SIXTY LIVES LOST.

AN EXPRESS TRAIN WRKCKED.

Cars Tlirown From n. Htßli Bridge- JPaflsengers Burnctl to JD»ath.

OoSfOOBD (N.H.), February o.—Tho ox proae train that left Boston at 7 o'clock last night m6t with a terrible accidont near Woodstock, on tho Contral Vermont road, about 2-S'j o'clock tliie morning. Tho train startod from thia city on time, but was detained at White Kivcr junction so it was a , out an hour and a half late. It con sisted of n locomotive, a baggage car, a postal car, two paesengor conches, and two "sleepers. It wae running at the ueual rato of epeed, and whon about 200 yards south of the ond of tho bridge, nenr tho old Windsor statiori, a broken rail was struck. The locomotive, baggage car, and pestal car broke awny from the rest of the train, passing over tho bridge in safety. Tho rest of tho train was thrown from the raile, and continued on tho roadbed until it came treat tho end of the bridge, but there it ran ovor the abutment, and all the cars fell into the Whito Kiver, some fifty foot down. Tho gorgo at this point is very stoop, and when tbo cara went down there wae a terrible crash. As soon aa possible tne dota'ched part of the train was stopped ana run back to tho scene of tho disaster. The soroama of the injured were heart-rend ing. Assistance ciuie from people in the vicinity, and everything was dono to reecuo and reliove the injured. Soon aftor holp arrived it wae discovered that a fire had started in tho first coach and tho entire train waa ablaze, thus addiag a new horror to a frightful catastrophe. Those present were powerless to stop tho fira and devoted thomselves ontiioly to attempting to rescue those imprisoned in ilia wreck. The rescuers mot anothor and unexpected obstacle in the heat, which had become so intense that they wore- obliged to relinquish their efforts to save tho sufferers, and were com pelled to retreat to a place of safety for themselves and to become unwilling wit nesses of a terrible scene. In addition to this, and to add to tho horrors and suffer ings of tho passengors, tho woathor was in tonsely cold, and tho horoic rescuers were liinderod thereby in their work. No water could bo obtained with which to check or extinguish tho ftstnos. Tho ico was several inches thick on tho rivor, and thero were no appliances at hand to raise it. 'iVetity-six portonp, bo far aa knoiyn, were taken out nlivo from tho care which were burned. Two died sooa aftor being taken out. Tho two passenger coaches were well tilled and every berth in both sleeping cars was occupied, and twelve in the oue from Springfield, making tho total number of paeac-iignre tv tho wrecked care about eighty. This will probably mako the number of dead between fifty and sixty. Tho bridge was between thirty and forty feet above tho water, which was covered with thick ice, making it probable that 'loath resulted from crushing and burning rather than from drowning. Sovoral wore nonn6d in the wreck who might have been reecued alive but for the flames- Brakeman Parker, who was on tho forward end of the first pasEongor car, felt the jar and saved bis life by jumping. On the ice below the bridge site are twenty-six charred and un recognisable bodies. Many more were doubtless croinated.

A Crowded Train.

This will not include thoso that may have been carried into the river through tho ice. Tho latoet computation as to the number of persons on tho train place 3it at over 100. Whon tho last car on the ico ia over-haulotl tomorrow and further iden tification takes place a moro complete list of the killed will bo obtainable, al though it ia thought that some of the bodies already recovered aro co dUfieured OS to preclude any identification. Many of the survivors will probably die of their wounds. Coneidering the height fiom which tho cars foil, and tho speed at which tho train was running, it » regarded aa a miracle that any on board escaped.

A Son's Effort to Bavj Bis rather.

One of the first passengers to escape from the wreck was Joseph Magnet, a French (Jaiiadiac boy. He was wilh his father in the third car from the reir. Ho was dozing in his seat when he felt the ear shiver. Thia motion was kept up for a few seconds and then tho car dashed over the bridge upon the ice. By hard work the boy suc ceeded in getting out of ? D8 of the ? v }"' dows. He at once went in search of hie father, and discovered him by the lißbfc of the burning wreck just above him, penned down by a part of the top of the car which had fallen directly across bis chest anrl legs. The old man was as firmly held as if in a vice. Ho ecized his father and struggled to extricate him, but in vain. The flames were ap proaching rapidly. "Joseph," said his father, "run and get an axe or saw, but the boy could not find either. " Pull me out, then," said the father, " oven if you have to break my legs to do it " Joeoph tried, but could not stir hie fathor an inch. With wonderful coolnees the father thon bade his son good-bye, and the boy was forced to watch his parent slowly burn to death in the debrie. Saved From the Flames Iv tho first coach was Conductor Sturto vaot, pinned down under timbers. The rescuere oacr got hold of an arm aud pulled with all their might and ftt last got him out, but not be ore his legs and body wore fearfully burned. His ribs and thigh bones ivcro broken. He waa laid out upon the ice and tho rescuere went to Mane Sadler of Ormetown, Quebec. Sho waa piuoed dowu by tlie legs by heavy broken timbers and waa unable to movo. Tho raoa got hold of her aud pulled with all thtir strength. At last they gut her free, but they broke her ankle doing so.

Forty-two Known to be Lost. Midnight.—lt is positively known that forty-two persons perishbd, while there Iβ a probability that a number of other corpses will be found in the wreck or under the ico. One of the wrecked cars on the ice has not yet been overhauled, and it is thought that at leist twenty bodies are in the debiis. Should this prove true it would run the list of killed up to over sixty.

A Novel Plan of Raising Triplets Adopted at Glasgow. A cable special from London eaya : An at- ] tempt haa'been made in the Maternity Hos pital at Glasgow to raise babies in a queer way. Triplets were born there prematurely, six aud α-half months old. They were put, naked, into a wooden bex divided into two compartments, upper and lower. They crawled arouad, or rathor lay helpless in the upper compattmenf, whilo hot water bottles in the lower compartment kept tbo air as hat ita any »riplei could wish. A moiet sponge prevented to? much drynew aud a thermometer regulated iho tuptAy of hot bottles. Two of the triplots have died bo far; the other, it is thought, will live, which the dootora say ho could not possi bly have done H he had not been brought nn mv machinery.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Jonas Fosdiuk, a well-known cuboian, died in tho Hospital this afternoon from injuries sustained in a carriage accuiont. Ho was driving soma sailors and marines to Onehunga about a month ago, when the accident in question happened. Foadick leavoa a wifo and several children. An inquest will probably bo held by Dr. J'hilaon to morrow.

BLASTING OPERATIONS IN THE CITY.

A woitK of considerable utility is now in progiesa in connection with tho grounds at tached to the Boresford-streot School,which, whon complotod, will provide for the children n splendid playground, entirely level, and of some four or fivo acres in ox tent. Thi-s is being attained by cutting down one part and filling up another with the tarth thus obtained. The labour in rolvcd in doing this was proving very great, owinij to the very tough character of the ground, and the consequent sovero fatigue had a very dis heartening effect on the men employed. However, reliof unexpected was near at hand in the person of Mr Samuel Gorman, travel ling instructor for Nobel's Explosives Com pany. Mr Gorman,who had just arrived on an official visit to this city, no sooner heard of the work in progress than he determined to see for himself, and proeently appeared on the scene with a pound or two of his favourito explosive in his pocket. Disre garding tho sceptical remarks of thoso in charge, ho set to work, and in a britf spaco of time had put in a couplo of shots greally to tho astonishmont of beholdors, and sulli cient to keep ton mon with four drays busily occupied for a day or inoro. Having thus established the character of his explosive, Mr Gormai) promised to give- a further trial yesterday on a somewhat larger tcalo. On arriving on tho ground our representative found all in readiness to proceed. A holo had been bored to a deptn of r.me foot, co that tho bottom of tho hole was on the level of the floor of tho cutting, tho bore being placed nine feot back from tho face of tho cutting, having at the rear and on one sido rieing ground Tho resistance offered by this position was 1 cgardod as miking a very tight corner and subjecting tho capabilities of tho oxplosivo to a severe test. The ex plosive was now dropped in cartridge by cartridge and proseod down, and next tho detonator, with fuse attached, was loworcd until it rested on the cartridges ; tho earth was then replaced, .ihghtly rammed down, and tho fuso being lighted, tho order w.is given to rotiro, which was promptly obeyed, and at a safe distance tha roault was keenly watched. After an interval, which probably eoorned much longer than it really was, tho bi.nk tf O'lith appeared to become endued with lifo like energy ac it suddenly lifted and rolled bringing down an immense quantity of earth, a mufllod report at tho samo time indicating the why and wherofore of co much commotion. A closor inspection revealed the fact that the ground was bioken up at tho back and along the face for a distance of fourteen feet on each eido ot the explosion, and would readily yield to shovel and pick. The quantity of explosive used was rather more than 41b?, and thus, at the cost of a ft-v shillings, sufficient earth waj broken and hoapod up to keep tho entire staff of 10 or 11 mon and four drays employed for ten or twelve hour?, and altogether avoiding the eevero physical strain and consequent fagging long before the day was out. That wai the case before, without the aid of this explosive. " Somo thing like a blast that," the men say, and picking up their shovels tho drays are again in process of being rapidly and eatily filled with tho broken and crushed dtbris thrown out, Tho explosive ueed is noither dynamite nor blasting golatiue, but an ex piorive in character ' etweon the two. It U called Gelatine-Dynamite, and in appear ance is a most innocent looking compound, resembling athick jelly of a brownish colour. It is much more powerful than dynamite, and peculiarly adapted for earth cuttings, and yet the hardest rock readily yields to ita power. It also poseoesee the peculiar and valuable property of being entirely un affected by submersion in water, thus afford ing contractors and others an invaluablo agent in damp workings and submarine blasting ; it is in every way the contractors' friend. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that Mr Gorman, as travelling instructor for Nobel's Explosives Company, places hie services gratuitously at the command of any requiring direction and advice in tho uso of explosives.

Onehunga Borough Council.

The usual meeting of tho above body was held on Monday. Present -.—Messrs Hill, Tapp, Keehan, Hills, Jackson, Goldsbury, liowe, and Wilson. As the Mayor was abeent, Mr Jackson conducted the meet ing. A loiter from Mr Greene, pointing out thafi the Spring water passed through the cemetery reserve, was received. It waa also agreed that the Returning Officer, Town Oierk, and Mayor be a committee to arrange for conducting future elections in the Council Chamber. On the motion of the Chairman, it was resolvoi to draw the engineer's attention h> the neglect of Lavery's Rock contractor, and that instruc tions be given to havo the contract either completed or allow it to lapse. The recom mendation of tho Reserves Committee, that Mr Joseph Hastie's lease be not extended, was adopted. The recommendations of the Streets Committee were adopted ac fol lows :—That E. B. Bicknell's request 'to place culvert in Princes-street be I declined, but that an inveit be per mitted ; that the improvements Eug- I gosted to Pleasant-Etreot, and tho erection iof a lamp at, the corner of Spring-stroet, ;bo cot proceeded with at present; and that i the borough workmen clear tho obstructions , in Church and Cardwell streets, the cost of the work to bo borne by tho property owners. With regard to tho notice of motion about Bycroft's obstruction, it I was resolved, after considerable dis cussion, "That notice be rent Messrs 1 Bycroft and Co. that their mills and dam are obstructing two public roads, and that they would be required to remove such 1 obstructions." Accounts jmounting to £109 2s 6d wore authorised for payment. The following tenders were accepted for the supply of broken blue metal:—H. Morris, : ' 100 yards at Iβ 5d per yard; John Johnston, 100 yards at 6s Cd ; also, for the supply of scoria ash for Church-street, lid, for Cap tain-street 9i per yard, W. J.

THAMES, this day.

The loader maintains ita thicknops of four inches, and shows dabs and colours of gold protty froely. It is perhaps worthy of mention that it haa not yet been Jfound on the hangingwall sido of tho reof, so that it would seem aa though it has been cut off in this direction by coming in contact with tho hanging-wall lodo. However, in tho faco of tho present drive on the footwall it has been driven on for about luit, and is a strong body of quartz, and shows no sikiis whatever of dying out, tho sandstone being of a most favourable nature Tho fourth stopo on tho hanging-wall reef also produced 15!b of picked stono yestorday after noon, while good colours of gold are also seen whon breaking down in tho various other stopes on tho eamo reef. The crushing is shaping for an ox cellont return, and tho fortnightly cleaning up next Wedr.o'day ehould bo ono of tho best for many months past.

The Explosion Near Sandhurst.

Thoro is but little to add concerning tho terriblo fatality at Arbla*tor'a pow der factory, Sandhurst, on Wodnoeday. Tho lad Cooper died in tho Bcndiyo Hospital early yesterday morning. The manager, Kaoenoinann, who baa oil his hair and whiskers burnt off, remains in a critical state. The deaths are so far eevon in number. Tho ougino driver, one of the survivors, states that tho explo sion occurred on tho eastern sidu of the building, where the hands woro engaged in the eaioty powder factory, rolling up pellets. Persons who saw tho explosion says that sheots of corrugated iron were cast into the air a height ol '.200 or 300 feot The Mines Dopartmont has directed Mr Nicholas, SeDior Inspector of Mines to proceed to Sandhurst for tho purpose of making a strict investigation into the cir cumstances connected with the explosion, with the view of ascertaining whether the regulations framed under the Explosive Act for controlling powder manufactories have been carried out.

They had made a raid on the Moravian people, butfailedto kill any of the latter. On $ ebru ary 5 tho Motu natives attempted to spear one of the mission teachers, but were un successful. Tho man Goodshaw, a pros pector, who was rocently assailed by blacks •n the mainland near Capo York, has since died from tho wounds he then re coived. The Government Resident of Thurs day Island dispatched a party of police to tho scene of tho attack, and thoy, by clever means, induced a party of natives to board their boat. Then, after a desperate struggle, they succeeded in capturing six, including fomo of the actual participators in the attack on Goodshaw.

The new premises have been moat elaborately fitted up In blaok and golo, and the uniqueness of the decorations, both ineide and ont. make the place one of the sights of the city, showing that the flmi have faith In the tumre of their Blonded Teas. Messrs Earle & Co. are well known In Auckland a« clever and reliable tea experts, and that they have taken a hand in the pushing of the new Hne of teas l«, to our mind, a sufficient proof that the article offered is what it is represented to be." The Auckland Evening Stab says:— "Messrs John Karle & Co., the renowned tea tasters and dealers In Auckland, have now opened in Qaeen-street, next Arthur and Bud dies Mart. There are few men about who understand teas better than Mr Karle. He has given the tea business his sole attention for years, and aa a blender of pure teas, ought to receive a large anpport from the hundreds of. homes in Auckland. He deals In nothing but teas, and may certainly claim to be the peoples tea blender." Besides these expressions of appfoval from the public press we are In almost daily receipt of the most encouraging testimonials regarding the superiority ot our Kueeian Co.'c Pure Blended Teas over all other packet teas, and the rapid and steady lnoreane in our trade shows that the tea drinkers of the colony are appreciating our eifjrts to place In their hands f-ure and Properly Blended Tea* at prloes within the retch of all.
