This occurred at i:3O =. ". About
forty passengers were aboard The
smoking and baggage ears turned com
pletely over, and the huge wheels Ol the
trucks were straight up in mid air. The
last car made two revolutions and land
ell on It's side-almOst upside down. NJ
Imagination, however vivid, can picture
the scene that followed The passen-
gers. everv one more or less in
jured, sent up cries Of agony that
rent the air and struck CONSERVATION u
the hearts Of those who were unable tu
render assistance. Willing hands re-
moved the drbris from the groaning pas
sengers, twelve OF whom were injured
80 badly that only the kind offices oi
those present saved them from terri
bile death. At the moment the accident
occurred,
HON. LORENZO DANFoRD,
Of st. Clairsville, and Prosecuting At
torney Spriggs, Of Woodsield, were just
shaking hands on some political COM
pact. Mr.. DaniOrd only remembers
that he broke door Of the car open aud
dragged himself out, and Mr.. Spriggs
only came 10 himself when he was about
nifty wards up the hill. Mr. Danford re-
ceiyed frightful scalp wound,
which extended oyer the. entire front
part of his head. In addition Ia this
wound, his legs were caught as hs
thinks, in some of the seats, and re-
celyed such a severe twist that his phy-
slclans question II .he has not received
fatal injuries. We called ON Mr.. Dan.
iord at L. O'Clock, midnight, and he as
sured us that he would be- on his icet in
time Ia give General Grant vote. lie
exhibits more stOlCism than We ever
saw shown by badly wounded man.
The doctuJs tell me that his lndomltable
will will probably triumph, aud they
express favorable hope Of his recovery.
