KIIIed-Ten Others Injured.


CUMBERLAND, MD. March 2O.-Ten
persons were injured and one killed in
a wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
read near Oakland, Nd, this morning.
Train No. 2, from Cincinnati and St.
Louis, was derailed Three sleepers.
two day coaches, and a postal-car LETT
the track one sleeper rolled down the
embankment and into the Youghiogheny
river. The balance Of the train re-
NAMED on the bridge, or, doubtless, the
casualties would have been much great
er. There were thirty-eight persons in
the car which rolled into the river all
of whom escaped with trifling injuries,
except two.
General j. S. Fullerton. OF st. Louis,
a Union veteran Of Chickamauga fame,
was killed. The end OF the sleeper in
which his section was located was sub
merged. Fifty workmen searched the
river all day, but were unable TO ind the
body. The current is so swift at the
point where the accident occurred that
il Is believed the corpse has been car
ried down the stream. a reward for its
recovery has been offered by the rail-
road company.
The list Of injured is as follows:
j. knight Thomas, Baltimore.
]. d. Kuppleheimer, No. no Madison
avenue, New York.
Mrs Jemima Boston, Davis, Va.
NJ. ID. Phelps, Barre, VT
Mrs. NJ. d. Phelps, Barre, VT.

c. W. Davis, United States mail-clerk.
c. l.. Martin, Salina, Kan.
Mrs. James Hamlin, Salina, Kan.
]. II. Richards. Fort Scott, Kan.
1t is thought that none Of the injured,
with the possible exception Of Mrs.
Phelps. who was badly cut and bruised,
and received internal injuries, are fatal
ly hurt. They were brought to Cumber-
land on a special train, and received
medical attention at the Western Mary
land Hospital. All the injured were
placed in a special Pullman tonight, ana
continued their journey eastward.
