Railruad-even loung People Killed and
Twelve Wounded.
(Ners and Ccurar, 8th.)
Many homes in Charleston are wrapped
in gloom this imorning, and the entire col

AiMs in this the awful hour of their
grief. Six young souls, hurled into eterui
ty without a moment's warning, and thir
teen crushed, bruised and wounded people

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

I|E'FIRT NEWS OF THE ACCIDENT.
ST. 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

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

BELFAST. 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. The Orangemen are making large
purchaises of arms, and are declaring that
they will have revenge upon the police for

THlE STORY OF AN EYE-wITNEss.
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
