FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Three Loaded Coal Trains Thrown
Down High Embark ment.
Not One of the TrAin.Hands Left Alive
TO Tell the Terrible Tale.

KEYsER, w. VA, January 23.-News has
come here that one of the most terrible and
fatal railroad accidents that ever occurred
iu this part of the country happened on the
Georges Creek and Cumberland railroad,
running from Cumberland to Lonaconipg,
to-day. 1t seems thai three coal trains,
consisting of three locomotives, 6fty-two
hoppers and seventeen gondolas, all
loaded, started from Cumberland about 2
o'clock this afternoon, all coupled together,
one engine in front, another in the middle,
and one in the rear, this being the safest way
to get down the grades this bad weather In
going down one of the steep grades
about ten miles from Cumberland the
train started down the steep incline at
fearful rate of speed. The train kept the
track until they got on 20 trestle work hav-
ing reverse curve. The front engine few
the track, dragging all the men, sixty nine
cars and locomotives after il, all
rolling and iumbling down a steep
hill, which was between eighty and
100 feet high, on 10 the tracks on
the Eckhart branch of the Cumberland
and PennsyIvania railroad. The loss OF lie
is fearful, seven dead bodies being found In
The wreck and more missing. Each train
consisted of a conductor, two Drakemen,
fireman and engineer-in all fifteen human
beiDgs-not one Of whom can be found
alive to tell the fearful tale. 1t
is supposed the other bodies are
either among tbs wreck or have jumped to
save their lives aud are lying down the
mountain somewhere, either dead or badly
hurt, and, exposed to night like this, will
surely freezs 10 death. The loss will fall
heavy on this road, it being recently built.

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Supposed Haman Remsius Turn Out to
be Beef and n uttOn.

Los ANGELES, CAL, January 23.-Yester-
day afternoon the doctors commenced the
work of carefully examining, for The first
time, the bodies which had been picked up
at the wreck. The word bodies, as here
used, signifies portions oil the humsn form
in many instances 4 handful of wbitened
bits of bones being all that remained of
what had been a form. The doctors made
the following discovery; Some of the boxes
in which were placed what was supposed TO
be human remains contained ehsrred and
cooked flesh, either of beef or mutton. After
careful examination they concluded that
six of the boxes possibly contained no
human remains, and Of one more they were
in such doubt hat this evening an exsmina-
ton was made of all the supposed human
remains, which resulted in pronouncing alb
solulely that seven more boxes did not cou-
tain human flesh. The duplicate chart OF the
passenger sleeper shows that every one who
took passage is accounted for. Four bodies
those of c. r. Pierson, Wright, porter,
Ferdinand Brumford and Thomas Kesgap,
ex.soldiers-were without any disfgur-
ing or mutilAtiou, and hence readily
Identified. The remains of Col. Lsrabia
have been positively identified as have also
those OF Miss NJ E Squires, Mrs. Downey
and Lawrence, porter of the through sleeper.
Enough has been brought to light 10 identify
the remains OF l.. Weoeret and those of H.
A. Oliver. These, added to the recognized
remain OF Mr.. Schlinghyde, who boarded
the doomed train at Fresno, make the mum
Der Of dead accounted for twelve. Two
bodies still remain unrecognizsd, and the
clews for their identification are go slight
that it is possible they will never be known,
The remains may have been those Of tramps
stealing ride; at all events, every passenger
on the chart of the sleepers has been ac-
counted for as living or dead The supposed
bodies of seven persons have been pro.
nounced the burned flesh and bones of no n
human apinals and what strengthens the
position taken by the medical mea is the
| fact that thnse pronounced buman were
| taken from the ruins of the express and
baggage cars.

CHALMERS VS.. MYERS.
The Jury Returu a Verdict for the
Plafntin-An Appeal TO be Taken.

Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, January 23.-1he mandamus
case of Chalmers Us. Myers was finally SUBJ
mitted ito the jury to-day, who, under in
slruclions from the Court, returned verdict
for the plaintiff. ALI of The numerous points
retssd on by counsel for the secretary of state
had been previously disposed Of on the de-
murrer except the naked fact of whether the
secretary had refused to count the vote for
Chalmers before tine restraining suit Of
mandamus issued. To this point no evi.
dence was directed. and although there were
conflicting statements about the refusal by
the secretary in so many words of denial,
the Court held that there was clear refusal
in the meaning Of the statute, and to hold
otherwise would make the writ OF M and anus
nullily and the people without remedy.
Judge Wharton's opinion in the ruling on
instructions taking the case virtually from
the discretion OF the jury WAS an earnest and
able presentation Of law as governing sd-
mitted facts, and has met with general ap.
prevail. The secretary will appeal at once
tothe Supreme Court, where it is thought
the case can be reached and disposed of be-
fore the 4th of March
