THE QUINCY CRIME. How the Old Colony Rail- road Accident Occurred. ENGINEER WESTGATE’S STATEMENT. Reckless Method of Regulating a * Dangerous Traffic, GRAPHIO DETAILS Anxious Crowds Searching the Debris. CASUALTIES REPORTED. Twenty Killed and One Hundred and Thirty Injured. Wattastoy Station, Mass., Oct. 9, 1878. All night long until the cold gray morning rose over the south shore the patient workers toiled and labored on the shapeless mass of débvris which was piled on the track as the result of last night’s accident on the Ola Colony Ratiroad. Dimly the lanterns burned in the recesses of the wreck, fMtfully they flickered on she outside like Greflies on a meadow in July. The Wind ewept over the arsh from Squantum Im eold, cbilling gusts, but the work went on. It was a work of man for his brother, ‘labor of humanity and jove, and no sacrifice was leomed too great, no inconvenience too heavy to be dndured, The anxious feces of mothers, wives, sis- tera, brothers and fathers could be discorned close to the wreck, the lines, when tho passing lamp sbone across them, being deeply drawn, Every piece of timber or tron that was removed opening up a new section of the wreck, made the watchers draw stil! eioser. The wreckers moved cautiously among the ruins, with their lanterns close to thelr faces, And peered into the interior in search of yome further evidences of the horrible catas- S‘rophe, The wrecking train hauled away the heavy rortions ef the smasbed cars and threw them off the wwuek further down the road. The engines were frat tomoved and nothing wes found beneath thom; in- feed pothi was expected. The baggage car was sext wheeled away and then the passenger coach “was free, In rushed tne tireless workmen, and when the ploneer had got to the innermost recesses, the ory went up, “‘Are there any more under there?” ANOTHER BODY FOUXD ‘The breath of every bystander is stilled in the Dope that lite may still exist beneath, but no response somes—notbing save the bard breathing of the men who, al! aeeustomed to danger and suffering as they sre, spwak with bated brewh and lower their eyes be- lore the horrors they fear they may sec, A low saur- ar prociams the fact that another body bas deen founa, and the crewd who have Bathered there from curiosity surge deck and forth as the workmen ovear out, on a Padely constructed litter, the bedy of « man bruise and mangled almost past recognition. ‘He was lying face Gown and he died easy,”’ remarked one ef the searchers, as he covered the head of the lifeless body. And now several of the bystanders, under the “aecomimistion of horrors, have in a few short hours grown almost ealloused to the sight of erusned and mangled humanity. The body of the last person tound bas boen idemtitied as that of W.

A large audience assembied at Stexmway Hall last evening to epioy another in the series of concerts that are being given by Maurice Strakosch.

Hoe not only gives his instrument voice, and irom the moment that he touches the strings with his bow makes them fairly sing jm sympathy with his ow natare, bat he interprots with rare graco the meauing of the great masiers, and conveys beauties of which we were previously ignorant.

At the Corener’s inquest last evening the concatenat ion of ciroum- stances pointing unmistakably to the guilt of the prisoner was conclusive to the minds of all present. The aunt of the murdered woman, who, it is be- heved, was nene other than Mary Ana wJegnan, when on the witness stand positively identified ‘ne chemise found on the corpse as one which abe bad herself made and presented to her ML fated neice, and alse iaentified the prisoner as the man to whom tbe girl nad been married, Mary Ann Degnan’s stricken mother identified the shawl of her daughter, found at Reinhardt’s rooms, in Breome strect, as one which she had often worn herself, and en being own Fi jong, dark hair taken from the corpse she shuddered and saf@, ‘Lt is the bair of my poor darling.’? When the prisoner was brought before her she raised beth her hands, exciaiming, “You vagabond, you have murdered my child, you bave murdered my child!’” Although the prisoner refuses to open his lips in re- gard to the terrible accusation against him, no doubt remains in the official mind that be Killed nis victim and ber unbern child with chioroterm im the tamily bedroom on the Friday night before he left Stapleton, and having foreed-the corpse into a barrel wheeled it on a barrow the next morning and buried it whére 1 was subsequently found.
