APPALLING RAH WAY ACCIDENT.

A Mail Train in Collision.

(Fbom Our London Correspondent.)

A GLOOM has been thrown over the close of the Whitsuntide holidays by a terrible rail way accident in Scotland, The "Daily Telegraph " of yesterday (16th May) thus describes the catastrophe :— One of the most disastrous railway accidents known in Scotland for Home time occurred shortl> before midnight on Whit- Monday, at Lockerbie Station, on the Cale donian Railway, a double collision took place—the first, though not very serious in its immediate effects, becoming the cause of a second and terrible catastrophe. About eleven o'clock a goods train from Carlisle for Glasgow, which had been shunted, was resuming its journey northwards, and had just began to move when the iirst passenger train from Stramaer to the south ran into Lockerbie from the S.anraer i>nd Dumfries branch, which at thi point joins the main Caledonian line. '1 he signals were against the Straurjer train, but were apparently not perceived by tbe driver, who kept on his way, with the iuevitable result of coming into collision with the goods train, which

was then preceding in the opposite direc^

tion. j>'r ither train, however, was poing at auy sp :e 1, and this first collision, there fore, was unattended with loss of life. The trucks of ihe goods train were violently driven back southwards, ai>d most of them were thrown Off' the metals in such a way aa to block both the up and down lines.

Scarcely had the affect of the collision been 'realised when, to the horror of the officials, the whistle was heard of the mail fiom Edinburgh and Glasgow to the south. Drawa by two powerful engines, and flying along at the rate of over fifty miles an hour, the moil dashed into the wreckage with a terrible crash. Near Lockerbie there is an 'nclinc sloping southwards, and the additional impetus thus acquired by the ill-fated train lent greater force to the shock. In the darkness it was at first unknown how awful was the calamity wh'ch had occurred. .A^the eye, however, became accustomed to the gloom, it could be seen by tbe'dim light of the embers'from the engine fire* that the front portion of the mail train was a complete wreck. From the , broken carriages piled one on another were heard shrieks of pain and cries for ! help. Those who had escaped at once Bet to work with the officials to extricate

their l«ss fortunate fellow-passjcgers. It v>as found tbat the driver and fireman of the first engine of the mail and four of the passengfrs hi<d bten killed on (he spot, while tome 30 persons were more or less iujuied. Telegrams were despatched to Carlisle and Glasgow, and a special train from the latter place arrived at 4 o'clock. It conveyed a number of doctors with surgical appliances, Mr James Thomsorn general manager of the Caledonian Kail way, Mr Kempt, general superintendent, and several other officials. The dead and injured having been got out cf the heap of debris, tbe latter wire attended to, those more eeiiously hurt being taken to hottl* is the town, while these who had only sus tained slight injuries were sent on to their homes.

The mall train left Edinburghat9.2s p in., and on reaching Carstaira, at 10.25 (10 minutes late), took up the other portion, which leave Glasgow at 9.15. Ihe united train was made up of two powerful engines, a meat van, a brako ran, a composite car riage, and two sleeping saloons for London, a compoaiU carriage for MaaohMttr, and a composite and third class for Liverpool, ah it came rnshint down the incline the speed w»s so terrific that an old railway servant remarked that the train would go over the embankment some day. When the collision with the overturned truoki of the goods train took place, the first engiie was pitched on to the wooden exten sion of the platform of Lockerbie Sta tion, tearing it up for a distance of about thirty yards. Next it came in contact with the stone platform, doing similar damage, and sending the stones flying in all directions. At last, fearfully battered, it fell ucross tho platfoim within a few feet of the footbridge. The tender was pushed on by the momentum of the second engine and the other vehicle* for nearly fifty yards further, wrecking the platform as they went, aII the vehicles with the exception of one left tho rails; and as they tore along, crushing against the platform aotljihe waggons oi thejgoods train, they were convened literally into matchwood. The noise of the collision was heard in the town, and brought hundreds to the scene, though the nature oi the oleaster could not be realised till daylight. Two of the passengers who were killed were t^ken from the wrick of a third-class carriage, which had been smashed to splinters. In the compartment behind that in wh'ch the luggage was packed were found the remains of a man so mutilated as to be unrecognisable. A pas senger for London who had been travelling in tho same compartment as far as Car stairs, where he chaDged to one further bick, says his fellow-traveller was of medium height, stout, and had a cork Iff, A young man named Henry Mackenzie, sitting in the compartment with his sweet. heart, Mary BeD, was killed, the girl escaping with Injuries. They bad been on a trip to Greenock, and were to have been m irried in a short time, The next com posite carriage was not so much damaged, but the succeeding vehicle—a sleeping saloon—had one-half torn away. The other sleeping saloon was not much the worse for the accident. Fol lowing this was a composite carriage, with a i-leeping berth in the centte, greatly shattered, while the next composite carriage wag torn to pieces with tho excep tion of the rear compartment. The truck had been forced light on top of this cartage, throwing it on its side, and scattering the woodwork and cushions in all dirtcnons. cut of tho ruitii of this vehicle wore taken tho remains of a man who had been oat to pieces. In the last compartment were six young women returning to London after a holiday. The side of the carriage next the goods train waa dashed in upon them, but, strange to say, they all esoeptd with* out any serious injury. A lady in a first-claEs compartment immediately in front was saved as if by a miracle. It was stated that she had but a few moments be* fore changed her seat from the side near the goods train to one of the corners next the lion, she would without doubt havo been crushed to death, As it was, she was pressed down by tho splintered wood and part of a waggon became fixed within a tew inches of her bead. A Passenger's Account.

A Liverpool correspondent has obtained the following particulars of the collision from Mr M'Call, a, gentleman who travelled from Glasgow to Liverpool in the unfortu nate mail train which met with tho accident at Lockerbie on Monday n:gbt. He says: "We left Glasgow at 9.15 on Monday night. Tho train was crowded, and in tho compartment In which I travelled there w»s the fall complement of passengers-five on ench side. The train stopped, in the ordin ary corns', at Motherwcll Junction, and at Carstairs. At the time of the collision the passengers in my compartment were neatly all asleep. The force of the collision threw us into one another's arras, and at tho fame moment wo could hear, from tho noise it was making, that the carriage had left the rails. It continued to run along the per manent way for several seconds afterwards. When it camo to a standstill I looked out of tho window, and seeing a large flame, , which made ns believe that the train was ou fire, we all got out of the compartment with tho least possiblo delay, On getting out, I noticed that the pilot engino was ly ing on Its left side. On going along the line we discovered a number of passengers very badly h»rt and bleeding profusely, and we rendered them aU the assistance we; could in rescuing them from their dreadful pre dicament, A number of Indies were among the wounded. Miny of the cairiages were smashed into pieces, and the night being very dark, aud the lamps of the carriages having bcou put out by the collision, we could hardly make cur way along the line, On searching araoug the debris of the broken carriages, wo found a lady and her child, both ot whom bavc since died. Had our carriage gone on another length, uo thiug cou'd Iwvo pievonted it and ourselves being (-mashed to pieces. The front por lion of the train was in atoms, and lay upon the killed and wounded, _ The shout ing and screamine of the injured was fearful, and will not be easily forgotten by those who heard it. One of the wounded, I was told, had his spine broken, and, of course, recoveryjn his case was impossible. The doctors from Lockerbie were promptly in attendance, and did everything' to alleviate tbe suffer ings of the injured. The bodies of the driver aud tbe fireman of the pilot-engine

were found buried underneath the engine,

and were literally cut to piecs Tuo fire man's bead was found at one place, and a portion of liis body at another. Hoth the. driver aud the fireman of tho second engine almost miraculously escaped unhurt. They remained oti tho ongiue to the last-, but it was a foi tuaate thing for them that the pilot-engine was in front of them, and thus boro the brunt of the collision. Some of the coal waggons Into which the mail

I had been put were thrown on the top of thn smashed carriages, and the rails in front of the station were forced on to the platform and a large portion of the platform itself was made a perfect wreck. That any of ug should have escaped serious, if not mortal injury, was a matter of great surprise con. Bidering the great speed the mail was eolns at nnd the complete manner in which the carriages were wrecked and smashed, W« were travelling at fifty miles ai hour when the collision occurred, this being the usual rate of speed at which the train travels," miraculous Escapes. The Rev. A. A. Saville, Baptist minister in LJarljHlc, who was in the front compart ment of it,says he saw the ponderous buffers and end ot the truck crushing into the com partment in which he was seated, ripping off the side of the carriage, and smashlne massive planks and teams like laths Ho has a distinct recollection of seeiog (he carnage breaking up before his eves and people tumbling in among the debris ' Ha held himself well back in the corner of the compartment, and escaped with a slight cut. As quickly as possible he extricated himself, and at once busied himself in drawing from the wreck the dead and injured. ' 'ne young man travelling in the same carriage was killed almost instan taneously, and Mr .Saville carded out the body on his back. In another compartment of the name carriage all the passengers escaped without injury, A young man who wum travelling with, his brother and four others in this com. partmeot stated that on arriving at Locker bie they felt the express oscillating. It was travelling at a very high speed, and presently they heard a crash. At the time they were all sitting with their less resting upon the opposite seats. One oj them called out, "Jump out." TWs they did, to prevent the crush of the nats upon their legs In the event of a collision. In a moment they saw the van projected upon the carriage and thundering through its roof, but almost immediately the train came to a standstill, and all the occupants of the carriage were able to get safely through the window on to the platform, and none of them suffered any evil consequences.

SAN FRANCISCO MAIL NEWS.

Death of Mr ThomasEirkham, Stockbreeders at the Antipodes will regret to hear of the death oi Mr Thomas Kirkham, of Biscathorpe, near Louth. Wherever the improved Lincolnshire long! wcol sheep are known, the name of Mr Thomas Kirkham will be as familiar as a household word. We believe it is not dis. puted that Mr Eirkham stood first and tore most as a Lincolnshire ram breeder. And yet his herd of shorthorns was not leas esteemed than his flock, as he used none.but first class pedigree sirei, and many aniraale of his breeding have bten sold for high prices for tbe foreign market. In 1873 Mr Thee, fcuisell, of Auckland, gave 447 guineas for 13 fins runs, bring an average of 34 guineas each. In 1874 there was a large company at the sale and a brisk compsti tion. Before the saU, however, Mr Kirk ham was pre«ented with his portrait, and h»- tfterwardi sold seventy rams, which averaged £32 16, s On that occasion Messri Dndding gave 200 guineas for lot 9. It ia a well-known fact that MrKirkt am sold sheep and sho thorns to go to all parts of the world. One of tue lots he sold just before the ports were closed for Australia wa« 200 pure-bred Lincoln rams and ewes to the celebrated Auntraliaa ram breeder, Mr,G. Cummins, for a large sum of money. As he lived, Mr Kirkham died, a ram brctder, arid it wa< only three weeks before hii death that he sold a ramhogg about s ye»r old f or 50 guineas to Most* *ander< son Sc Co. for exportation to New Zealand. Mr Kiikham never ihowed a sheep in a showjard.—" New Zealand Itemt."

The prospectus is issued of Nelson Bros. (Limited), which has been formed for ac quiring a buiiness no-r carried en at Tomoana, in the Forth Island of New Zealand, and of adding to it the business of refrigerators of meat and other perishable articles. The capital is fixed at £300,000, in shares of £10 each, of which tho first issue is £160,000. The vendors are to receive £80 000, of which £45,000 is pay. able in cash, and the balance in 4,000 shares with Ss paid up.

" An^lo-Australian " says:—Now that I have seen the exhibits of New South Wales at the Fisheries Exhibition, I am more than ever convinced that New Zea« land missed a splendid opportunity for showing what her rivers and lakes can pro duce- Although the colony, however, is quite unrepresented, it is but fair to re member that it contributed £250 towards the cost of the Exhibition, being, by tho way, with ths sole exception of Canada, the only colony that has made a donation of the kind. I think, by.the-by, prizes might be ottered for the beet examples of salmon acclimatisation. This would be sure to have a good effect.

AMERICAN SUMMARY.

San Fbancisco, June 9.

The steamer Pilot, plying between Saa Francisco aud Petaluma, exploded tier bailers on the 25tli May, killing uina per* sons and injuring five, Mies Fanny Kellogg, a soprano ginger of some reputation in operatic circles, Is prof nounced insane,

The City of Baclne, Wisconsin, suffered heavily from a tornado on May 18th, Houses were torn to pieces like cardboards and v. hilled through the air. The reports of rich and extentln gold, discoveries in Lower California are confirmed, So far ns prospected, the auriferous area is about five miles in width, by about twenty in length, and situated in a valley about t«ro hundred miles from Movolje". The prospectors who came into Gurymas on May 15th brought respectively six and teven pounds of couae gold. Meetings have been held in several American cities to denounce the action of thu Pope in writing au encyclical on Iriib affairs to the bishops. One speaker at a Chicago meeting, May 23rd, made the remark that "when tbe Pope became a politician he should be treated as inch "— a sentiment that appears to be universal among tbe Irish .American Catholics. Lieutenant Tcttini, of the Third Savoy Cavalry, stopping at Windsor Hotel, New York, for come months, became enamoured of Miss Lily, a Murray Bill (Brooklyn) belle, and because she did not reciprocate his love, shot himself on May 13th. The Free Trade Conference began its cession in Detroit on Thursday, 31st May. The President, the Hod. David A. Welle, of Connecticut, on takiDg the chair, said tbat the meeting was one of the mest re markable of any held tince the close of tbe war. They had come together to affirm (ho right to sell and buy without' restriction. Ho referred •to depression in _ business throughout the c:untry, and the violence of labour strikes, and said fhat before long the pressure of events will prompt the question, "Why, in this land of plenty and good living, is there such stagnation and dis tress?" It was only a question o{ time when the element of liberty, involved in this free trade, question, should tssert itself. ArnoDg the Utters of regret read was one from Charles Franc's Adams, jun,, who favonred the reduction of revenues to what was necessary in the time of peace. In making this re duction, protect manufacturers by re ' moving the tax on raw materials; put coal, ores, and wool on the free lists ; do not tax tools, books, and machinery ; ex tend the free lists so that manufacturers will be fn a position to contend with tho manufacturers of other lands in the open markets of the world. Do not tax food, medicines and art. Neatly every State in the Union was represented in the Convention, and the question they had met to consider will be an impoitant one in the mxt Presidential contest. The Convention issued an address to the American people.
