Cleveland, December 30.—The un
fortunate train is known as the Pacific
Express and consisted of six coaches,
two drawing room cars, with usual ex
press and baggage cars and two engines.
The relief train hence was two hours
reaching the scene, though drawn by
two engines and distance of only thirty
miles. Daniel McGuire, Engineer of
the forward engine, relates that the
train was running at a slow rate, and
just as they had fairly crossed the high
bridge, which is not more than forty
rods distant from the depot, he felt a
violent jar, and in an instant the coup
ling between the two engines had broken
and tbe whole train was precipitated
with the bridge into the river below.
McGuire says that his engine was pulled
back nearly to the edge of the broken
span before the ooupling severed, and it
regained its forward motion barely ijfc
time to save itself. Tbe bridge over the
Ashtabula river was an iron truss bridge,
and had been in use about eleven years.
The span is about one hundred feet
wide, and through tbe space between
flows the river, about four or five feet
deep, and at'this time thickly covered
with ice. Into this space were the
eleven cars and one engine and tender
precipitated, the fall of sixty feet of
course breaking through the ice cover
ing and shivered tbe cars as if a maga
zine of nitro-glyoerine had exploded be
neath them. The seven passenger
coaohes altogether contained about 165
adults, besides a number of children.
In the drawing room car, which was
bound for Cleveland, weie nine persons,
all of whom are supposed to have per
ished by drowning or fire. In the two
sleepers, bound for Chicago, there were
thirty-five passengers, and most of
these in the forward car are saved, with
injuries more or less severe.
Within a very few moments af
ter the crash the flames burst
forth simultaneously from nearly every
car. The latest statement give sixty
wounded and one hundred killed. There
are 127 missing. The dead are dis
figured beyond recognition. All the
cars are burned to cinders.
Cleveland, December 30. — The fol
lowing special to the Leader, is the
very latest: Charles Carter, of Brook
lyn, N. Y., says that he was sitting in
a palace car with three other persons,
engaged in a friendly game of cards,
when suddenly he heard a window glass
breaking in the forward part of the car
and almost instantly the ear began to
fall. He was seated with his back to
wards the front of the car, and as
he went down he sat as quietly
as he could and held on. When
the car struck the bottom of
the ravine he found himself al
most unhurt, although one of the
men who was playing cards with him,
whose name he did not know, was killed,
while another, 'a Mr. Sheppard, of New
York, had his leg broken. Mr. Carter
says the front of the car was much lower
than the rear and flames in front began
to eat their way upward and spread
with great rapidity. He turned to as
sist Mr. Sheppard and with great diffi
culty succeeded in getting him out. When
Mr. Sheppard was fairly out Carter re
turned to the assistance of a woman
who was calling for help at the front
end of the car. He got her out, and as
she was quite thinly clad, gave her his
overcoat. After reaching the hotel, he
found himself severely bruised in sev
eral places. In great peril of the hour,
a man rushed down to the scene of the
disaster, ready to help in resouing. Be
saw a woman struggling for life and
went to her assistance. He carried her
by force to solid ice, and then, urged by
the cries of tbe mother, went back to
rescue her daughter a sweet child of 3 or
4 years old. The wood of splintering oars
had caught the child in its grasp and the
fire completed the horrible work. Tbe
man was compelled to see the child en
veloped in flames, and to hear her
“Help me, mother !” ringing out in
agony of death. In a moment she was
lost, swept up by the sharp tongue of
fire, while the mother in helpless agony
fell to the earth in a deadly swoon.
There was on board a family named
Bennet, on its way from New York State
to Jefferson, Ashtabula county. The
father and mother got out of the wreck,
and the children were only saved by be
ing tossed from the arms of one
man to another over the pile of burn
ing wood. One of the four children
was seriously injured and all were
slightly scratched. This morning the
mother, who was enciente, gave birth to
a child, the event being hastened by the
excitement she had undergone.
Ashtabula, Deoember 30. —The work
of removing bodies from the wreck is
going on. Forty bodies have already
been brought ont. It is impossible to
identify more than three of the bodies.
All the rest are burned, oharred and
blackened beyond recognition. The
dead list oan only be ascertained
when it becomes gradually apparent
that those who were known to have been
passengers on this ill-fated train do not
make their appearance.
Toronto, December 30. —The strike
of engine drivers with snow has stopped
all freight aud passenger business on
the Grand Trunk Road. The long
threatened strike of engine men in the
employ of the Grand Trunk Railway
last night became an accomplished
fact, this morning along the whole length
enjoiDiug an almost total suspension
of business. Pending the making of
arrangements for resumption, all trains
have been cancelled. Freight trains
were all cancelled at 6 o’clock yesterday
evening, in anticipation of the strike.
Now there are no less than fifteen of
them cn sidlings between this oity and
Stratfcrd. Meanwhile every effort is
being made to seoure the services of
compeient engineers to plaoe business
on' a normal basis. The train from
Montreal was abandoned a few miles
east of Coburg last night. The passen
gers, lixty in number, were conveyed to
Coburg iu sleighs. This morning the
engines and cars encumber the line at
intervals. There is said to be a large
quamity of live stook in tbe abandoned
oars. The severe snow storm subsided
this morning.

wten the crew were saved by a rope
thrown across the vessel by a rocket
from the shore. The wreckers went to

Tke Old and Ike New.
An old man totters on tbe road.
Bowed down with age and care;
His locks are white and float about
Like snow Hikes in the air—
The clouds are gath'ring datkling round.
The night seems settling fast,
The wind sends forth a mourning sound.
The owlets flutter past.
The old man halts along the road.
He sees the gath'ring gloom—
No hope has he the power to etay
His fast appoaching doom.
He sees the cnildren pass him by.
And sadiy turns his face ;
He knows foil well that he must die—
The New Year takes his place.
He hears the children clap their hands
And shout aloud for glee,
He mark- them hasten on their way
The glad New Year to see.
And then he hears the midnight chime
Ring out his fuo'ral knell;
His life diee fast—he net at lasts,
The New Year breaks the spell.
A little child now leads the way,
His step is light and bold,
His hair is brignt and floats abont
Like threads of burnished gold.
The clouds are passing swift away,
The moon seems soft and clear,
The night has passed—the sun's bright ray
Brings in the glad New Year.
Farewell, Old Year ! Ydur work is done,
Anew one fills yonr place ;
The darkest night will pass away
The morning dawn apace !
We cannot bring the dead to life
Nor wasted hours recall ;
But in the coming year we may,
Perhaps, atone for all.
