ANOTHER “ANGOLA.” OWE MORE RAILROAD HORROR. Terrific Collision on the Newark and New York Railroad. Vour Men Killed Outright, Two Dying and About Thirty Injured—The Old Story, ‘‘A Mis- placed Switch” —Criminal Careleasness Ex- traordinary—-A Jersey “Dco’ Sim- mons—Appalling Scenes, Miracu- lous Escapes, &c.—Full Details of the Killed aud Wounded— The Coroner's Inquest. Over in New Jersey, within the municipal limits | of the city of Newark, another terrible so-called railroad accident took place yesterday in conse- quence, it is said, of the neglect of the inevilable switchman, who, like all switchmen under stmilar circumstances, is declared by the company to have been one of the most trusty and competent servants im their employ, It was about cight o'clock when the switchman in question, William | Thompson by name, opened the switch, | which connects the grand traok with the down track to New York. ‘The gravel train passed through all rignt, and switchman Thompson, for some pur- pose not yet Known, left the switch open and re- tired to a clump of shady trees to the right of the rail- road. itwasstill open, when preseutlycame along | thefive minutes past eight passenger train bonad for | New York. This train consisted of four passenger cars and the engine and tender, Tho conductor was Edward Elverson and the engtieer Francis | Kiernan. <Aiong the train came at a sweeping rate. Just before reaching the switch the engineer ob- served that it was open und at once whistied - DOWN BRAKES, ‘The noise attracted Thompson, who made a dash for his post. He had just moved the switch about | half way back to its proper place when the flanges of the locomotive struck the corner of the rail and bounded off to the left aud ground ics way over the tues, Meanwhile, speeding along in the opposite di- rection, came the up train, which left New York at a quarter to eight, This train consisted of the loco- motive Aurora, a teluer and four passenger cars. ‘The name of the other locomotive was the Plain- feld. The Aurora trata was in charge of Charles Gibson, conductor, George Hill being the engineer. Forward it dashed, and forwara from the opposite Girection dashed the Platnticid train, still bounding | over the ties in an oblique direction toward the np track. {In the twinkling of an eye, almost, BOTH LOCOMOTIVES BUTTED each other. The scene that followed this terrible collision can only be imagined. To describe tt is soarcely possible. ‘The Aurora and tender were huried over down the embankment towards the ditch, the fires from the engine setting in flames the tender, aad the Jatter In turn setting fire to the passenger cars, which were crushed together so that the two first cars were completely closed up, with all their pre- | tous living freight. Under the engine was BURIED AND ROASTED ALIVE George Hill, tne engineer. His body, or rather his | trunk, was rescned alter hours of arduous toil, and | Was then wnrecognizavle. At last accounts one of | his logs still remained wader the locomotive. is | fireman, John Rockafellow, who had ouly gone on the road yesterday morning from the Central, was | also crushed and roasted alive. The passengers hada DESPRRATS BATLLE FOR LIFE. 4m the effort to escape from the nurning cars. Tirey did 80 without loss of ilfe, though with more or less gerions injury to body and limb, ‘The engine was wrecked beyond the possibility of being turned to | any use and all the cars were completely burned up, Rothing remaming but cinders. To return to THE OTHER TRAIN. ‘The “sword’’ was driven in an almo st horizontal Position between the two tracks, upsetting the red hot coals into the tender and setting & on fire, The aggage car was “ sooped” = into =the ~~ first = passenger — ear, ‘This train was crowded with passengers hurrying to business in the metropolis. The engineer, Fran- eis Kiernan, was terribly mangled, so that he died before eleven o'clock, despite the most skilfui efforts Of a pair of surgeons. On the authority of Colonel Ricker “Frank” was one of the finest boys on the road. Mr. John B. Jonah, who was at the scene soon after the disaster, heard him say, “Well, I’m glad IT didn’t jamp of, as 1 mignt have done. I did my vest to save the passengers’ and the company’s property.” Daniel White, a brakeman, was killed instantly shrough being crushed on the front platform of the first car. The passengers of this train, as weil as those of the other train, were extricated by the heip of some workmen employed in the vicinity. THE KILLED. George Hill, engineer, kilied. Francis Kiernan, engineer, killed. Dantel White, brakeman, killed. John Rockafeliow, fireman, killed. George Banks, fireman, dying. Samuel Taylor, wiper, dying.

Burke, Charles Scheller and his son, None of these are very seriously hurt. ‘ HATRBREADTH PSCAPES, Ex-Commisstoner David Anderson had an e@x- tremely narrow escape for his life. He was seated ™ one corner of the front of the first car of the down train, and was wedge: between the débris of | ‘the car and the stove. The fender of the latter gave way, and 80 saved him from being crushed to death. As it is, he sustained several very severe bruises, and 1s confined to his room. fis tnjaries are not dangerous. Warren L. Fish, son of Dr. Fish, the Newark Bap- ‘st clergyman, also had a narrow escape, door, when he thought he would change it for one next a window farther back, and accordingly aids0, When the colitston occurred and the first ear telescoped It passed directly through the seat Mr. Fish had vacated. A gentleman who had sat in MWran back, but says his companion was injured, ‘the blood spattered on his newspaper. Henry Fish, on of Dr. Fish, had his right arm bruised, Another gentieman who was in the front car was Tee!ing in his pocket for some papers when he found | @ cigar, and left the car to smoke it, ani thus s- eaped probable injary, Oharles Beers, a young man residing at 84 Wost Kinney street, was in tie car next the locomotive of the Newark train, and muiraculousiy escaped with only slight injary to his chest, In reply to the question how he got out he stated he did not know, but found himself upon w) nk, With mouth and @hoes full of sand.

G. Brown, the bridge builder, examined the scene. It Is diMeult to determine how many persons were really injured, but the oMcials admit as many as thirty. The loss to the company in locomotives, cars, 4c,, to say mothing of prospective suits for damages, will not be much short of $40,000, THE CORONER'S INQUEST, An inquest was at once ordered, and it will be rigidly conducted by the Essex county prosecutor, Caleb 8, Titsworth. ‘The following is the jury sworn in:—James Stansbrough, foreman; Ephraim Ham, William i.

His body and that of Kiernan were removed to Kiizabeth, where the relatives of both reside, Tratlic was entirely suspended from the time of ihe disaster until nearly five o’clock last evening, ‘The wildest excitement prevailed in Newark all day yesteraay, and the ofiicials of the road were held equally responsible with the switchman, George Banks, the fireman of the Plainield, lived at No. 15 Hamniton street, Newark. He was thirty | years old, a widower, and belonged to New Haven. Poor Taylor died last night also. ARREST OF THE SWITCHMAN, -On a warrant lesued yesterday George Thompson, the switchman, was arrested last evening in Ber- gen by detective Fische, of the Newark police, and taken to the police station house, Newark. The warrant charges lim with the crime of man- slanghter, At eleven o'clock last night a reporter visited the station house and requested to be afforded an op- portunity to Interview the prisoner, but the licuten- ant in charge, M. J. Kirwan, politely declined. His orders, he said, were to allow no one, not evena reporter, to go near the prisoner, TERRIBLE RALROAD ACCIDENT IN GiR- MANY. A Military Traia Wrecked near Leipsic—Ke- turning Soldiers on their Way Howe Killed— Twenty-One Brave Fellows Robbed of Life and Eorty-Oae Severely Injured. The following is an extract from the Berlin (june 24) correspondence of the London Daily News, piv ing an account of a disastrous railway accident near Leipsie:— ‘The subject that attracts the greatest and most uful Inverest for the moment 1s a very serious accident whieh befell a military train on Wednesday night shortly after its leaving Leipsic on its way to Berlin. ‘The fusiier battalion of the First Pome- ranian Grenadiers bad reached Leipsic about mid- night, and received a very hospitable welcome at the station, The train left soon after one o'cloc but had not proceeded far when the locomo- tive, through some as yet unaacertained cause, became disengaged, without the fact betug Immediately observed by the driver. As soon as the signal men had cailed his attention toit he stopped bis engine and then re- turned slowly ta the direction he had come. Un- fortunately there Is a considerable incline at tus Place, and the detached carriages had continued to | runon with aco ted velocity. ‘The night was dark, and before either the driver or the brakeman could perceive the danger the collision had taken pia ‘The three foremost carriages and their livin; sreight were immediately smashed into one fearful ruin of wood, jron and mutilaied human bemgs. A large dre was lighted to enable the survivors to work, but It was nearly three hours before tie débias egald be sufficieatly cleared away to admit ot the exérication of ‘all the sufferers and + ebow the Pktent of the calamity. By four | o'clock nO lew than eighteen dead and forty-four | injured, for the most part severely, were discovered; | and of tho latter three more died within an hour or | two, making the whole loss twenty-one kilied and | forty-one injured. The accident Would seem all the more melancuoly when we remember that these sixty-two poor fellows had passed unscathed | through all the dangers of sheli and chassepot merely to have the life crushed out of them in the hour of their triumph and their return to their families by an undetected flaw in a coupling chain. | If the accident was to happen at all it 18 a pity tt was not a week later, A rather stringent act has deen passed by the Diet making raliway com- { i | panies hable for the maimtenance of the families of the persons killed = (otherwise than by thetr own fault) and for ample compensation to the wounded, This act was put- lished in the Oficial Gazette on June 14, and thus became law; but, according to a special article of the constitution for all laws, does uot come into operation Ull fonrteen days later, or In this instance on June 23, If, therefore, the Anhalt Railway Com- Pany choose to insist on its legal rights tt will be able to resist ali claims for compensation beyond the very slight ones which could have been enforced under the old state of tne law, Should tt, however, attenipt to take advantage of the accidental cireum- stance that the collision happened on the 2ist, and hot as late as the 29tn of June, I think it will have public opimon strongly against it, The new |i rinany will place the companies in a more disadvantageous position than that which | they hold In England. @he burden ot proof lies | entirely watn the company, and it ts not sumcient | to show tbat there was no cutpable neglect on the part of its servants, nor indeed will any other plea relieve it of its reaponatbility except that of the sole culpability of the person injured, [1 a mere stranger j even, and nota traveller, should pass through a | station, and a locomotive should burst and kill him, the company Would be liable to the surviving family, even though it should be able to prove that the acctdent arose from such @ peculiar combmation of circumstances that no blame attached to anybody, WEATHER REPORT.

Close of the First Summer Meeting at Monmouth Park. Panic Among the Backers of the Favorites. Two of Kentucky’s Greatest “Cracks” Beaten. Julius the Winner of the Hurdle Race, Helmbold of the Three-Mile Dash, and Nellie Ransom of the Mon- month Sequel Stakes, “So that’s Bobby Swim, is it? He’s the great | Jockey, is he? Weil, that’s afunny name, sure enough. D’ve heard of Billy Severe, Owny Larks and Snooty Burns, but I think that Bobby Swim is the funniest of all names. And he’s the rider of the great Long- fellow, 1s he? and rode Susan Ann, too, didn’t he? Why, he is hell, aint he?’ These choice, expressive and incigive remarks came from the lips of a well known betting man, who stood leaning over the railing front of the quarter stretch yesterday at Monmouth Park, look- ing at the slender jockeys who were getting ready for the saddle in the firstrace. The boy, whose name had just been mentioned by the betting man, came forward in a@ yellow silk jacket and canary colored buckskin breeches, He 1a to-day the most famous jockey in America, for he has ridden victortously on the back of the greatest horse since Eclipse, barring Kentucky—the famous Longfellow, who will inside of a week make trial of speed with Kingfisher—his only rival, at Saratoga. Bobby Swim’s age may be computed or guessed at variously. Some will have it that he is not more than sweet sixteen; others’ again will say that Bonby is in the heyday of youth, and only puts up the seale. at twenty-five, while a warm-hearted third class declare that Bobby was born on the day that Kentucky was admitted to the Union. Bobby is freckled-faced, hazel-eyed and very light in body, but when on a horse’ tight and as fierce av death itself, It is worth $2 50 to see Bobby lift the horse he loves up as he touches a burdle or a ditch and go over with nis head down w the horse’s mane and his body craned tn the faddle, Bobby was raled out at Saratoga two years ago for something he did, and suffered great mental anguish thereat, for the boy has a@ head that can think and a heart that can feel for a brother's mis- fortune as well as his own. Bobby is just now conversing with his master, the venerable John Harper, of Woodford county, Ken- tucky, who two days ago was offered $75,000 in hard cash for Longfellow and refused it, Since Longfellow made Preakness bite the dust (@ few da quarter stretch without having a thonsand eyes fol- Jowing his every step. Mr, Harper fs said to be a millionnaire, and this mmor alone ts enough to make the five or six people on the race grounds watch, follow and pursue hin with eager curiosity, “There goes Oid John Harper,” says one to his friend. “Which do you mean?” says another; “that tall old man im Confederate gray nomespun and the big nose like Napoleon?” “Yes, that's him,” says a veteran poo’ buyer. “Look at his clothes; they ain"t worth two cents to | sell again, and still he’s got the finest horse in America, Luck is rougn sometimes, I tell you. If & M&n Is poor he can’t get acent, wile these fel- Jows don't know what they are going to do with their money, There's Fisk ; towlay I am told he got that $7,000 pool for fifty dollars, and another man has got a fourteen hundred dojlar pool for seventy dollars. That's what call a rosh of Jurk, and nobody look- Ang for it that gets it.” At this moment Mr. Archibald Fullerton, a dix tinguished and well Known New Yorker, tm a light gray coat, came upon the quarterstretoh and look- ing around the area of the field for a moment he cast his eyes with o iofty scorn up toward the crowded beuches of the Grand Stand. Spying Mr. Jonn Harper, who sat, with his body bent and leaning on a Kentucky cane, on one of vie | lower benches, the humorous Mr. Fullerton ad- dressed the aged Kentuckian, to the intense amuse- ment of the sight-seers, as follows:— “Say. Mr. Harper, how do you fee! to-day *"" “I feel pretty well,” mildly answered the aged Kentuckian, “Well, sir, we are going to ‘work @ ball.’ Will you join us?" “Er don’t Know what you mei /? said Mr. Harpe “Well, the plain English of that ts that we are going to take adrink; come along. you've gota big horse and I like you.” “Thank you, sir, 1 don’t drink. name ts Mr. Falierton.’”” “Well, old gentieman, we'll lemonade you, and if you don't ike that we'll soda water you.’? Here some person laughed trreverently at Mr, Ful- lerton’s last remark; whereupon Mr. Fullerton became irale, after the manner of a beery Teuton at the Atiantic Garden. ‘ ‘fest upon this irreverent individual, he said fo him:— “You are a mutton butcher, and I know you. You kill bob veal, you do. Come along, Mr. Harper. Don’t nottce those low fellows. They are ail Snides, they are.” All this time Bobby Swim was looking at the horse he was going to ride, from Harper's stable—the chestnut colt Express, by Endorser. Many Wise people on the track, as at many otner tracks, believed that because Longiellow pad won and cleared @ field of good horses thereiore every other horse from the same stable should be a winner, So many men went Into the pool on Express, and when ne lost they felt tndignant, and declared that they would never bet again—no, not one cent. A young gentioman who had been vetting on Cli- max in the burdie Was very wroth that ne aid not come in first, He stood at the gate entrance to the irack, and as the jockey, & big-bodied negro, with @ black silk jacket and Magenta sash, dts- mounted for judgment at the stand he uttered his sentiments quite freely. “There, look at that big duner of a nigger that just rode Climax! Look at his size; he’s too big for anything; he weigns a hundred’ and fitty-eight ounds, and { bought ten dotlars’ worth of ‘Climax? just now, and | got taken into camp. 1 suppose he calis himself a rider, and IT think he ought to be carrying the hod. I've no hard feelings, however.” Iris wonderful to see how the crowd will caress asuccesful jockey when he appears on the quarter | stretch after a race. Men will go up to iim and fondle him, place thetr hands upon his shoulders, hug nim around the neck and even kiss him. But let him be beaten, through bad fortune or bad judgment, and there fs n0 name too bad for him, and no expression coarse enough to Manifest their contempt and dia. like for him. Tt 1s alway the way of the wortd to ad. mire success, and th y of the world is, in tine, the way of a race track, at home or abroad, THE RACING. I believe your The closing day of the firat summer meeting at Monmouth Park will be long remembered by ait who participated in its excttements, as it was made memorabie by the defeat of two of the great Western three-year-old “cracks,’’ and to the backers of the favorites this meeting has been particularly disas- trous, Three races were rum yesterday over as | fine a track, and the weather wag as delightinl a4 ever favored the followers of tho fleet-footed coursers, The first race was over hurdles, two miles, between 81x horses; the second event a three- miie dash, in which there were three contestants, and the third race was the Monmouth Sequel Stakes, for three-year-old colts and fillies, two miles. In thia race five started, and its results will All the minds of all who witnessed it for many years to come, The entries in the hurdie raco were:—Colone! McDaniel's bay horse Julius, by Lexington, dam Julia; Gathey & Tully's bay colt Vesuvius, by Van- dyke, dam Lizzie Berry; Joseph Donahue's chestnut horse Sanford, by Uncle Vic, dam Doliy Carter; J. W. Weldon's brown coit Astronomer, by Asteroid, dam Miss Carter; R. Shea's brown horse Climax, by Balrownie, dam Jewel; Jonn Boerum’s buy colt by Bulletin, dam by Leviathan, and | John Grifin’s chestnut gelding by Censor, dam | Mary Biddle, Julias won the race after a close con- test with Vesuvius, these two horses being the only ones in the race that did not make some mistake. Sanford, the third horse at the finish, refused a hardie, and lost some ground before he was induced to jnmp ft, and Astronomer struck the first and _kecend Durdieg. ag he parsed oyar them. Ud Omax back his grip is as | y8 ago) old Mr. Harper cannot move a step on the | refused the fourth hurdie, which threw nim far be- | front of Nathan Oaks and Monarchist, who were bind, and when he reached the seventh he came to ‘dead palt,”? and would jump no more, The Bul- | letin colt struck the first hurdle, knocked it over and threw his rider, and went no farther in the race. The contest, however, was very close between Julius and Vesuving, and the result was very doubtful anti the last jump was made, Vesuvius Is a fine hurdler, but he is too lightly made for welter weights, Watn age | he may probably acquire strength, and if he does | he will be a dangerous horse, either over hurdles or im the steeple chase field, Jultus had the call in the betting at slight odds, Sanford and Climax being | atoutly backed by their respective admirers. Both these horses require more training over timber be- fore they will be able to compete with such horses as Oysterman or Julius, ‘The second race was poor affair, and hardly may be regarded as a race, a8 there were but three en- tries, and two of them might ‘as Well have remained in the stable and allowed the other—Helmbold—a They would undoubtedly have done so | but for the fact of their being three purses to be | won, and, as “feed Is ris,” they ran for oats and hay. The three entries were W. R. Babcock’s chest- nut horse Helmboid, by Australian, dam Lavender; D, J. Crouse's bay filly Regards, by Australian, dam Ann Hardy, and John Boerum’s biack gelding Ger- ald. Helmbold ran easily throughout the three miles, and won ‘hands down,’’? Regards was sec- ond and Gerald third, ‘The great and memorable event of the day was the Monmouth Sequel! Stakes, for which there were twenty-seven entries and six starters. ‘hese were W. R, Babcock’s chestnut filly Nellie Ransom, by Jock Malone, dam Vesper ‘Light; W. 4. San- ‘waik over. ford’s bay colt Monarchist, 4 Lexington, dam Mildred; ©. OC. & HK oH. Park's pay colt Nathan Oaks, by Bonnie Scotland, dam by Lexington; D. Swigert’s chestnut colt Stock- wood, by Asteroid, dam Alabama, and Join Har+ per’s chestnut colt Express, by Endorser, dam Nan- | tura. This was the greatest bettiug race of the | Meeting, and larger pools were sold on It that we | ever remember naving’ seen on any race that ever took place tin America; one of them amounted to $7,680, Of this large amount Express brought 4,300, Stock wood $2,500, Monarchist $550, Nelle ‘angom, $280, and Nathan Oaks but $50, It will be seen that Express, the half brother of the greap Long(eliow and his stable companion, was the great favorite, and it will also be seen by the report below that he was the last horse in the race, wile Siock- Wood, the second favorite and high priged one, was fourth at the end, ail he low priced | ones beating them handily in the race, Nellie Ransom was the winner, Monarchist running in & good second, and Nathan Oaks was third, The re- sult of the race fell like a thunder clap on the heads | of the backers of the favorites, and it was some moments after the race was over before they could realize the fact that Nellie Ransom had won tt. Such acontounded set of men as were the losers ; Were never seen, and probably never such a disas- | trous result was felt before on the turf in this coun- iy. Stockwood and Express were not beaten by “dark” horses, as Nellie Ransom tas run several races before, and has been beaten in every contest previous, io this one. The time, too, was but fair, | and nothing like what would have been expected from such famqus horses as the two great fa vorites, “Phen, what was the cause of their defeat?’ wilt be asked, Want of condition, undoudtevly. They have both elther had too much work, or not enough, In their appearance, when brought on the track, nothing could be discovered out of the way. Tnelr skin jooked like satin, and they were all iife ana action. When they were moved up and down the stretch previous to the start thelr move- ments were as elastic as their most sanguine sup- porters could have desired. In fact, they called forth the admiration of all tne spectators, while the | other he been, 3 were hardly noticed. There must have ; however, Something radically wrong with | Stockweood and Express, as there was the with Preakuess, Which probably will never ained; but we would advise the followers of tunes of the turf not to be led astray im the future by believing that the performances of these colts yesterday were fair tests of their respective merits, ‘They are both horses of the lighest stanip, and this will be seen at some future day, But vo the detais of the racing as it progressed :— THE FIRST RAC Hunpie Race, for all age: er weights, two | miles, over eight hurdies: p ‘sb horse to receive $500, the second horse $200, aud tue Unird liorse $100, D.
