THE RACES AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY.
The New York Herald OF to-day says: ga fresh
disaster. accompanied by loss of life, was added
last night to the tragic record with which the
Long Island railroad closes the summer season.
Either through the carelessness OF an engineer or
the use OF defective airbrakes the train which eft
Manhattan Beach at O'Clock in the evening
dashed into North Shore locomotive at Hunters
Point: i The engine Of the train, as Wen as that
with Which 1t collided was reduced to a shapeless
heap OF shattered metal. The forward cars or the
train were also crushed into fragments. In the
sudden and terrible collision many suffered in1u-
ries: rev OF the passengers, indeed. escaped a
6rulse or scar. Two men lost their lives In the
dlsaster, and three others had to be removed from
the scene OF the accident in an ambulance. The
hospital surgeons found the injuries OF all these
very serious, and 1t is thought not improba BILE
tended.n
There are no Washingronians among the killed
or injured, although several were on the train.
