RICHMOND, Ind, Feb 25.-A terrible
accident occurred on the Richmond di-
vision of the Pan Handle road at Hag-
erstown, sixteen miles from the city, at
$50 this afternoon, in which four per-
sons were instantly killed and one
m0rtally wounded, two seriously, pos
sibsy fatally, and a large number
more or less injured. 1t was the
fast train between Chicago and Cinein-
natl which was coming down steep
grade INTO the town, when the frame
work of the engine, No. 494, in charge
of w. w. Bartlett, engineer, aud Noah
Dunn, fireman, broke and derailed
every car. However. they passed the
station and came to the canal bridge,
where there is q fifteen-foot fall before
the fatality occurred, and where it came
near proving even more terrible, as the
cars cought fire, but the fire was quick
ly eXtinguished. The smoker first
turned on its side and the day coach
and parlor car "Eugenia," the smoking
compartment of which contained
all the killed, breaking away
from the smoking car but holding
on together. rolled over twice in their
descent of the embankment. Meanwhile
the derailed baggage car had hung to
the engine and away beyond the other
cars struck guard at the road
crossing, again mounted the track
aud escaped almost uniniured; but the
engine, though holding the rail,
was about as badly wrecked as the
parlor car and day coach. In leaving
fite fra ok no fli
graph poles, and it was almost impOs-
siole to get accurate news of the acci-
dent until the trains arrived with the
dead and wounded. The wrecking
crew was gotten out of here as soon as
possible, carrying surgeons and assist
anee of every kind. and a second train
was sent up at o'clock with large
number OF people. The following is
