A niTtn ACCOUNT,

Inaebout an hour and a hadf late leaving
Wtite 11,itr Junction. It consisted of a
Xcomotive, baggage car, postal car, two
lesefCger coaches and two sleeping cars,
led vis Dinning at the usual rate ot speed,
tfhea about 200 yards south of the end of
bridge near the old Windsor Station, a
fcroken rail was struck. The locomotive.

CJitst ot the traiu, passing over the
Jbricgs in s tfety. The rest of the train was
Ehroar Irani the rails and continued on the

■there it ran ovor an abutment, and all of
IthAcara fell into White lliver, eome 50 feet

Led when the cars went down there was a
IteniHe crash. As soon as possible the de-
Itaeli 'l part of the train was stopped and
lain luci to the ecme ot the disaster. The

One of the wrecked oars on the ica has
not ye - been overhauled, and it is thought
that at least twenty bodies are in the de
bris. Hhonld this prove so, it will run the
numbi r of kilted np to over sixty. This
will not include those which may have
been evnied into tne river through the ice.
The latest computation es to the nnmber
ot persons on the train places it at ovor 100.
Wbon the last ear on the ice is overhauled
to morrow and farther identification takes
dace a more complete list of the killed will
>e obtainable, although it is thought that a
score of bodies already reoovered are so dis
figured by being crushed and burned as to
preclude any possibility of being identi
fied. Many of the survivors will die of their
wounds.
Considering the height from which the
cars fell and the speed at wh ch the train
was rnnning, it is regarded as miracolons
that any one on hoard escaped.
White Hiyeb Junction, Vt., February 6.
—Probably 8.0U0 persons visited the soeue
of the accident to-day. The only trains run
were for the accomodation of officials and
for carrying away the wounded and dead.
Consequently many teams are coming from
a distance of forty or fitly miles end centre
ing here in a long procession. Beven ot
eight bodies were to day identified by
iriends, and many heartrendiog scenes
wera witnessed. It is utterly impossible to
identify more than ten or twelve of those
recovered, the clothing being entirely gone
and the bodies burned to a crisp. The work
of recovering wreckage and bodies of the
deal has been pnshed vigoronsly all day.
The rivers have been searched and proba
bly all lecovered that can be. The iron
work of the oars has all been pniled over
and cleared away. The total nnmbor of
bodies recovered to-day is fire—one woman
and fonr men.
Drs. Grinntil and Bingham, of Burling
ton, liavo to-day thoroughly ixsminodthe
remains of the victime thus far recovered,
for the purpose of ascertaining tb« number.
They report them to bo, up to this morn
ing, 27, which, with five found to-day,
makes 3} recovered tbns far. This state
ment is verified by Lieutenant-Governor
Fuller. Mr. Fuller is doing every Bring in
bis power for the sufferers. He has been
instrumental in establishing a bureau of
information. All communications regard
ing passengers should be addressed to Henry
E. Tinker, station agent. White lliver Junc
tion, Vermont. Mr. Fuller also indorses
the statement that from all information
obtainable at this time from connecting
road ticket agents and snrvivor* of the dis
aster, it ia believed the total nnmber of
■onls on board of the ill-fated train, includ
ing the trainmen, was eighty-one. Of these
thirty one are acoounted for as above, thirty-
five are in care of the surgeons, one died
to-dsy and nine left on the same train with
the injured, leaving only four unaccounted
for. It is understood there were tome
children without ticket-; so the above fig'
urcs may be slightly changed. Every arti.

things found is being carefully saved for

Atlanta, February 5.—The recorder's
court room was crowded this morning with
wople anxious to see how the Atlanta
irewery and Kenny efc Werner, charged
with violation ot the prohibition law,would
oome oat.
Tne brewery ease was taken up first and
consumed a great deal of time, although
only a few witnesses were examined. But
eviJenoe clearly established the point that
the brewery had delivered beer to Kenny &
Werner in on indirect manner. This beer
was bottled, and the bott’es were
ilaoed in barrels and the
jarrels were first hauled to the Emery
ice jhonse and then conveyed from that
place to the wino room of Kenny & Werner.
The oase of the deteolives, worked np
the other day, when they traced two bar
rels from the brewery to Kenny k Werner’s
wine room via the Emery ice house, was
•imply established—that's all. His Honor
then proceeded to fine A. J. Kuhn, the
agent of the brewery company, $500 and
coate, or thirty days upon the streets.
He gave him the limit of the law in this
court. A check for $575 was placed in
Chief Connolly’s hands by Mr. Kuhn, which
he will hold until bond can be given and the
certiuori entered in the case.
Messrs. W. D. Ellis and Hoke Fmith ap
peared for the brewery, and Assistant City
Attorney John T. Pendleton represented
the city. -
The oase against Kenny & Werner was
next taken np and was still going on at 1:30
o'olock.
The case against Kenny & Werner was
oonoluded this afternoon in the reoorder's
court. They were convicted of keeping for
sale nnlawful molt liquor. The drift ot the
testimony was oircnmatantial and tended to
show that the two barrels taken to Kenny
A Werner's wine room on Alabama Btreet
the other day contained lager beer. HU
Honor fined them $5b0 and coats, but did
not sentence tnem to tbe public works as be
announced that he wonld do in
case of n stcond conviction. He did not
seem to have the nerve to carrj out this
promise. He had the nerve, however, tbe
other day, to flue Ephraim Gary, a negro,
(100, and also send Dim to the stockade for
30d<ys. Gary bad been oonvioted of sell
ing liquor on two distinct occasions. And
so bad Kenny k Werner, for they were
fined $100 only a few days ago for tbe isms
offense. His Honor warned them, though
that if they should come
up before him the third
time he wonld surely sentence them to the
inblio works. In view of his weakening

will do It He said, too, that one Prof.

Atlanta, February 5 —In the Superior
Court this atternoon Mrs. Mary Hodges
brought a bill in equity against Thomas M

Sophia Crosby.
She aays that when 3 yearn of age her
parents died, leaving herself and two little
brothers—one two years older than heraelf,
tbe other an infant.
They were left destitute. Dr. E. J.
Roach, who atteuded her mother in her
last illness, promiaed her on her dsatb-bed
that he wonld provide a home for the
children. Dr. Roach afterwards
entered into a contract with
