The Railroad Accident.

The railroad company made rapid prog
ress yesterday in the work of clearing away
the wreck at the scene of the accident near
Orange on Thursday.
Before many hours elapsed it was certain
that no mere bodies were buried beneath
the debris. the engine was placed in po-
sition to be drawn up on the track as coon
as the track itself can be repaired, aud the
hanging sleeper was removed.
Among the passengers on the train WAS
General Longstreet, who was on the sleeper
which remained on the track. He and 9th
er occupants escaped injury. The general
got out through the bottom and went to
work assisting the less fortunate. He
worked until day and then laid down to
rest. He did not examine the trestle and
could assign no cause as to the accident.
1t was Miss Alexander, formerly of Am
herst. hut now residing in Lewiston, Pa,
who, although bruised and shocked By the
wreck, attended the wounded and suher-
ing.
The bodies of Miss Brown and Messrs.
Cortex and Francis have been buried at
Orange.
Fannie Brown was the name of the young
white woman whose head was crushed to a
pulp and who lay unidentified yesterday at
the depot at Orange. There was found IN q
seat near where she had set In the smoking
car an envelope which contained second
class ticket to Greenvile, 2. c f, and paper
on which was the address Fannie Brown,
1920 Market street, Philadelphia" From
these circumstances 1t is Inferred that her
name was Fannie Brown. The discovery
OF her name and address, if it has been
made, puts an end to theory which was
being advanced in connection with the
corpse OF child known to be in the express
car 1t WAS thought the child was hers, and
was being conveyed South for interment.
The child, Mary Lea, aged year and a
half, it is now learned. died June 4, 1888,
and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery,
Washington, D. @. The body was dsin
tered Wednesday, and the box containing
it marked Luke Lea, Jackson, Miss" The
remains have not been recovered. and the
express messenger says he never saw it af'
ter the accident.
The reports of correspondents who say
they saw ten bodies at Orange Court House
were incorrect. The facts are that only
eight bodies were recovered and exposed at
Orange.
