Tho Cumberland (Md.) papers furnish some details of tho nccident on the Daltimore & Ohio Railroad, which was briofly announced by telo- groph on Mondny lnst. The News says: * Probably tho most fearful and destructive ‘run-in’ ovor known on the Baltimore & Ohio Railrond, end certainly one_attonded by o groator dostryction of lifo and property than any for yoars past, occurred about 6 o'clock yetordny morning on the sovonteon-milo grado of tho Baltimore & Ohio Railrond, sbout two miles cast of Altamont and forty- threo milos west of this city. A * convoy of trains of cars, loaded with stook, grain, cotton, tobacco and miscollancous merohatdiso, Wore on thoir way enst, when shortly aftor leaving Altamont ongine No. 481, of which Tuko Conoway was engineor, from somo_scci- dental causo “boosmo unmanagesblo and ran awny.

In an- other inatant ho heard the engincer of tho train ahoad of his blowing for brakes, donoting that his train, too, was. running too fast. Kuowing that tho forward train would decronss in spood, or stop altogother, enginoer Conowns saw that a terrible collision was inovitablo, an; calling to his firoman to follow him, he clambered over the tender on to tho cars, and ran toward the roar of the train, The firoman, whoso name we )“nve been unable to learn, threw himuelt on his faco on the ‘running-board’ on top the car mext the locomotive, and bracod himself for tho coming crasl, entroating the engmeer to follow his examplo, Conoway, howevar, paid no atton- tion to his romonstance, but ran on till ho ronchod tho middlo of the train, where ho at- tompted to put on o brake, At this moment tho locomotive ‘etruck the forward train, crasbing with torrifio forco through twelve or fiftoon cary and throwing tho romcinder of the train off the track. Tho cars in tho roar train piled up on ono another and ran off tho track, inrurln HOmo of them considerably, . Tho track for a haif milo was scattered with tho broken cars and their coutonts, Boveral cattlo wore killed, whilo corn, cotton and tobacco were mtrewn all over tho road-bod. * When the locomotive struck, Enginoer Con- oway waa thrown into the air, hurled hendfore~ most to the ground and innmu'.l‘yl killod.
