ALBION N. Y, July GA terrible acci-
dent occurred on the Rome, Watortown and
Ogdensburg railway at Carlyon station about
O;3O o'clock last evening, by which nineteen
persons were killed and thirty wounded.
The train, u double header, was excursion
train No. 80 and bound for Clayton with
Thousand Island tourists, mostly from Michi-
gan. 1t was behind time and at the time of
tho collision was running at tho rate of
forty miles an hour. The wind was blowing
a gale and had either blown freight car off
the side partly on to the main track, or some
malicious person had run it there, when the
excursion train came along.
The collision threw one of the engines on
its end and the other one into the ditch The
baggage car and one of the sleeping cars were
completely demolished. Cars were piled upon
one another until was one vast heap ofruins.
At the time a heavy thunder shower was
passing over and the night was dark. The
shrieks of the dying and wounded were terri
Bile. The crash was heard three miles away.
The fireman was instantly killed, and the
engineer, James Carthy, of the second engine,
was terribly scalded. Ho died after they put
him aboard the train for Oswego The engi-
neer, fireman, and train dispatcher of the first
engine escaped, although all were injured.
One man, who lives only few rods from the
wreck, had driven his son to Lyndonville a
distance of three miles, to take the train, and
returned home just in time to find him a
corpse.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 29.-No more
bodies have been found at the scene of the
railway accident at Carlyon. One lady who
was badly injured, Mrs. Lafevre, of Bay
City, Mich, died this morning. Hor husband
arrived just in time to be recognized by her.
An immense throng has visited the scene of
the disaster, it being estimated that fully
5000 persons were present to-day. Many of
them carried away as relics pieces OF the
wrecked cars. 1t is estimated that the COM
panys loss will be 100000, and may reach
a yet larger sum, as litigation in various ways
will probably grow out of the accident Miss
Mary Troops, who was reported dead,
is only injured, and will recover

At 2 o'clock a special train arrived from
Oswego, having on board Coroner Cochran.
James Bailey, engineer of the first locomotive,
testified that he first saw the car about three
rods ahead He blewfUr brakes and reversed
the engine. The next thing he knew he was
in the ditch.
Albert Perry, the track walker, testified
that he went over the track about half an
hour before the collision and everything was
all right. Yet it seems from other testimony
that freight car was blown 12S feet with the
brakes set, as testified by brakeman, which
appears hardly credible, The depot master
says he did not examine or look to see if
everything was all right The testimony OF
the witnesses was so conflicting that the jury
were unable to agree upon q verdict at once
and adjourned until Wednesday.
