IiATER PARTICULARS.

PITTSBURG, Pa., May 28.—The latest reports from the scene of the acident at Horse Shoe Bend on the Pennsylvania railroad, last night, state that eight were killed and six injured. Four, were killed outright and the others since died.

The ill fated train arrived at the Union depot in this city at 4:30 this morning with some ninety passengers aboard. For four long bours a group of anxious mortals paced up and down the passage ways, lingering impatiently and in awful suspense as to the fate of. their friends who had taken passage on the fast line and were expected to arrive in the city at 11:55. last night. Many were the inquiries made of the depot officials regarding the nature of the terrible accident, of whioh all had heard, but either they oould not or would not give the particulars. Every minute seemed an hour to the waiting crowd, and when a shrill whistle at last signalled the arrival of the wrecked train, all eyes were turned toward it.

Almost the first person to step from the train was Miss LcMahon, a school teaoher ia Florida, who was on her way to her home in Beaver Falls, this state. Miss Mc Mahon furnished a thrilling account of the auful cataotrophe which overtook the faflt train. The story a best told in her own words as follows:

1'I

was sitting about the middle of the second coach from the engine. The train was running at a high rate of speed when the accident happened. The shock was terrific. I was thrown violently against the seat in front of me. The train stopped suddenly. In a minute all was confusion and I was at a loss to know what had happened, Boon heard shrieks from the passengers. In the coach in the rear of the one I was in, and I at once knew that something auful had happened. I raised the window and looked out. The sight frightened me. The entire sides of the two coaches immediately in the rear of the one I was in were crushed in, and I oould see the passengers climbing out over the coal oars lying on the adjoin, ing track. The passengers who were not injured assisted in removing the killed and wounded. It was a sight that I shall never forget. Several women in my car swooned away when they saw what bad happened.

Mr. J. H. Peach, of Bellevue. Mifflin county, this state, was a passenger in the third coach from the tmoking car and related a graphic account of the heartrending scenes which followed the death dealing crash. "I was sitting," said he, "about four seats to the rear of Dale Graham. When the trains, collided the entire side of our coaoh was crushed in and yourg Graham was literally buried beneath the ruins. But one moan escaped his lips, and he must have died instantly, for he was about the first victim we set about to recover. When extricated from \e wreck, his form was lifeless.. The side of the car was crushed down upon him, and this, with a large quantity of coal from the freight car, had crushed the young man's life cut before an} assistance could be rendered. I never want to witness Buch distressing scenes again. It makes my flesh quiver when I think about it. The piercing shrieks of women, mingled with the agonizing cries of men, completely overpowers me now, although when the sad calamity occurred, I managed to keep possession of my senses and aided in rescuing the victims to the best of my ability. We must have been running at the rate of about thtrty miles an hour at tbe time the oollisioa occurred,' and the freight train I should judge was going about twelve miles an hour. The freight was heavily loaded, and the terrible crash caused a panic among the passengers. I am surprised thai three times as many were not dashed into eternity."

The official list of killed and injured just furnished by tbe railroad company givee six killed and eight injured. The names are as follows:

CUT HIS THROAT.

A Gold-Blooded Husband Murder in ,.„vtti Louisiana.

NEW YORK, May 28—A New Orleans special 6ays: Details of a remarkable oase of murder in the parish of Cata houla in north Louisiana have just been received. On Thursday last a colored man named Kilpatrick, formerly of Alexandria, residing upon the smal farm of Ben Lee (colored) and married to Rosetta, one of his daughters, was murdered by his wife. On the morning of the murder the oouple had a quarrel and the wife threatened to kill Kilpatrick, following him toTroyville and back home. He was sitting at the table eating his dinner when she slipped up be hind him and drew a razor acroes his throat, and then picked up a club and beat him unmercifully, death following in a few moments. She claimed that it was a case of suicide, but the appearances at the scene of the murder proved to tbe contrary. The table was bespattered with blood, as ^as the other furniture in the room, showing that the un'ortunate man made a desperate Etruggle 'for his life. The club had blood and partioles of hair clinging to it. The murderess intended burying her victim without saying a word, but a oolored man coming along, daw what was going on and reported facts to the justice of the peace of the ward. Upon being arrested, Rosetta made a confession, implicating her brother, Bill Lee. She says Bill approached Kilpatrick while seated at the dinner table and dealt him a powerful blow upon the head with a heavy club, while she used the razor and cut his throat.

The Lee family are known to be a hard set. One member is now in th« penitentiary for life and another is serving his second term. The father, however, is said to be a quiet and peaceable citizen. Kilpatrick was the second husband of the woman, she having on many occasions threatened the life of her first husband, who quit her. Public sentiment is very strong against her and bad not tbe constable hurried her off to jail,undoubtedly she would have been lynched on the spot.

NEW YORK, May 27—3 A. M.—Flames broke out at 1:30 A. M. in the South End Belt stable on Tenth avenue, betweeh Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth streets. The building was entirely destroyed wi4£ sixteen hundred horses and nearly all the oars in the building. Two blocks of buildings are also in flames. The building was a five story structure, and covered a square block, reaching back to Eleventh avenue. In the stables were over 1,600 horses and two cars were saved. At 1:15 A. M. flames, aided by the high wind9, leaped acroes the avenue and communicated to the whole block on the EaBt side, between Fiftythird and Fifcy-fourth streets. The block was composed of a six-story tenement house and a coal yard. The terror stricken tenants pbured outof thebuilding.

1

By

2:30 they were completely gutted. The flames spread to the entire square, and a block over to Ninth avenue. At 2:30 a. m. the next block below caught fire and was blazing fiercely.

The loss to the Belt line people is probably not less than $400,000. It is estimated now that the entire loss will be over one million dollars. The tenement houses were thickly peopled,every floor had from four to five families. 3 a. m.—A message just received from the scene of the fire says it is believed that there has been a heavy loss of life. A mumber of polioemen and firemen were overcome by heat, and were sent to tbe Roozevelt hospital. 3:40 a. m.—Additional reports

indir

cate the distruction of property much greater than first reported. The figures cannot now be given. 3:45 a. m.—Seventy-fiVfe1" tenament dwellings occupied by the poor olasses are entirely destroyed.

Later estimates show that tiie loss by fire will not be covered by a million dollars. The stables area complete wreck and the tenements on the streets facing the stables are also burned. There were 1,400 horses in the stables, 100 of which were saved. .y

The police have examined the ruins but^found no traces of loss of life. The old woman who died from fright is believed to be the only victim.

NEW YORK, May 27.—The fird'at the Belt Line Stables was got under control at 4 o'clook this morning. The stables with their contents and the frame houses on the opposite side of Tenth Ave and down 54th street were destroyed. The loss will not be much less than $1,000,000.
