THE VICTORIAN RAILWAY DISASTER.

Sufferings of the Wounded.

Omk of the passengers injured by the acci dent at Little Piiver gave the following narrative of the occurrence :—"I left Bal-

larat by the 7.10 train last night, intending to spend a day or two in Melbourne for a change, and little expected to begin my outing with such a narrow escape from a violent death. With my usual Inok I had

nearly missed the train at Oeelong through lingering on the platform, therefore had to get into a carriage nearer the engine than I liked. There was only a brake van between the carriage (second-class) I got into and the engine. We went along pretty quickly after leaving Little River, and of course ex pected nothing wrong. All of a sudden I heard the whistle's scream, and felt sure some thing was going to happen. The brakes came down with a jerk that bumped me right forward against a woman who sat opposite to me, and sent me back against the carriage with a thud that nearly shook the breath out of mo. I had just time to draw my feet up, when the carriage seomed to crush right ill upon me, and in a moment I found myself right out of the carriage against the embankment. Luckily for me I was forced straight out of the carriage when it smashed up. It was raining heavily, and very misty, but I could soe that our train had run into a long train of trucks. The engines hud met head to head, like two rams butting at each other, and reared into the air "and fallen togother in one great heap, and the coal and wood out of the tondor of the goods train had fallen ovor on the driver, who was all doubled and jammed up under it. Poor fellow, I saw him taken out. Ho looked to be dead, but I hoard ho lived a little while after. All the breath seemed out of my body, and I could hardly stir, being very soro and bruißod.3vith a groat piece of the woodwork of tho carriage pressing mo against tho em bankment. I got it turned over away frcm me. Presently some gentlemen helped me to push it off. A lot of trucks were huddled up together, and tho sight was awful. There was a great deal of groaning and crying from tho people in the carriage I had been in. Tho roof of it had come right down on them, and the sides had given way and got smashed in. I went to help as well as I could, and wo found one poor lady actually pinned to the floor, with tho roof lying on her. Wo got her out somehow, and laid her on the {{round. Everybody who was hurt was thirsty, and cried out for water, and I felt myself as if my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth. Wo could not move without tumbling over tho ruins of the carriages, and so mado mattors worse for me. I got a nasty wound on my shins from tumbling among a heap of ironwork .all twisted up with tho collision. We could not see much cither, and were afraid every minute of treading on someone. It seemed like a month before nnyono came, but by and by some people began to arrive, and they brought us gome whisky and some brandy, but we wanted water most, and we were a good while before wo got any. Tho station master from Little River brought some at last, and gome of the people got somo more for us. Everybody was very kind, but there was a great deal of confusion. I felt very faint, and had .to lie against the embankment in tho rain for some time. Just as I felt going off a gentleman gave me some brandy, which put a little life in me, and 1 tried to help to build a fire to give a bit of light, but I fait very sick and faint, and had to leave off soon. I wont and sat in one of tho car riages for a while, and kept out of the way, because I thought if I could not help I would not hinder them. Then I must have got insensible, because it was a good while before I know where I was. My watch glass waß smashed, and tho hands dented into the face, and it ha 1 stopped j but some body said a train was coming up from Mel bourne, and that it was getting on for 2 o'clock. I could not walk then, hut they very kindly lifted me into tho special and brought me down to town." An unduly long time elapsed before as sistance was at hand for tho sufferers, nearly four hours passing before the relief train reached the scene of the collision. On this gubject a narrative furnished by Mr Thornley, M.L.C., who was in the first class compartment with Mr T. F. dimming, M.L.C., Mr Woods, Undor-Seoretury of Mines, New South Wales, and others, is very instructive. Ho says : —" The first intimation I had of the collision was a violent vibration and jumping of the carriage, and Mr Bradshaw, who sat opposite, was pitched against mo with considerable force. We were all thrown violently backwards and forwards, and it seemed as if there Mere two collisions. Our carriage was bulged out of shape, so that we could not open tho door, and Mr Cumming got out through tho window. Getting my back against the door, I managed to burst it open, and we all left tho carriage. The cries and groans of tho injured were most heartrending. Tho darkness of the night, with rain falling heavily, increased the wretohedness of the poor sufferers. All who had escaped with out injury lent them what help was in their power, but little could be done to assuage their pain. When the collision took place, nearly all the lights were blown out, and some little time elapsed before we could get the lamps re-lighted. Mean while, as may readily be imagined, the con fusion was indescribable. \ cry soon after the accident, a lamp was placed at the end of the train to stop any coming train. When the excitement had partially sub sided, I set to work to get the cushioned seats out ef the first-class carriages, and with these we improvised stretchers, on which we carried the injured into the guard's van. Soon after the accident, I inquired if anyone had gone to tho nearest station for assistance, and was told a mes senger had been despatched to telegraph tidings of the disaster to Melbourne and elsewhere. Tho collision occurred at 7 minutes to 10, and I confidently expected that a relief party, with medical assistance and requisites, would arrive by midnight; but hour after hour passed by, and no relief train appeared, and meanwhile the agony of the sufferers was fearful to behold, and their piteous moan ing and wailing would have pierced the stoutest heart. Whether any satisfac tory explanation can be given I know not, but the relief train was an unconscionably long time in coming ; in fact, relief might have been sent by road from Melbourne sooner than it arrived by rajl. Into this matter the most searching in quiry should be made. With informa tion of the disaster telegraphed to Mel bourne very shortly after its occur rence, it seems monstrous that within an hour's ride of town injured passengers should be left without relief for the space of four hours. The publ\c will want to knsw why medical aid and necessaries were so long delayed, and whether it would not have been possible to havo promptly des patched a relief party to attend the injured, to be followed as soon as arrange ments could be made by a breakdown gang to clear the line. At a time like that prompt aid to the injured is of the utmost importance, and one cannot help feeling that the mint awful responsibility rests on the shoulders of whoever is blamable forthe avoidable delay. I would suggest that a re lief carriage shoul.l be kept in constant ro ldij ness at Melbourne station, equipped with .every requirement for the relief of tho in jured, and that the head official on duty Bhould have authority to despatch a relief train as promptly as possible on receipt of intelligence of a disaster of this kind.'1 The Inquest.—Station-master Charged -with Manslaughter. At the inquest into the circumstances of the accident, several witnesses were ex amined. Annie Biddle, daughter of the Wprribee statiotimn-ster, said that when her father went to t '■, :■ ! i■.i r practice ho told her that \i the goo.L; iruin came before 9.30 it was to go on, if after that time to put it in to the siding, and have the "line clear" message sent to Little River. The goods trajn arrived at 9.25, when the driver threw out the staff,, and the porter

gave him the other one. Witness sent the telegram as stated, but could not explain why she did it, for she had not forgotten that the train had been sent on. Witness was not in tho employ of the Railway De partment. Sho was 17 years of age, and had been accustomed to do the telegraph ing, and had done the telegraph busi ness for the last two or three years. Had never made a mistake in a tele gram before. Thomas Biddle, who was cautioned before giving his evidence, explained that he had told his daughter that he should be back by twenty minutes to ten. If the goods train was later than 9.30 she was to detain it. He admitted that he had accepted the blame for the affair in writing. There was nothing in the regulations to prevent him being absent occasionally. Hia daughter was not paid for her services. He told his daughter that "lino clear" should be given to Little River not later than twenty minutes to ten. When, on returning for the passenger train, and the mistake began to dawn on them, his daughter became terrified and amazed. He had been hopeful of getting his daughter into the Railway Department, and had been instructing her. He had not given the porter any instructions about the staff on the night of the collision. Witness often worked for 15 or 20 hours, and had never been absent on the arrival of tho passenger trains. The jury found that the accident was duo to the. telegram sent by Miss Biddle, in the absence of her father, who absented himself without leave after giving her such instruc tions as he thought necessary. The Coroner said that tho verdict was not definite enough. The foreman replied that it was understood tho Coroner would, from what ho had said, take it upon himself to commit Biddle for trial under any circumstances. The Coroner committed Biddlo for trial for manslaughter to the next Assi/.e Court at Geelong.

Dauoavillk, this day

This evening, between four and five, tho Governor is expected hore. With the usual pluck and energy of tho Da'gavillo people, every preparation is being mado to do him honour, a splendid triumphal arch being erected on tho main wharf, shops, hotels, and private hous<s being decorated with tree ferns, nikau, red blossom of pua!;akihaUha, etc., while Hags of all nations in abundance mako the township look excessively pretty. Two hundred natives on horse back arrived to-day, and they welcome and korero tho Governor to-morrow morning. Between three and four hundrod more aro expected between this and then.

We trust that your Excellency's visit will bo as productive of pleasure to your Excellency as wo feel sure it will bo oi advantage to the district. Wo pray j our Excellency to be assured of our best wishes, fiat you may enjoy a happy and prosorous career a? the representative of our beloved Queen."

FIRE IN PARNELL.

SuoitTLV before 11 a.m. to-day, a four roomed cottage, situated at tho lower ond of Brighton Road, Parnell, was destroyed by lire. The cottage was owned by Mr Samuel White, and was in tho occupation of a man named Daniel McGeary. The cir cumstances under which the fire origin ated are as follows :—Tho solo occupant of tho houso at the time of the firo was Mrs McGeary, the husband being away at work and tho children attending school. Mrs McGeary had been washing clothes in tho kitchen but had left the houso for the purposo of purchasing blue. Thoro was a firo of light wood burning in the front room, and it is supposed that some sparks from this ignited tho woodwork near the firo place. At any rate on hor return the house was on fire. She gave tho alarm but thoro wore no men in tho vicinity at tho time, and tho houso was soon reduced to ashes. None of the furniture, with the exception of a table, was saved. By the time the newly-formed Parnell Fire Brigade arrived they wore too late to be of any service. The cottage was insured for £75 in the New Zealand office, and tho furniture for £50 in the United.

SAO AND SHOCKING SUICIDE.

[by telkoraph.— pkess association.]

Ciibistchurcii, this day. The dead body of a man, with a bullet wound in his head, was found in Hagley Park yesterday. From a lettewon the body it appears that deceased was John Hosewell, and his brother, James Rosewell, is living in Sydenham, and his wife at Devonport, England. In the letter, which was very sad reading, the unfortunate writer set out that he had been in the Royal Marine Service, and some four years ago was invalided through blood poisoning. Since then he had suffered creatly, o-pecially from pains, in tho head. He came hero in the lonic, arriving a few weeks ago, but though better on tho voyage he soon had a return of his old malady. Failing to get relief from various doctors he applied to, he spent the last money he had—£2—in the purchase of a revolver, with the intention of destroying himself, ashedespajred of everob tainingareleasofromhispains. He wrote the first part of his letter on April 7, on which day he intended to shoot himself ; but lie went to see a druggist, then to Dr. Townsend, and finally was admitted to the Hospital. No rolief followed, however, and ho eoya that lie falsely stated ho was better, in order to get out of the Hospital, and on April 15—the date of the second portion of this letter—he appears to have carried out the intention with which he bought the revolver.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN INVER CARGILL.

Husplctous Circumstances.

(BY TKXKIiUAI'H.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

IxVF.ni'AimiLL, this day. Another oxtensive fire oceuired in Tay street this morning, when the Theatre Royal, Provincial Hotel and Catholic school house were burnt down. Tho alarm was first given by a lodger in tho hotel, who was aroused by tho persistent howling of a dog chained in tho yard. Tho inmates all got out safely. Tho fire began in the Theatre, which had not been occupied since tho Palvation Army left it somo weeks ago. Tho flames quickly spread to the hotel which adjoined the Theatre, and thon on another sido, tho old building formerly known as the Mechanics' Institute. The Brigade wa-= soon at work, but with a limited water-supply, could do nothing but protect tho threatened build ings. A portion of the furnituro was re moved from tho hotel, and a billiard tablo from tho saloon. A small structuro along side used by Cockorill and Co., implement makers' otlice, was also dostroyed. Tho buildings burnt down wore orectod twenty years ago and burned rapidly, the heat at times being so great as to bo unbear able on the other side of tho two chains street. The boll was rung by a young man named Q'Hriei), a stranger in tho town, who was subsequently arrested on a charge of larceny. It appears that dining tho firo ho was seen taking away somo bottles of whisky from tho hotel, putting it in an overcoat, which he afterwards planted." When ho left tho spot a dotoctivo lifted tho garment and put it in another place, anil soon after O'Brien came and complained to the officer that his coat had been stolen.

LIONEL PHILLIPPS'S ESTATE.

Offer of 6s In tho Pound Refused.

Am adjourned meeting of tho creditors of Lionel Phillipps was held thja after noon for tho purpose of confirming the resolution passed last week, accepting a composition of 5s in the £5. The meeting was to have been held on Saturday, but, on the representations of Mr Thpo. Cooper, who appeared for Messrs Lango and Thcrnham, of Melbourne, the Ofljcial Assignee did not feel in a position to put tho motion for con firmation, and as there was a difterenco of opinion as to the interpretation, he put it to tho meeting that they should adjourn until to-day, and so it was decided. When tho meeting commenced to-day, Mr Lawson sajd the total indebtedness was £2,10?, and tho offer made was 5s in the £, which would amount to £520. An approximate estimate showed assets to bo:—Stock, £433; book debts, £300; surplus security, £40.-Mr Lawson proceeded to exp'.ain that it waa hardly likely that this money cq ild bo realized. The proposed dividend would leave a margin of £254 (3a 10.1, which waa cq ;al to another 2s Gd in tho £, whj h made the estate, according to the estimated valuatior, 7s 6d in the £.— Mr Cave attended on behalf of the official assignee; Mr Brasscy for the debtor; Mr Theo. Ccoper for Lange and Thoneham, and other opposing creditors, while Mr E. F. Huddle was also present oi behalf others. Mr Cooper desired an adjournr tn-^nt, 'stating that on informal irjof had been sent; to his Melb3urne (lients, but Mr Brassey and others a Ijourned.—Mr Cooper pointed out that it was against the commercial interests of Auckland to be shut out from voting on an important resolution such as this. Mr Cavo said ho had advised the assignpo to take the ruling of the Supreme Court upon the question wherher absent creditors were to be counted in arriving at the amount necessarp to pass tho resolution. The resolution was then put when creditors representing £959 Os Cd voted in favour of it, and those representing £329 Cs against it, Lancje and Thorman's proof for £300 being excluded, it There being more than one-fourth of the amount represented in the room against the resolution tho Official Assignee declared it lost. The total amount for which votes were recorded was £1,288 Cs 6d-^£959 for, and £329 against. The Act requires three fourths of the total value to vote forthe re solution ; in this case tho amount fell short by £7. The total liabilities in the estate have boon ascertained to bo £2,150,
