NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1878—TRIPLE SHEET. OFF THE TRACK. Disaster on the South Side Railroad of Long Island, ONE KILLED, TEN WOUNDED. An Express Train Rolls Down an Embank- ment and is Completely Wrecked, Another accident was added yesterday to the upen- viable bistery of the Long Island Railroad, The Bockaway express train which left the Hunter's Poiat @epot at half-past ten o’ciock A. M., composed of engine No, 14 and throe passenger cars, was thrown off the track and down an embankment ten feet high, near Sprague’s lame, just beyona Bitssville, and so completely wrecked i: that it is a miracle that the great mujority of tho seventy-five passengers on the train esouped unharmed, Unfortunately, one passen- ger lost his life and ten others were more or leas severely wwjured. Near the pluce above mentioned, only about a mile trom the starting point, is a sharp curve, and here the locomotive suddenly lurched into the swamp below, alter tearing up about one hun- Gred tee of the rail, The first ear was dragged along and finally landed on top of the locomotive, The two other oars, the frst of which was a smoker, of course became uncoupled and rolled over the embankment until they became imbedded in the mire below, The passengers in tho iront car, which rested on the locomotive, sustainea no wjury, but the fearful plunges made by the two Fear cars caused serious damage. It was not long be- fore the passengers saw the narrow escape from death which had beep vouchsafod them. The first shock was over and they scrambled out of the wrecked cars up the embankment the best way thoy could, forming a scene of contusion and oxcitement. It was Bot then known, cootomplating, asthey @iu, the fear- tul wreck below, how slight had been the physical suffering of thelr fellow passengers, “The most dire Smprecations were heaped upon the head of the rail- road oflicials. CAURE OF THE DISASTER. While yet the passengers were wuiking along the torn up track and many women and obildren were drying tifeir tears trom frigut, sevoral gentiemen ex- amined the tios and sleepers. One of these stated that in the immediate vicinity of the sharp curve the ties were actually rotten. Thoogh no expert, he was emphatic in charging that these rotten ties caused the diwaster. At any rate, lt is known that the flange of the front wheel of the engine broke there and then, and at'once cagsed tho derailment of the entire train, Whether this flange broke tn consequence of the sud- Yen upsetsing of the locomotive, by-the rotten ties as alleged, or whethor it vroke owing toa flaw in the iron, remains a subject for faturo investigation, Word was at onoo sent to both ends of the road. A train from Freeh Pend goon came along and wok those who desired to proceed on their jonrney to their respective destinations. They were few, how- ever, a8 avy remained on the ground to nurse and vuccor the poor injured passengers. When the wreck. ing train from Hunter's Point, with Receiver Snarp, Superintendent Spencer and several physica: reached the acene of the disasi the confusion gi Btill worse. Everybody desired to say sumething to the officers of the road, whoce first duty waa ot course 6 the helpless wounded, lying bleed. ing along tho roadbed, ‘The boay of a man Was noticed lying uuder one of the wrecked cars. It was then pot known that life was already extinct, but that soou ascertained to bo thi 1 features of Isaiah Weaver were recognized by his brother, whe himseif was ivjured.

A whispered con- versation between them and Sneider ensued, and overcome by thor representations, the physician in cbarge gave Lis consent and Snolder was escortea down stairs and placed in the vehicle. He appeared to be in pain and very feebic, but he went away of his own accord, it reemed, and withont acy compulsion whatever, The carriage was then driven to the Occl- dental Rotel, where tho patieut was provided with a room, fis two custodians then consulted with bim.

Both seem to bave acted hastily, but with no other purpose than the good of the prisoner aud his victim, Medical attendance was secured during Sneidcr’s ao- Journ in the Occidental; but, fearing that proper ‘care could not be admivistered there, and anxious to heal the aifferences between the wounded man and McGlory, it was determined to couvey him to tho houso of his aseailant’s mother.
