Graham, one of the seven chivalrous sons of that foremost North Caro- nian, William A. Graham, tntrodaced the champions | of the two great national parties in words highly eulo- gizing these two distinguished gentlemen. Entire order ‘and complete good feeling characterized the whole long open air discussion of four hours, Judge Settle opened the grand debate at cleven o’clock, in a mag- nificent speech, the impressive eloquence of which and the courtly grace of his manners flied the hoarts of allthe North Caroliniaos present, notwithstand- TRS | ing thoir conficting partisan aMliations, with warm ind generous pride. Ex-Governor Vance followed for nearly two hours, eliciting immense applause by his tervid and fluent oratory, bis ingemous but convincing logic and his brilliant, incisive wit. Many ladies, who finely exem- plified the delicate piquant female beauty of the South, occupied seats fronting the stand. The Salom cornet band supplied enlivening music, The perfect good be- bavior of thie vast promiscuous multitude of all sorts of people for nearly a whole day indubitably demon- strates the safety and justice of intrusting the North Carolinians, at least, with the fanctions of self-govern- ment Both Vanco and Settle were greeted on their arrival at Graham, last night, with torohlignt proces. sions of their respective political adherents.

FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION. A Long and Crowded Passenger Train Crashes Into a Freight Train. ONE FIREMAN KILLED. Several Persons Seriously Injured—Three Locomotives and a Number of | Cars Demolished, [From the Evoning Telegram.] Bostos, Oct. 13, 1876, Early this morning vague and wild rumors were ily- ing about, stating that the steamboat train on the Old Colony road had run off the track or collided with some obstraction, by which an immense number of people were reported to have been killed or wounded. The train was known to bave a large number of re- turning Centennial visitors on board, and the crowd of anxious faces seen at the Uld Colony Railroad station, waiting the arrival of their relatives and friends, showed to what extent the rumors had gained credit im the mindof the public. It was soop ascertained that, although the disaster had resulted fatally to one unfortunate tireman, yet the passengers had all escapod with slight bruises, which tact caused many exp! stons of “Thank God!’ from those anxiously sing their expected loved ones. As soon us the reports be- to take somo definite shape the depot was leged with people anxiously waiting to hear the result. THE ACCIDENT. ‘Tho facts, as ni could be ascertained from in- terviews with the ‘horities of the road and a num- ber of passengers who were on board of tho tratn, are as follows ho steamboat train, conductors Asa Porter, with twelve cars, including one drawing room, | attached to the rearof the train drawn by the Wid ; Colony and Falmouth, started as usual from Fall River | ‘at five o’clock this morning, on the arrival of the boat from New York, While ranning at the rate of about twenty-five miles per hour, and a short distance (about sixty feet) from the station at Randolph, it collided with the local freight train, which was switching on the main track. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. Th amboat train is due at Randolph at thirteen Minutes past six A. M. and the accident occurred at sixteen minutes past six A. M. Randolph is designated by the railroad officials as the point where the above named trains should pass | each other. ‘The late freight train arriving first should run apon a side track s! ed there and wait until the Steamboat train passes. There are two reports as to the blamo attached for the collision. The first is that Conductor James Mur- phy, of the local freight train, was wilfully disobedient to his orders. The second statement Is given by sev- eral parties who wero present at the scene of the disas- ter, to tho effect that the train was too long to be ac- commodated on the side track at Randoiph station, and that the engineer of the locomotive which was at- tached to the local freight train was switching the re- mainder of the cars upon another track. Which of the above statements is true remains to be ascertain ‘and the officials of the road will undoubtedly arrive at the true facts of tho case, THE SCENE, To return to the ecene of the disaster. The two loco- motives wore piled one upom another, Six freight cars bad been thrown into an adjoining field, an inex” tricable mash, and the smoking car of the steamboat trata bad run into a neighboring coal shed and was al- most totally demolished. KILLED AND WOUNDED, Asthe trains approached cach other the employés on the local freight train seeing their danger jumped and escaped uninjured, The steamboat train men, bowever, wero not so fortunate, and tho first locomo- live, containing Engineer Decker and a fireman, was almost complotely demolished. The fireman, Abbott, was instantly killed, being crashod beyond recogni- tion, Engineer Decker was more fortunate aad cs- caped with an ugly cut opon his nead, and his leg and foot wore badly crushed. The second locomotive con- tained Engineer Crosby, whoso head was seriously cut in several places, 4 it is supposed tnat he bas sus- tained fatal internal injuries, Fireman Jobn Clark was badly hurt about the neck and shoulders, and bus also sustained internal injuries, the exact nature of which are not yet known. ‘THE PASSENGERS. The passongers escaped comparatively uninjured, the only partics hurt being a tew of the occupants of the drawing-room car, who, owing to its peculiar con- struction, were thrown violently {rom their seats, for- tunately sustainiag only slight bruises, The injured men wero at once cared for by the resi- dent surgeons, Engineer Derow remaining at the station, whilo Engineer Crosby was removed to tho Howard House, at Randolph. Fireman Jonn Clark was taken to this city by the returning train and car- ried to his residence on D street, South Boston. This accident affords another demonstration of the wirdom of the road officiais in providing the train with the Washington brake and tho Miller platform, with- out which the catastrophe would havo been attended with much greater loss of life, Atseven A. M., on receipt of the intelligence of the accident, Superintendent Hendrick at once up a wrecking train and proceeded to the scene of the disastor. Shortly after a passongor tran of twelve ears was sent out to convey the belated travellers to Boston. RUMORS. The wildest rumors prevailed in Boston to tho offect vhat the train, consisting of about twenty cars, filled with Eastorn passengers, trom New York and Philadel- phia, was demolished, and that the engineets and fire- men of the tprce engines were killed. SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. Randolph is a post townsbip of Norfolk county, on the Old Colony and Newport Railroad, filteen miles south of Boston. There are two villages in the town- ship, known, t und West Randolph respectively, and the railroad runs midway between the two. ALATRR DESPATCH—TWO PASSENORRS SEVERELY NURT. Jobn Nagle, of No, 233 Federal street, aud James ‘Watson, of Nos. 180 and 182 Purchase street, were both severcly injured, but no other passengers are at present known to have beon hurt. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ACCIDENT. Newrort, R. 1, Vet 13, 1876, Owing to the accident on the Vid Colony Railroad this morning no freight was received hore during | the day, and this being the terminus of the railroad there has been no lutle excitemout in reference to the occurrence. Private advices received here to-night ‘state that neither Decrow uor Crosby, the engineers of the two locomotives attached to the steamboat train, will ro, cover, The first train came through from Boston this | afternoon, a track having been bailt around the wreck, The three locomotives which aro totally destroyed were the finest owned by the company. The diood, brains and hair of Abbott, the fireman, who was instantly killed, were found on the throttle of his engine. BLAME UPON THE FREIGHT CONDUCTOR. ‘The conductor ot the freight train, who will probably be arrosted for manslaughter, bas not been seen since the accident. The feeling against nim ts intense. Ho knew 4 the steamboat train was due, bat, hearing that 1t was at Pail River, he allowed his train to stand on the main track. No fing was ap. Before arriving at Randolph the steamboat train nearty made up the lost time, There were on the train 900 passengers, mostiy on their way from New York, and but for the Miller piat- forms and the tact that thore were two engines on tne train, the loss of life would prebabiy have be: ib least 200, REPAIRING THE TRACK, The Prosident and other offcinis of the road wilt ‘work all night to clear away the rains, T moking, baggage and second class passenger cars aud one crato flat on the steamboat train aro also a total loss, as well asthe engines, The freight oars with which they came in contact can be repaired. The agent of the line hero states that it je by far the most serious acc}- dent that ever pom eudait on the road.
