The Worst Railvond in America—The Late Disaster ut Oxford, Miss.—Seven Disasters iu Gne Month—Feeling of the People. Oxronp, Miss, March 1, 1870. The terrible accident two mtica out of Oxford, which resuited in the death of twenty-five persons and in the serfous wounding of forty more, has ex- cited @ profound ludignacion throughout this por- on of the State. The particulars, as published in the HeRALy, are in the main correct; but it should be distinctly understood that the train did notin any sense run off tho track, but that the horrible affair came from the well knowa rottenness of the trestle timbers of the bridge work spanning the gully over which the train was about to pass The facts in bref are these:—The regular morning train, after leaving Humpoldt at high speed, reached Buckner’s trestle, the engine and baggage car crossing safely, but the other cars were precipitated below. The last car hung by the track wt an inclination of fifty de- grees with the perpendicular, and passengers were crushed together and packed Jike sardines at the lower end, With stoves, chairs, seats, &c., on top. Mauy perished there irom suffocation, The others were killed by bruising, contusions and faval blows. ‘The conductor had an iron bolt driven through his head aud suifered instant death. Tne dead and wounded are being curefully attended. On Friday last there was another disaster, niue miics beyond Durant, which resulted in the delay of the train for twelve hours. ‘The cause was the absolute rotien- ness and worthlessness of the trestle work at hat ornt. e These fnghtful calamities ave prousea the people to the imevitable danger atthuging trayel on the road, ‘The Mississippi road to-day is unfit for use, 18 rotten, shaky, ricketty, aud is the worse slaughter house in the Union, Seven acci- deuis have occurred in oue monvh, with the pros- pect of un increase ag long as Che Jron assassin 18 allowed to continue its murderous travel. ‘fhe road bed is no more stable than shifting sands. No re- pairs to speak of have been made since the war, and these accidents have resuiied from criminal negligence and bratal indifference. As soon as the great smash up was over the company burned the cars and trestlework, and, here believe, to cover evidenca teuness to the trestle tuvers, many localities the ratls vield frigutfully as the cars speed over them, and ojtea at the joiit there is an unilied space of several ini » The road turoughout is dangerous, 1s a mechanical ighter house, and he who ventures to travel It does so ut the peril of his ife. The stockholders anu management are 1mbe- ciie. The roiling stock is heavily norigayed and no Judgment can be coiected. So that Ue managers care nothing, They are ruining the people ol Missis- sippi, keeping sway traveilers aud sewers, and murdering victims without remorse, Tney feel imae- pendent and, a3 @ man remarked, “aon care a d—.? The only relief is W close Ue road and de mand 1s proper repair. You may expect to hear of disasters when the number of viciins is Jurge enough io render the trifling circumstance an item of news. THE DISASTER IN NEPONSET, Stx Women Burned to Death in McBride's Cotton Drying Werks in the Mixteenth Ward—Particalars of the Fire. {From the Boston Post, March 3.) Yesterday witnessed @ catasiro pie that deprived ®1X poor woinen Of thelr lives and rendered six fam. ed desolate Of A mother. Ib occurred In che Six- teenth ward, or what was formeriy Known os Granite Bridge, Neponset. At tals place was situtted a num- ber of buildings Known a8 Mcsride’s Drying Works, owned and occupied a tion drying works by George Mcbride, ‘The buildings seven in number, connected together such & manner a3 to facuitate tha ‘The section destroyed was in ihe form T, the top veing a building 50x30, used as a sorting room, in which the cotton Was first taken from the bales, the good sorted irom the &c, The body of sho T represents the drying ding, 50X30, In Which the cocton was placed on racks to ary. The heat necessary for drying was furnished py 10,000 feet of one-inch steam pipes Juid be!ween the floors, ‘These butldings were of wood, a story and one-half high, The oshers consisted of a one story store- honse, singll engine hoase, kc. The number of operatives Varied according to the amount of work. At umes there have ocen a8 many as Uurty or forty employed, but yesterday the pumber was small, consisung of three men kid six women. The men were at work in the lower story and the women in the upper story, or the sorting room before described. ‘The origin of the fire is ankuown, and bods a will torever remain @ mystery. The men were first aware of its presence about ten o’clock by the smoke which filled their apartment, and iustantly seeking ite cause discovered the fre breaking out from one corner of the arm ofthe T, or ‘he sorting room. Of course wil the efforts which could possibly be made were instantly pat forward to rescue the women; but the niajorily of them must have been suffocated before the fire was discovered. Only one was visible after that time, and she quickly disappeared as tho Ma eee fumes, finding the best of sucl in the well dried wood, swept through the windows, encircled tne root aud passed on to the drying house, which fell un easy prey wo the strong body of biaze behind it, Nothing could be done for the unforiunate women; the heat repelled ail ad- vances, and sinall need was there of an attempt, for there was not a single chance of Auding lile in the building after the fMames appeared at the win- dows. A half hour nad elapsed and the burning pile was mostly consumed before the fire engines made an appearai Heavy ktreamys deluged the ruins and subdued the heat so an to render search for the bodies practicable. One could hardly 1magine, on viewing Ue spot, that the charred space of ground, eighty by fiity feet, nad go Jately been covered with structures and busy life, Noting would indicate it, unless we except the mul- titude of steam pipes which once laid between the dloors but now are entirely exposed. The relatives of the persona known to have been in the flames en- circled the rua, with what feelings can be imagined better than described. The Onding of the remams occupied but afew moments. Sx charred stumps, with nothing to indicate the one from the other, were ailthaf remained of the iemale operatives, They were not in the shape of human bodies, but @n exafhination gave evidence that such was the fact. The names of the partucs fre:—Mrs. Robert Mertia, Cuelsea; Mrs, Peter Martin, Mrs. ‘Thomas Hurley, Mra. P. Kennedy, all of Neponset, and Mra. Conant, of Glover's Cor- ner. Ail of them leave husbands ving, and all of them have families of either one or two children. ‘Tue deceased were mostly iiddie women, ‘The bodies were finally piaced in the receiving tomb 1 the Garden Cemetery, tmincdiate!y adjoining the premises. Here they will remain until turned over to the charge of tier relatives, A jury Of inquest was immediately convened, Rohert Vose acupy aacorongy ‘Teatyony way thea taken, hut none was given wh! poole elucidate the m; concerning the origin of the fire.
