Owing to tho breaking of a tire train became derailed at the bridge which crosses the river Optoukha. The engine, followed by the carriages, phmged along, toaring up the tracks and breaking through the parapet of the bridge. Five carriages all fell from the bridge to the ico-covered river, and breaking through the ice were submerged, with Lheir passengers, in the chilling waters beneath. Owing to the fact that the accident occurred in desolate section of the county, where the population is scarce, there is but meager reports, except such as were given by those who escaped injury. From one of the lost carriages only one person was reseuod. Up to the present twenty-six corpses have been recovered, and many more are supposed to be under the debris. A number of persons wore injured.

The passengers, whose attention had been called to the engine by the sound escaping steam, with one accord made a dash for the doors. .1 the rush it was impossible lor any one to get out. Many had to get out of the windows, breaking the glass and sashes in their wild endeavor to escape. It was while the excitement was at its highest and during which time some of the terrified passengers had managed to jump out that the engine struck the car in the center, throwing it from the track and rolling it over several times in the street The car continued on the line of the railroad tracks and the engine, repeatedly striking it, speedily reduced it to splinters, while the passengers escaped as best they could. The engineer managed to stop his engine before anyone had been run over, but not until the traiu had gone some distance. People in the neighborhood who had seen the accident hastened to the scene and rendered all of tho assistance they could. The police department were notified and patrol wagons were. sent. Medicai assistance was called and tho injured ones were taken c*rc of and as soon a? possible removed to their homes. i'HNHtmgorrt Badly Shaken.
