calling help! help! save uS!' The peo-
pie in the rigging replied, ''come to the
rigging; we cannot move" The girls,
half-benumbed and no longer able to
swim, cried out for the last time, ''we can
not come" and disappeared beneath the
waves.
HAMBURG, Jan. 23.-Twenty- thou
sand pounds is demanded as the surety for
the steamer Sultan. The national courts
have taken the case IN hand. Another
passenger was seen to cut his throat when
the Cimbria was sinking. The German
press combined to violently attack the
Captain of the Sultan for deserving the
Cimbria.
The terror on board was indescribable.
A married couple cut their own throats, in
order that they might die together. The
ships surgeon encouraged those in the
rigging to hold fast, telling them the
Sultan would soon rescue them, but several
became delirious and let go their hold.
The surgeon subsequently leaped into the
sea, saying he would make an end of it,
-1HOtIteI Train Horror.
KEYsER, W. Va, Jan. 23.-One of the
most terrible and fatal railroad accidents
that ever occurred in this part of the coun-
try happened on the Georges Creek &
Cumberland Valley railroad, running from
Cumberland to Homecoming to-day. 1t
seems that three coal trains, consisting of
three locomotives, fifty-two hoppers and
seventeen gondolas, all loaded, started
from Cumberland about o'clock this
afternoon, all coupled together, one en-
CINE in front, another in
the middle and one in the rear,
this being the safest way to get
down 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 to trestle work having reverse
curve. The front engine few the track,
dragging all the men, sixty-nine cars and
locomotives after it, all going rolling and
tumbling down steep hill, which was be-
tween so and 100 feet high, onto the
tracks of the Renbart branch of
the Cumberland & Pennsylvania railroad.
The loss of life is fearful, seven dead
bodies being found mid the wreck, and
more were missing. Each train consisted
of a conductor and brakeman, fireman and
engineer, in all fifteen human beings, not
one of which can be found alive TO tell the
tale. 1t is supposed the other bodies are
either among the wreck or have jumped to
save their lives and are lying down
the mountain somewhere, either
dead or badly hurt; and if
exposed to a night like this will surely
freeze to death. So far we are unable to
give the names Of the killed. The loss
will fall heavily on this road, it being re-
Gently built.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Jan. 23.-About ?
O'Clock this afternoon a wheel broke under
the car OF coal train on the Georges
Creek & Cumberland road, near Pompeii
Smash, seven miles west of this city, throw
ing about sixty loaded cars and two
locomotives down the embankment.
Harry Baldwin, fireman, and William
Lyons and James McGettigen, brakemen,
were killed, and Martin Welsh, engineer,
died soon after from injuries. Daniel
Bradley, fireman; Jas. Dolen, engineer, and
George Focken and Solomon Gross, brake
men, were injured. All the killed and in
jured resided in Cumberland. The body
of Baldwin has not yet been recovered
from the wreck, which is of such extent as
to block the road for several days. The
loss to the railroad company can not now
be estimated.
