CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
Further advices give as the probable cause
of the accident that when the train stopped
the air brakes We're applied. On detaching
the engine the brakes relaxed, and the hand
brakes were either left open or were not
strong enough to hold the train. The
movement may have been helped by the
strong gale blowing. 1t is now certain that
eighteen passengers and two sleeping-ca r
porters were killed and ten or twelve badly
injured Seventeen bodies have been re-

Superintendent Fillmore says it is not yet
known who was to blame, but some one has
been careless. The matter will be thor
oughly investigated. The train carried from
this city one pouch of registered letters for
St Louis, Mo, and about one hundred small

of the forms and shapes assumed by the cards
are noticeably quaint, and some of them rather
deceptive. For instance, what appears to be
merely a small square card of white, decorated
with an Easter motto and fringed edges, when
opened to its fullest extent proves to be a cross
divided into six equal squares, each ornamented
with different design in cOlors. Others open
in the form of church doors, disclosing under
meath various greetings, together with approprl-

well as one of the daintlest is shown in book

the whole length with sprays of delicately-tlnted
apple blossoms with the green leaves and brown
