A year later another stnash-up oceurred within a few rods of the former one, which scnt half “a dozen mongled and bleeding victims to thelr graves, horror was added to the lust this morning, far surpassing either of the precediug in the tumber ot killed and - Jured. Most of the vietims were English aud Germon Immigrants who were ou thelr way t tho Weat, ) TILE ACCIDERT took placo Just before daybireak. A dense fog prevatied at the time, which obsenred the view und added to the misery of the slituation. The cause of the calamity is attributed to Sterling, conductor of the frelght tratn, who acknowl- ciliges that his watch stopped twenty infnutes befora thy glliston, but without his knowl edge, This caused an error in s cateutation of Ute, and (fty or moro mangled bodies, 1nuny of them lifetess, Is the horrible result.

The mother was killed and the gramid- nother injured, whilo the Loys escaped. ‘Ihe party was [rom Glasgow, 8cotland, on Lhelr way to Caolifornia.” Other Intergiews are eubatan. ttally thre sanic as the above, A PITTAIURO GENTLEMAN who was on the trafn says he saw the freight approachivg on the same track.
