Hours were sp? ni in extricating i lu- dead lind wounded from the wreck. The cause of Hie accident is partly as cribed lo th?i recent freshet, which has materially injured tho trestle, tho high w ater thus tar has ing precluded a thorough examination of tho same. TIIK NEWS IN TUB ( ITV. Information. . Ibo disaster was first ro ceived in the city about'I o'clock. Th? Presidonl of thc Northeastern Railroad, Mr. A. P.

Then tlie bodies of UH slain were carefully and tenderly removed, the crowd uncovering as they wen- born? to thc waiting vehicles on tho shoulders ol friends, and tinnily the wounded wen-taken out and sent lo their respective homes, after which the crowd slowly and sorrow fully dispersed. THE WRECK. While in? one knows l'or a certainly how the accident occurred, it is supposed llml something must have given way under Mu tender or front car, causing it to fall over on thc siilc and cari lng li,o : rosti? and traill with it. The break is aboill two miles from tin! beginning of tho trestle, ?md in eludes four benches, each ten feel In length. Thc cars fell one Ol) lop of tile other, thc tender going down first, then the mail car, fpllowed by tho baggage car, Ibo second and first ( lass passenger coaches and ibo first Pullman car, tlie last one remaining on thc tracks. Tlie cars aro described an being com plctcly demolished, som?! of thom having been telescoped, Thc accident occurred about three-quarters of a mile South of thc Saidee Uiver, und there was from livo to six feet of waler under the trestle.

Tho trestle, In fact, ls said to ho almost now and substantially built with extra 1 braces. It ls about three ndles long and twenty feet high, hut the break is only about IOU feet hi length, and the fact that < such a small section of it should have fallen is considered to bc proof of the , stremtth of tho trestle. The work of repairing the break was commenced as soon as possible. Men were set to work to clear away the debris on Monday night, and were engaged yester- I day in 'rebuilding tho trestle, ills expected that the break will be repaired in time for < the midday train to passover today.

Four of the rioters who were wounded by tho police ju yesterday's riots died lo day. Tho Orangemen arc making large purchases of arms, and atc declaring lind they will have revenge upon the police for (iring into their ranks. Al a meeting of the Protestants living in the Shanakill Hoad resolutions were adopted denouncing th?; action of thc police from the "out ly hm district coming to liol fast and attacking peaceful citizens," und demanding then withdrawal. Thc number nf policemen on duty in Belfast this nficrnoon ni :? o'clock was 1,1)00, A number of troops from Newry have a! nnived lo a>si>t nie 'Milico in maiiitiunitiu uh r.

BELFAST, .lune to;-An oyo-wit ness of Tuesday's riots gives thc following desi rip timi of tho scenes attending the mob's at tack on thc Bower Hill police: "Women With pokers pried up paving stones and broke them into suitable size* for usc of the rioters when they ran short of mis siles. Women and young girls desperately entreated the men to continue lighting whencvor they Hagged, offering them apron fulls of fresh stones, and when entreaty failed the women and girls drove the men on by savage threats. Tbc police Station is a moderate si/.ed house. When the mob attacked tho building tho police responded With a volley tired from thc doorway, but thc rioters soon drove tlie officers in, and they retreated up stairs and thence main talned the fight by shooting from tho win dows of thc front bedroom on tho second floor. They held their position for half an hour, during which ila: battle was liol ami savage on both sides, when they were rein forced by thc arrival of 80 veil ty fresh Oftl eers. Thc increased energy of the police warfare served hui lo nggravato thu mob and they liccn nc downright ferocious. They were actually maddened by I In sight of their comrades shot down, arith lng and bowling Willi agony in thu <t. 1 nave since heard un liftloor siy thal he never knew a mob lo alma greater vigor, viciousness, ferocity and pluck, IK spite their desperation lae rioters hurled I heir missiles with regularity and precision, as if they had been drilled in Htonc-throwing, When the men in front bad exhausted their ammunition they would retire ami receive a fresh armful from the women and then mnkc for their comrades with a new sup plv Some of the stone-throwing was quito ext-'ordinary. I saw a stone thrown with snell vigor that it crashed through the win dow, struck flic rear wall and rebounded with snell force that it struck and hurt a policeman. The iM:tter armed of the rioters carried what wc call here "Belfast Kidneys.'1 These arc stones about live and a half inches long, three ami a half Inches broad and weigh on an average about one and a half pounds. There wcro many boys among tho rioters and they were as des perate and plucky as thc men. Thc bal de nt tho station ceased only when 2o0 soldiers came to tho aid of thc police. Thc soldier were Highlanders mid Fusiliers, and they soon drove thu mob away. AW Sorts of hurts and many sorts of ails of man and beast need a cooling lotion. Mustang Liniment, Jfc .molo fr?? to DH.
