PARKERsBURs,, March 2.-One. of the
most disastrous accidents that ever happen
ed on the B. & o. r. Il. occurred last night
at Toll Gate, a point forty-five miles east OF
this city. The fast line going west, con-
sisting engine No. +06, baggage car, two
passenger coaches and sleeper which left
Grafton at $40 o'clock, was running about
forty miles an hour, when Just as it reach
ed Toll Gate, it was thrown from the track
by a large stone, about three feet in length
and five inches in thickness, which had
fallen on the track within few feet Of the
platform.
From Mr.. Ballard. OF New York, who
was a passenger on the ill-fated train, we
learn the following particulars: The train
consisted OF one baggage and mail car, two
passenger coaches and one sleeper. When
the engine struck the rock, it left the track,
followed by all the other coaches except
the sleeper. THE engine was turned COM
pletely around, facing the coaches, and the
baggage car was thrown across the track.
In the track underneath the wreck was
found the engineer, John Guigley, dead,
and the fireman, John +. Brunner, who
was fatally injured by wounds in the chest.
He lived but an hour, in an unconscious
condition. Both men were residents OF
Grafton, and leave families. This was
Brunner's first trip for several weeks.
The train contained forty passengers, all
of whom escaped unharmed, with the cx-
ception OF few bruises.
The train Immediately caught fire, with
the exception of the sleeper, which was
cut loose and run back from the wreck.
and was entirely consumed. The mail and
baggage, with the exception OF few small
pieces of the latter was saved.
The fire was communicated to the rail-
road platform on which was standing a lot
of carbon oil. and the platform adjoining
the store Of George James, the latter also
took lire and was totally destroyed, but the
inmates escaped unharmed.
Mr.. James was q former resident of this
city and had but recently located at Toll
Gate, and had no insurance on his property.
No blame is attached to any one, the ac-
cident being one of those unfortunate
occurrences for which no one is to blame.
