agent, got nothing but q jarring, and
went out again Friday evening.

accident, went over to the Baltimore and
Ohio, at Glencoe, and got on freight to
Quincy, whence he telegraphed here to
Judge Anderson, the first news Of the dis
aster. He reported three men hurt,
but gave no names. There were
great many severe criticisms heard,
when the news became known
Friday morning, on the company's run
ming the top heavy cars which have gone
over so many times. But 1t is the opinion
Of Mr.. Geo. Henry, the Superintendent Of
the road, that the fault is In the track.
Ever since his taking charge OF the road
he has been laboring to have the outer
rails on all curves lowered, claiming that
the pitch was too greatl In proof OF this
claim he points 70 both these accidents,
where the trains went off on the inside Of
the curves. The work Of alteration has
been going on as rapidly as possible, but
1t takes time, and this curve was one Of
