Six young souls, hurled into eterui ty without a moment's warning, and thir teen crushed, bruised and wounded people ~costitute the sum of the fearful tragedy on the Northeastern Railroad yesterday afternoon. The cause of the accident will be the subject of future inquiry. At present no one seems to know detinitely what caused this fearful calamity. The train which left Charleston shortly after noon carried the usual number of 'passengers bound north ward,: among them some of the brightest and best beloved of the young people of Charleston. The Santee Swamp was reached on tine. and here the down train due in Charleston at 4 o'clock was met. This train had just crossed the long trestle which lies on the south of the river and had passed over it without trouble. A few minutes later the fated train, bearing its doomed freight. en ered the trestle and in another instant the werk of death had been done. The news of the fearful accident was not received in the city until about 4 o'clock. when a relief train bearing Dr. J. L. An crum and Assistant Superintendent Royal. of the Northeastern Railroad. was dis patched to the scene of the accident. Ten minutes after midnitzht the funeral train rolled into the depot with its burden of dead and wounded, and loving hands ten derly lifted these manled forms and bore them to their desolated and grief-stricken homes.

STEPHENs, June .-The North bound passenger train No. 43 on the North eastern Railroad met with a terrible acci dent~ s22 this, evening while it was cross ing tfie Sgntee River trestle at a point two and "i half miles from this place. The trestle suddenly gave away and the train. 'with thi 6xie~tion oF the eugine and the last sleeper, plunged headlong into the canal below. The scene that followed baffes description. Hours were spenlt in extricating the dead and wounded from the wreck. The cause of the accident is partly as cribed to the recent freshet, which has materially injutred the trestle, the high 'water thus far having precluded a thorough - namination of the same. TIHE NEws iN TIrE CITY. Information of the disaster was nirst re ceived in the city about 4 o'clock. The President of the Northeastern Railroad, Mr. A. F. Ravenel, was in his oficee receiv ing dispatches; which were read from time to time to the. rapidly increasing crowd. Steps 'were taken to communicate with the families of the deceased as soon as authentie info'rmation was received, which was not unti about 8 o'clock, when news came that the dead and wounded had been remnoved to.the relief train and that that train was ready to start. Orders were seat at once to start the train and then ensued a long, dreary and mournful wait for its arrival. The train having arrived at Charleston. a number of 1 (lies and children wvho -miraculously esc- >ed uninjured tirst came out of the cars. Thea the bodies of the slain were carefully and tenderly removed. the crowd uncovering as they were borne to the waiting vehicles on the shoulders of friends, and tinally the wounded w~ere taken out and sent to their respective homes. after which the crowd slowly and sorrow fully dispersed. T'mE wRECK. While no oneC knowvs for a ceriainty how the accident occurred, it is supposed tha~t something must have given way under the tender or front ear. eausingr it to fall over on the side and carringz the trestle and train with it. The bireak 1s abo8ut two miles from the begmuning of the trestie, and in eludes four benches, each ten feet in length. The cars fell one on top of the other, the tender going down .tirst, then the mail car. followed by the bagzgage car, the second and tirst class passenger coaches and the first Pullman car, the last one remaining on thetracks. The cars arc described as bingt coin pletely demolished, sonme of thenm having been telescoped. The accident occurred about three-qutarters of a mile South of the siteewas from five to six feet of water under the trestle. The North bound~ train which left here last night :s. midnight was switched on the South Cartlin~a- Railway track at 31ary street, and the passengers and mails were taken over the Soulth Carolina Railway to the Camden Junction, where the train was transferred to the nX ilmington, Columtbia and Augusta R~ailroad. P~a.-sengers and mails coming South will be transferred the same wayuntiblhe break is repaired. Further Detafla of dwne Tragedy. CXews and Courier, 9th.) Nothing further is known with regard to the'ense-of the accident than has already been stated. IHouston, the engineer of the train, has not returned to the city vet. and the railroad company arc wvaiting for the coroner's inqulest, when thiey will inivesti gate the matter. Alr. R~oyal, the alssistant superntendent of the road, is of the opinion that the foundation of one of' the trestle benches must have been undermined by the recent freshet, and that the trestle was thus weakened. Mr. Burnet, who was a pasenger' on the train, and seems to have been as cool and seli possessed as any one of these who passed through the terrible ordeal, said to a re porter yesterday. ju'st previous to stepping on the train to return North, that he be lieved the accident was caused by the break ing of something under the tender. proba bly- one of the wheels or the center plate of one of the trucks. He was careful after the acient in examine the trestle. and found it to be well built and substantial. The trestle, in fact, iF said to be almost new and substantiahy built with extra braces. It is about three miles long and twenty feet high. but the break is only about 100 feet in length, and the fact that such a small section of it should have fallen is considered to he proof of the strength (i the trestle. The work of repairing the break was commenced as sooni as possible. MIen were set to work to clear away the debris (N Monday night, and were eigaged y-ster day in rebuildingthe trestle. It is expected that the brjeak will be repaired in time for the niiddhiy train to pass over to-day. noVw TnlE DEAD WEltE FOUND. J. Fisher, colored, buffett waiter of the sleeping -ar "Lena.- was in the wrecked sleeper when the ac-cideiti occurred. He was siudic y huritd downward and found himself at the bottom of the ear covered with pie-s of broken furniture. le escaped wi'th slight bruises. The second and. tirst l coaches left the itrack ainost simultancmusly. The former conitained oniv ont' ''olored boy, who was aslee'l. while tih latter contained eight passen gers-four male and four female. They were tin' ' n to tie front end of the ear by its downward plniige. wheni it was cru-led into hv the rear of the second class coach. and six of then met their doom in the mer ciless trap of death. When the ear was broken into they were found lying one upon another with Dr. G. G. Kinloch on top, who had his arnis crossed above his chest as if to ward off a blow. Miss Iannah Wilson was found lying on her head with her heels touching her head. The face of Capt. Cole was badly crushed. Ile was lying face tip acrois Miss IHannah Wilson. 311iss Flora Melver was asleep when the catastrophe took place. Miss C. E. McWhite was found dead with i her neck. le and irm ibroken. and her hody badly broised. The bodies of the unfortu nate victims were laid in a boat. from whence one by one they were lifted with ropes and I ilently phiced in: a car. T lie u n injured lady passengers displayed great for titude and courage in nistieriig to the wants of the sullering ones. TILE VICTIMS AND THEIR IN.t'itES. It should be premised in regard to all the wounded that the physicians will not le able until to-daiy to ascer:ain the nature and extent of any internil injuries which may have been received. Mr. C. A. Price. express messenger of Wilnin on, -N. C., renained unconscious all yesterday. and died at about 6 o'clock in the eveni"g of concussion of the brain. Mr. F. W. Renneker, mail agent. was severelv lacerated on the forehead, and the bones of tite leg were possibly fractured. He has not vet developed any internal inju ries; was a little feverish last niht. but as comfortable as cou:ld be expected. Mi. E. T. West, express messenger, was bruised about the head and sprained: wa doing very well y'esterday. Mr. B. G. Mazyck, conductor, had his forehead. arm and foot badly contused, but no bones broken. le was as comfortable as could be expected last evening. 31r. .lames Goldman. news ageIt, and Mr. W. E. Chandler, of Sumter. a passeni ger. who were slightly bruise'd, were rap idly improving yesterday. Mr. I Henry Ilusbands, bagge master was not seriously hurt and will probably be out in a few days. Til-. e.iEN Ts .r TriE nosP'IT.I.. The four wounded colored ien who were taken to the City Hospital to be treated for their injuries were all doing well tilp to last night. Most of them are stiffering from fractured linibs. Robert Smith, the colored porter of the "Lena,' is suflering from a double fract tire of the left arm and several severe cuts about the fuce. He was alo reported to have Ieid both legs broken, but this fortunatel" is not the cae. His forearm was slightly frae I tured ami his elbow very badly broken, but it is not thought that aniptitation will be niecessary'. WVarrin Burgress, the c'olored wvood-lpasser, sustained a very lad frac'ture of the thigh and also of the left. arm. Ihis broken limbts have been set and his condition wvas very encouraging yesterday. John W\right, one of the colored passeni gers, has a bad fracture of the right arm, and app:-ars to be suffering from a blow on the,spin'. It is impossible as yet. however. to tell the tnature of his injtiry from this cause, but he is not believed to be danger' otisly hurt. Henry llenry', the colored p:issetiger who was repo rted to be slightly injured, is stuifer ing fromt a niumbe'r of severe cuits on the head. mt is not expected, however, that they' wille lie attended with serious results.

But even now I venture to promise that I shall there un earth a palace. the plan of which has most resemblance to that of Troy or that of Tiryns." The firecrackers in use in this country are all imported. They cannot be manu factured so cheap here as in Europe. But the fireworks which are now so extensively used.are all made here. There are more than eighteen large factories in the North ern States, which turn out many millions worth of pyrotechnics annually. The chief seat of this class of industry is in East New York and Williamslurg. There is one factory in Rochester, one in Cincinnati and Chicago, :d one in San Francisco, beides a number of smaller establislments of this kind which are scattered all over the e'n try.

IIRELi,%). dJune 10--Ti peo ple have been wvrought to a state of great excitement hy the riotous demonstration;s of the Orangemen during the past two days. All work is stopped, stores are closed and many residences closely barricaded. Men are in every street prepared for further deeds of violence. The Orangemen : re greatly incensed at the constabulary for firing upon them anid threaten to sack tlii-Ar barracks. Detachments of soldiers and police from Dublin and other cities are being forwarded to Belfast to assist the authorities in restoring order. At midnight a mob of Orangemen raided a public house kept by a Catholic, named O'Hare, and after sacking it set it on lire. The police charged the rioters a dozen times with bayonets, but each time were forced back by volleys of stones. The police were finally forced to take refuge in the barracks. where they tired upon the mob from the second story windows. The mob, however. held their ground twenty minutes l>nger, although the firing of the police was heavy and incessant. Scores of rioters were wounded, and it is known positively that six men and two women were killed and a great many wounded. The wounded persons were removed. by their friends, and whether their injuries are fatal is not known. Twenty of the rioters who received bullet wounds are lying in one intirmary. A large number of Orange men who took part in the riots were ar rested to-day. The inquest onl the bodies of those killed will be opened this after noon. Among the killed was a barmaid and a widow with two children. Four of the rioters who were wounded by the police in yesterday's riots dicd to day.

BELmST, Junte 10.-An eye-witness of Tuesday's riots gives the following descrip tion of the scenes attending the mob's att tack on the Bower lill police: "Wiomen with pokers pried up paving stones and broke them into suitable sizes for use of the rioters when they ran short of mis siles. Women and young girls desper-atety entreated the men to continue fighting~ whenever they flagged, offering them apron fulls of fresh stones, and when entr-eaty failed the women and girls dIrove tihe men on by savage threats. The police station is a moderate sized house. When the mo: attacked the building the police responded with a volley fired front the doorway. but the rioters soon dirove the officers inl, and they retreated up-stairs and thence main tahed the fight by shooting from the win ows of the front bedroom on the second loor. They held their position for half an hour, during whichthe battle wa~s hot :md lavage on both sides, when they were reinl orced by the arrival of sev'enty fresh oti ers.
