DASHED TO DEATH. Ik TerriHe Railway HoIociUist m VerDiont. SKTY PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH. Heartrending Incidents and Horrible Death A last Hatnrday night's White Kiver Janction (Vt.) despatch says : At half- past 2 o'clock this morning the Montreal sight oxprees on the Vermont Central Kail- road went through the bridge at Wood- litock, some five miles north of here, and lell 70 feet into the White River, causing a terrible loss of life, the disaster being the most appalling that has occurred in the liistory of New Bngiand, and rivalling the famous disaster at Ashtabula, which it resembled in many respects. The train consisted of an engine, baggage, postal and smoker, two ordinary passenger ooaohes, and tvfo Pullman sleepers, the " Pilgrim " and " St. Albans." The train, irith the exception of the last Pullman, left Boston at 7 p. m., its usual time, arriving liere at 12.30 a. m., when it was connected with the sleeper " St. Albans " from Springfield, containing passengers from Mew York and the West who had come to Springfield via the Boston & Albany, and the New York, New Uaven & Hartford road. The Boston sleeper " Pilgrim " was fall, as the night was cold, and those engers who could afford it preferred a with covers to the chilly passenger The Springfield sleeper was about 'Uu«e-<]aarter8 full, and the whole train cxMitained some NINETY TO ONE HCNDHED PASSENOEIIK. Ill the passenger coaches were most of iha local passengers, while in the hleepers ^rere the through people for St. Albans and Montreal, most of the latter being en route for the coming ice carnival. The train reached here on time, but was delayed •raiting for the Springfield car, and it WAS exactly 2.10 a. m. when it Balled oat of the depot. It had to pass a nreight at South itoyalton. twenty miles north of here, and so ran ahead of schedule â- peed to make np for lost time. At what is Imown as Woodstot'k, an old abandoned â- tation, the high bridge, a Howe deck structure some 200 feet long by .'>0 to 70 Ugh, was reached, and here by some means the oars loft the track while on the bridge. All that portion of the train behind the postal car plunged into the river, two cars Breaking through the iceand being partially â- nbmergcd. The forward part of the train passed over in safety. The forward coarli left the rails first and dragged the others after it, the shock of striking the bare ties kreaking the coupling between the postal and the coacli. George Parker, a rear brakcman, was going from one Pullman to another, when he heard a great crash and ihe cars trembled. He jum[^>cd to the step, and giving n glance ahead saw the coach going down through the bridge. ^Vithout waiting he leaped off, striking the fro>!en â- now and rolling 30 feet down an embank- ment. Ho was terribly bruised, for he says the train was going 40 miles an hour. One side of his face was badly torn and his right arm broken. When he got to his feet he says A FEAKFUL SIGHT met his eyes. The cars all mixed up, some on their tops and others on their sides were Ijiii^ on the ice, while a bright flame was leaping up from different parts of the wreck. The cries were terrible, but not minding them, and knowing that the engine could not rccross the shattered bridge, he ran to a farm-house some rods romoved from the bridge and kicking at the door awoke tho owner, Thomas Pingrcc, and told of tho accident. Pingree got him a team and, wounded an he was, Parker drofve at breakneck syieed tli rough the dark all tho way here and gave tho alarm. The station agent found Dr. Ira Chase, of Sristol, at the Depot Hotel, and with a anmbor of citi/.en3 with linen and brandy started in a box car for tho scene. Before they had left the depot a bright light in the northern sky too plainly told the horrible scene that was being enacted at the fatal bridge. The relief party reached tho scene one hour and fifteen minutes after the accident, and by that tmie tho bridge was one mass of flames, and nothing was left of the cars but glowing frames and redhot iron braces Stretched out upon the ice were a number Of BWCKENED, ni.EEDINfl FIOtlllES, ooTorod up with what could bo snatched from the broken cars, and.asHistod by some dozen country people, the trainmen were carrying the wounded to the house of Pin grae and the postal car, which was being extemimrizod as a hospital. Yonr corre- spondent was one of the relief party, and can say that tho sickening, terrible sights cannot be described. The wounded, most of whom were suffering from horrible b«ms, were writhing and twisf •; upon thtir beds, while shriek after shriek would be given out by what seemed but a bundle td half burned rags. Kvery few moments some tortufed victim, whilo being assisted â- np tho bank, would break away from tho helpers and rush screaming, half-naked, across tho frozen snow. One young woman, scarcely 18, who lives near Quebec, and who was said by a trainman to have entered tho train wearing a magniCccnt fur robe to keep her warm, stood crying on the ice with nothing on but a pair of stockings and a chemise. She refused to budge when asaistanoe was offered, and she had to be carried by force to Pingree' s house. The â- moking ruins of tho burnt cars gave forth a sickening ODOR OF nnBNT KI.ESII, whi(;h made the small band of helpers ill and faint. It was a remarkable feature of the accident that not one of the passengers -who went over tho bridge escaped scot free. AH were injured, and, to show how fast the ilamos sj.read, only those survive who were 1^ out of the cars ten minutes after the first crash came. Most of the fortunate oaes were tnkon from the sleepers, all those on<tho two forward oars, with few excep- tions, having been killed outright at 4ho ootsot by the heavy sloopors falling upon than and grinding tfaoin to pieces. Tho ipoaeaed number 30 all told, and deducting this from the low estimated number of <J0 on the train, leaves 60 victims who met a dreadful death. THE FATALLY WOUNDED were : F. L. Wesson, of Springfield, son of tho famous arms manufacturer ; K. F. Dillon, of Dartmouth College; Henry Tewkesbury, of llaudolph, \'ermont, and Smith Sturtevant, the conductor, who was taken from a burning car half roasted. All these died soon after being taken from he wreck. THOSE WHO KCIIVIVE are: J. H. Gushing, of Middleboro', Mass, back injured ; A L Abouef, of Lynn, Mass, legs broken ; Miss Lovell,of Montreal,Biater- in-law to Mr. Wesson, back injured and dangerously ill through nervous prostra- tion; O.Boisvert, Angelina, Que., internally injured ; L.

THE SLIOUTLY INJCHEU are : George Parker, brakeman, St. Albans ; Fred. A. Fisher and Howard F.

Westcott, Burlington, Vt.; Cephas Mills, Iroquois, Ont.; Charles Kastner, Boston, contusions of back and limbs, and Lee, of Burling- ton, Vt. fEBISUED IN THE FLAMES. Besides those who died it is known that the following perished in the flames : The two colored porters of the sleepers ; W." E. Adams, of St. Albans, Vt.; Euclid Chagnon, of Manchester ; (JharlcsW. Sandford, Bos- ton ; Drummer Bonsiequet, of Attawagan, Conn., with his sister, his wife Mary and two children ; Conductor Burgess, of the sleeping car, and B. Atkinson, of Lowell, Mass. All the bodies recovered were burned beyond recognition, and it was past ntid-day biefore they could be identified. Sc far what are supposed to be the remains of forty individuals have been brought here and laid out. The debrin of t'le burned cars is full of pieces of bones »l : charred flesh, which is being carefully picked out and assorted. The two forward cars have broken throunh the ice, and it is supposed that some of those there were drowned and have been washed out by the water. If so, they may be carried down the Connecticut River under tho ice and never recovered. The death of the man Bousiequct was r.lIlTICUmiLY BAD. He had gone to the rear of the car t . get a drink, when the crash came, and was separated from his family who, being i^ the forward part of the car, must have been killed instantly. Ho was pinned down by a scat, but managed to get his head through a window, when he shrieked at the top of his voice, "Mary, Mary," for fully five minutes. Mr. Lee, one of the survivors, tried to rescue him, but ho only asked where his wife was. Before any answer could bo given the fire reached him, and crying out " dead," he deliberately Ihrew himself on the floor into the fire. Those who were able to speak from experience say that it was simply an inferno. Frank Winch, a New York drummer, who was on tho postal and escaped, was seen en route for Boston this afternoon, and he says the only name given for the burning wreck was " Hell." During the day gi eat crowds of people arrived on the scene, coming from all sections by trains and sleighs. They all were willing to help and many were put into service. All who were on the sleepers agreed that those in the n^tper berths perished by the beds closing up when the cars turned over and holding the occupants fast. Mr. Charles Hosmer, of Lowell, had his friend and travelling companion burned to death before his eyes by being in an upper berth. When the two entered tho car at Lowell they tossed up for the berth and Mr. Hos- mer won tho lower one. Mr. Hosmer says that out of five ladies in his car only one escaped. I/)OKINa Fon THE DEAD. Early this afternoon Walter H. Wesson and his son, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Eustis and an undertaker, reached tho scene looking for young Wesson's body. Miss Lovell insisted, ill as she was, in help- ing. They at length decided that a terribly disfigured mass of flesh, minus head or arms, was that of tho unfortunate man and took it away. Miss Nancy Dunbar, of Somerville, is supposed to have been lost in the accident. She was in the sleeper. Her brother is looking for her remains. Ed. Brocklebank, a brakcman, is also among the dead. Tho accident and burning of the bridge have blocked all traffic, and trains have to be run around by the way of Well River. The ico on the White River is three feet thick, which prevented the rescuers getting water when the wreck took fire, and tho flames had if all theii- own way. The.-e is a great difference of opinion as to the cause of the disaster, many con- tending that it was a broken rail, and ethers that it was due to the iron frame- work or the bridge contracting by the intersp cold, tho ter>ip»; ature being some 20 ° below /.ero when the disaster occurred. A broken rail some little distance back from the bridge is given as the real cause of the train leaving tho track, and it is supposed that the jarring of the wheels over the bridge tics started tlie under sup- ports and caused them to give way. Of those collected twenty-five are minus head or limbs, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the sexes. The company will open tho baggage in tho baggage car and learn, if possible, the names of those who were on tho train. The wounded are being brought to this place as rapidly as [lOBsible, and are doing (]l|ite well. Some ten of those who are under physicians' hand* are not expected to live, a The rail- road people are thankful that the accident did not occur to-night, which, being Satur- day, the traflic would have been twice as heavy. The railway does not consider itself accountable for the disaster, but its ofticials aro very uneasy over the probable magnitude of the damage suits growing out of the affair, especially as the financial affairs of the company are notth > b -st just at present. HoniilllLE INCIDENT OT THE WBECK. One of the first passengers to escape ftom the burning wreck was Joseph Maig- net, a French-Canadian boy. He was with his father, David Maignot, on their way from Holyoke totheirhome inShawenegan, Quebec. Tho boy sat three seats behind his father in the third car from the rear. He was dozing in his seat when he felt the car shiver. This motion was kept up for a few seconds and then the car dashed over the bridge upon the ice. By hard work the Ix)y succeeded in getting on* "f on^ of the windows. He at once went in search of his father, and discovered him by the light of tlie burning wreck just abovehim, pinned down by a part of tho top of the oar, which had fallen directly across his chest and legs. Tho old man was as firmly held as if in a viae. Joscpli was the only one who escaped from tho car, as ho says. IlK HUSHED TO HIS FATHEu's ASSI8T.4NCE, and spoke words of encouragement to him. The father was very cool, and told his son to help him out as soon as possible. The boy seized his father, and struggled with all his strength to extricate him, but in vain. Tlie flames wore approaching rapidly. " Joseph," sad the father, " run and get an axe or a saw," but the boy could not fiad either. " Pull me out then," said tho father, " even if you have to break my legs to do it.'' Joseph tugged away with all his might, but could not stir his father an inch. With wonderful coolness the father then gave himself up to his fate. " It's no use, ray boy," he sulri, " there is no hope for me. Remember the dying words of your father : Altlbys be a good boy. I'^arewell, my son, I will meet you in the other world." The flames were then so close that the boy could remain no longer. He left his father and got out of reach of the flames, and watched his father slowly bnrn to death in the flaming debrin, MRS. BBVDES's ACCOUNT OK HER ESCAPE. A Montreal despatch says Your correo pendent has just seen Mrs. W. S. Bryden wife of Mr. Bryden, of Pillow, Uersey & Co., of this city, who had a miraculous es- cape. She was in the last Pullman car near the front end. She was awakened from sleep by a crashing sound, and found her- self pinned down and almost suffocated. She had presence of mind enough to husband her strength until she heard pirties out- Biile. She then freed one arm and by knock- ing with her hand, on which were herrings, she attracted attention from outsiders, who chopped a hole through the roof of the car. When they attempted to move her she found she was hemmed in, and with remaikablu presence of mind shf^ asked them for a,nn- knife, with which she cut her clothes free from around her body and was pulled out. She wao wrapplkl in a blanket aitd laid in the snow, whence she Was removed three times to get her out of reach of the flames. She says the whole four cars were burned up inside of twenty minutes, and when she was rescued one end of the car she was in was already in flames. She was saturated with i oa! oil from a lamp that had burst. She was removed to a farm house. I'LArEI) AUONd IiKAIi AND DYINll. She says tho scene was an indescribably pathetic one. A poor little boy, who could not speak a word nf ICnglish, was alone, having lost both father and mother. Mrs. Bryden 8ay« most of tho people seemed to be French Canadians coming to friends in this city. Tho whole thing happened so ijuickly that there was no time tu do anything, although one old farmer living near did some heroic work Mrs. Bryden herself seems to have but slight injuries to her back. The ther mometcr was at zero when she lay on the ice with nothing but a Pullman blanket around her, and she burrowed a hole in the snow and ki>i)t herself fairly comfortable. Whilo Mrs. liryden lay on the floor several persons died in tho room, among whom was Mr. Wesson, of Smith <$; Wesson. Mrs. Bryden's pluck and presence of mind saved her life. CONSrMKI) IIEPORK HIS SBOTURH's EVES. Mr. Mills arrived hero to-day. He w travelling with his brother, who was in the next berth. After getting out he worked away frantically to rescue his brother, and was just getting him out when the flames rushed on liim, and ho had to retreat and ga/.o on the horrible picture of his brother being consumed under his eyes .and within reach of his hands. A TEBBIBLE EXFEBIHNOE. Two Trains Collide on a Trestle Eighty Feet High. Mr. W. H. Wadland, cousin to Mr. Wad- land, of the Bell Telephone Company, had a thrilling experience on the C. P. R., which he describes in a letter (dated at !5chreiber, Algoma,) to a relative as follows : Dear Bbotuer, â€" I write you this lime to tell you of my wonderful escape yesterday morning. We had a terrible collision. Our train and another freight met on a trestle 300 feet long and 80 feet high, and we did not see each jther until we were both on the trest.'t as there is a sharp curve at each end. '.''f were both running about 15 miles per ho.ir. You cannot imagine our feelings when we saw ourselves running into the jaws of death, aa we supposed; my first thought was to jump over the trestle, but knew that was as good as death ; my mate went to jump too, but ran back in the cab again just as they struck, and he went head first against the boiler and the coal on tho tender on top of him; something caught his coat and tore it nearly off his back and to-day he is going around with a swelled nose, sore side and bniised foot. The engineer and fireman on the other engine were both hurt, but not seriously. 'The fireman got his eye cut and some thing struck him on the back. The engineer was as black as any darkey you ever saw. The steam escaping on tho coal flew all over him. He struck against the levers and hurt himself. You will want to know where 1 was all this time. Well, 1 got down on tho step of the engine and held on to the hand rail and just as the crash came, it shook me off, and 1 fell right beside the driving wheels. One foot slipped between the timbers which kept me from falling off. Tho other engine was on top of ours. I could not tell or describe tho scene. Big heavy irons were bent like wire ; the smoke stack of ours is lying at the bottom of the trestle. Two cars went over our teuder and down the trestle, I could hear them rolling over my head ; one stood on end. Our old engine stood it hotter, but it was badly broken On the Wher one the cab was knocked off and mounting broken which allowed so much steam to escape that you could not see yuur hand before yon. The accident happened about eight miles west of Schreibcr at a little after 9 a. m. The conductor and engineer of the other train are to blame. They had orders to keep HOW KYK DI,SkA.si:- H1>RCaD.

Mead, aged 2!) years, hsE suffered two years with an abscess in her side, and for the past few weeks has been confined to her bed. On Sunday she was very low, ond up to Monday night doubts were entertained whether she would live. Yesterday tho physician found his pa) lent dressed, sitting up and eating with fair relish. She said last night tho Lord, in response to her prayers, healed and restored her strength. A reporter who jailed later found tho woman firm in tho faith that she was cured. Medical men are puzzled. At Prof. I'roitor's dancing academy in Washington, seven of the girls displeased several of the boys by occosionally refusing to dance with them. Thereupon a boycott was laid, nnd at the next meeting of tho clans tho seven offending girls were horrified to lind that not a single young fellow ask'.Kl them to dance, and they sat the whole evening out without dancing and without partners.

A Kttlcman, with tho inappropriate name of Charles Gross, announced to the Police Magistrate yesterday that tho casein which ho was charge<l with having assaulted his wife had been amicably settled. His wife had goneoffto Hamilton with another man â€" probably to see the carnival â€" and tho chorge against him had been withdrawn. Mr. Gross seemed qi<to happy at his relief from both charges at one and the same time, and was not envious of his successor in the Towels and SpectacleH IJilii tu Carry Con- tttgluu. To mention a few of ;'â- ,' modes of con- tagion I have to speak, i: ihe first place, of towels, especially of . hut abominable institution known as 'In- roller toivel, which has been used so muih in asylums, where forty, fifty or moir hildren use the same towel, whether flu-, have granular lids or not. True, iu ii great many of these case.i the exist' :s;e nf granular lids was not known, but ven incases in which the existence of tin ilisease was evi- dent, tho ignorance or ci'.ri lessness of the persons in charge has allowed transmission by means of towels to be one of the most frequent sources of contagion. .\s a carrier of contagion the horsiMly plays an im- portant ro/?, especially in "case of young children who are not able to protect them- selves against the visits of this little animal. Attracted by the sweetish odor of the dis- charge, it will settle upon the eyes of children affected with the disease, especially infants, and carry the con- tagion in its claws to the other eye or the eyes of sleeping infants. Sjxjctacles may be tho carrier of tho con- tagion. I remember the ease of a young lady who could not explain satisfactorily how she came to have granular lids. Upon her return to school she iuentioned that she had granular lids, where upon on* of her classmates said : " Why Lhat is the diuoaso which I have bei n suffe ring form the last six months." This classmate was near-sighted and used glasses. My patient was also near-sighted, but had not used glasses, and whehever she wanted to see anything at a distance jhi- was in the habit of borrowing the spectacles of her friend, and there is no doubt in my mind that this was the means of carrying the ixjison from the classmate's eye to my patient's eye. Children with granular liils are very apt to rub the eyes, because tho secretion, as it begins to dry on tho edge of tho lids, causes an irritating, itching sensation. Tney will now play with other children, and from their hands transfer the poison to the hands of the other chililreu, and these latter, rubbing their eyes, contract the disease. Handling objects which have been used by persons with granular lids may be the means of carrying the contagion. A young lady who volunteered to teach children with granular lids that had been isolated from other chil- dren in a certain institution was warned to be extremely careful with regard to using handkerchiefs, towels, or anything belong- ing to the children. She was well aware of the danger and promised to be very care- ful. She handled nothing whatever, she said, that belonged to tho children, left her cloaks outside, and in the class room kept away from the children a distance of five or six feet. But upon examination of her eyes 11 days after she had taken oftico, it WHS found thot she began lo suffer from granular lids. Ilpon inijuiry I found that she Iiad been taking the copybooks and slates of tho children for correctidn, and in all probability she got the poisun from the slates and Imoks on her hands and then conveyed it. to her eyes. A teacher of another section in tho same institution was more careful ; she simply walked into tho class room, did not touch anything belong- ing to the children, and for two or three months during tho duration of tho epidemic she was not affected by tlie disease. Th& atmosphere had evidently not been the carrier of tho contagion in tho first case. â€" Medical iinil Surgical Ueportir. NO MORK IT.SK FOlt IIIM.

A Louisville, Ky., despatch says : Tho facts in a case which illustrates the rigid rules of the Catholic Church concerning divorced people have been made public here. Michael McCoy, a grocer of this city, has been excommunicated from St. Patrick's Catholic Church owing to his marriage with a Miss Eninia Long after having secured a divor(?o from his wife. Miss Leng lived ne.\t door to the McCoy family, and Michael became infatuated with her, so much so that he is accused by his neighbors of having mistreated his wife 'n order to compel her to secure a legal separation from him. On tho night of his nuptials with Miss Long his neighbors and his former church associates surrounded the house and threatened him with violence until quelled by the police.
