DETAILS OF THE HORROR.

Further Light Thrown on the Railroad Ac-
cIdent Near Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, o., January 1s.-The list
of killed in the accident in Spring Grove
cemetery, last night, was correct with
single exception.
What was then thought to be the un'
identified body of woman has since been
found to be the body of Charles Kellar, of
Winton Place, Mr. Kellar and Mr.. Will
son were the only passengers who boarded
the Inflated train at Winton Place. Mr..
Kellar was going to Cumminsville, barely
a five minutes ride. to settle some business
matters. Mr.. Wilson was a 80 degree
Mason, and was coming to Cincinnati to at
tend meeting of his lodge. Both were in
the rear car and we're probably killed by
collision. Oae Of Mr. Ksllat's hands was
found beside the track. The engine of
datiOn is known as the strong engine, and
is one OF new design which has been
patented by Mr.. Strong. the inventor,
who is expecting TO draw trains easily at
from sixty to seventy miles an hour. A
company, to establish a mandatory of
these engines, is Just about to start in
process of formation. This engine is the
only one of the kind in use on the road
and it recently brought heavy train from
Hamilton twenty-five miles away in thirty
minutes.
Engineer COakley did not see the light
of the rear car of the accommodation until
he was almost on it, and not sure that he
fully realized the nearness of the train.
Still he applied the air brakes and reversed
his engine, aud remained with his engine
until the crash came, and then he jumped
for his life. When found a few minutes
afterward by man who ran down from
Winton Place Coakley was leaning against
the ticket fence alongside the track, his
face covered with blood. He appeared in
q dazed condition and asked what was the
matter. When he became entirely con-
scious he said he found it impossible to
check the tremendous speed of his train on
q down grade, but had used every effort to
do so before be left the engine.
Superintendent E. Nelson, in explaining
the cause of the accident, says the fact that
the Glendale accommodation WAS twelve
minutes behind time mad no bearing on the
accident. The real cause was that the
operator at Carthage where train No. 81 en-
tered the block IN which the accident
occurred did not show the signal that
would tell the engineer that block was
clear.
Fred Silver, bsggsgemaster on the ves-
tibuled train, was thrown to the end of
the car by the shock. The newsboy, Ed,
last name unknown, called him to come
ter OF the accommooati5n, ana between
them they dragged Staley through the
window.

THE SENATE MAY BIZ REPUBLICAN.
Prominent People Down With lt-SenatOr
Ksnna Has It.

COLUMBUS, o., January 16.-Judge Ash
burne, State Senator from Clermont coun-
ty, died here yesterday morning Of pneu-
monia. He was the third member of the
present Legislature of Ohio to die in less
than three weeks, Representatives Knapp
and Lswler preceding him. All three
were Democrats, and ss the Democratic
majority in the House is very small, the
Democrats are looking snxiously to the po-
litical aspect of the districts, which will
soon elect their successors. The Senate
had q Democratic majority Of two. The
death of Judge Ashton cuts this !down
to one, and as Senator Howells is too
sick to attend ths sessions no political
legislation eau be done in that branch.
Should Republican succeed Senator
Ashburne, that branch of the legislature
would be tie politically, and the Presi-
dent of the Senate, Lieutenant Governor
Lyon, having the deciding vote, would
make it virtually Republican body.
The House had Democratic majority of
six. The death of Knapp and Lawler re-
duces this to four. while the illness Of
half dozen other Democrats makes the at
tempt to pass any political measure very
hszardous for the Democrats.
Senator Ashburne's district, however,
is reliably Democratic, as are also the
counties that elected Messrs. Knapp and
Lawler, so that when the special elections
have been held. the Legislature will likely
stand, politically, as originally chosen.
Judge Ashburne was i'll on the day of the
Senatorial election, but went to the hall
to participate. Coming from the session
be entered his room and took his bed,
never to leave it again.
Senator Brown, who is always quite i'll,
was removed to his home to-day.
