APosTAI CLERKS STORY.
A special telegram from Columbus
says: George l. Hays, OF this city, the
postal clerk on the ill-faled train near
Charleston, arrived in this city at 1870
tonight, and gives a graphic description
of the accident. He was in his car
when the engine gave the danger signal,
and looked out. He noticed the far end
of the burning trestle was giving away
under the approaching weight OF the
train, and before he could realize the
trouble his car left the track. The next,
a smoker, left the track, rolled over, but
again righted itself and remained in
that position. No one in his car was in
jured.
The car in which the passengers were
killed and wounded was day coach,
and the rear one Of the train. 1t left
the rails, turned bottom side up, and
was completely smashed, the trucks and
timbers manning and killing the pass
engors. The scene when he reached the
last coach was one Of horror. Piled on
top Of each other and pinioned beneath
heavy timbers were the dead and dying;
groars most hoartrending could be
heard, mingled with cries for help from
the wounded.
ADABR IN ITS DEAD MoTHER's ARMs..
The most pathetic scene was that of a
little babe in the arms Of its dead
mother, and within foot OF them was
the manSled corpse OF It's grandmother.
The fireman OF the train secured On ak
and cut the timbors away that held the
bodies down and took tho babe out
alive. The child was sent back TO
Charleston, and the dead bodies Of She
parents left with the others.
At tho time OF the accident the train
was running al the rate OF twenty-five
or thirty miles an hour. When the
regular train left the scene Of the wreck
