Al 3 o'clock till, morning at Ravenna, Ohio, on the New Vork, Lake lirie and Wcitcrn rail road It'itiu No. H, the lam eipresa bound for New Vork, while stundinj; rit the de pot awaiting orders, was dashed into from the rear by n freight. The day conch in the rear was completely tclcs coped and nineteen passengers killed and tliirtr-einlit severely wotinsled. The coach and two sleeiers lorward took lire anil were soon consumed, burn iiiK the bodies so that they were al most unrecognizable. A secial surgeons' and nurses' train has been sent from Vouii(;stown, The Particular. Alliance, ()., Julv 3. The wreck at Kavciiuu on the New York, I.nkclvrie and Wi slci n railroad is the most disastrous that has over occurred on the Uric road. A SK-ciul train was sent from Yoiiiis town conveying stngcom anil nurses to care lor the injured. As yet the names ol the kilUd and the injured are not obtainable, Died In llielr He rllis. Many of the passengers on the train were asleep when the awlul crash came and a number were crushed to death in their berths. A terrible scene followed. There were cries for help from nil parts ol the train, mingled with living moans ol others whose lives were being crushed out, Cruahed and Hrulned. Steam was escaping from the iiionslci freight engine, and soon the vieckcatighl lire ami the flumes crowded iioti those who were fast in the wreck. The few iersons who ese,iied without injury worked with almost sucrluimun power in their cll'orts lo rescue the more unfor tunate ones. Horrible. In several instances persons were slowly burned to death while pleading with their lasl breath for the help which could not be rendered. The wreck was most complete. The eats were piled umiii and across each other almost in a solid mass. The small pai ty of rescuers worked at a disadvantage. As rapidly us the in jtued were rescued they were conveyed lo the station where physicians from Kavciiuu and other near Hiints rendered all the assistance possible. The lire was hunlly extinguished, hat not until several jicrsous had ici ishel. AwallliiK IdeiitllicatloH. In a couple ol hums the company hail1 responded nnd a relief Lrain with a corps ! ol physicians and nuiscs arrived from! Cleveland and other points, and the in-1 jured were given every attention.

The company tirticinls now lure say thev will rentier all the assistance possible and will as soon as Kissible make the most complete investigation. Who's To Hlanic7 It would npiearthat the whole accident was due to the carelessness of some one in leaving a switch open. The heavy freight train was running at the rate of 30 miles an hour and It struck the pas senger train with full force. It is rumored that three of the .acmliers of the I'itls- burg baseball team were killed in the wreck, but this is not liclicvcfl, as they plav uuother game at Cincinnati today. The Train Was Heavily Loaded. Cincinnati, July 3. The Kavennn 1 school meet in the Central chureh this ut wreck evidently eauuhi I'iiwllav nml tcruoon nt 6 o'clock to receive tickets ' " - Cincinnati passengers exclusively. The Chicago vcstibuled train is met at Marion Junction by the through New York slceicr from Cincinnati, where the latter is attached lo the rear of the train. Last niglil there was such an unusual niinilH'r of passengers Irom here that two sleepers insicnd of one were nttached They arc evidently the two reported tie. stroyed in the wreck. The day coach which was in the rear nml while going from I'inillay to Youngstown would naturally be placed in the rear of the Cincinnati slet'iicrs, nntl as the Kcial car would not be sent out with less than SO passengers the probability is that the casualties may all be limited to that car. Telegrams received here Irom Mrs. Martin of Cincinnati, who was in one of the Cincinnati sleepers, nnd from Robert Mitchell, who was in the other, slate thutthey had escaped. There has not been so heavy a train loud sent frosi here this summer before as the one ssnt last night. Fire's Added Horrors. YotiNtiSTowN, Ohio, July 3 At Ra venna the worst railrsad wreck which ever hapiancd on the Western Reserve, excepting the Ashtabula horror, occured this morning, resulting In tin; death of twenty-five people and the serious if not fatal injury of at least sit more. Fire added its terrors to the slready frightful scenes, and the braised remains of the victims were badly burned while one poor woman, pinioned in the wreckage, was cremated before the eyes of the spec tators who worked to secure her release until driven off by the flames. How the Accident Happened. The east bound Krie vestibule No. R, due at Youngstown at 2:!i5 a. m., was very late nnd was running on orders. When a stop was made nt Ravenna the engineer and fireman of the passenger train went to work to repair the engine and the train was again detained severnl minutes, A flagman was sent back, but went only a few feet at most two car lengths. Suddenly around the curve, west of the city, came train No, S2, cont inued of Swift's meat cars. The train was running twenty-five miles an hour, and coming down a heavy grade. The engineer supimsed he had a clear track, and it beinu; a through train, he was not expected to stop at Ravenna, He called for the brakes and reversed his engine, but all lo no purosc. On came the freight r fi with but slightly decreased speed, and so word of warning could lie gives the iieople in the doomed train. The Crash. A few feet west of the station the en gineer anil fireman jnniped, alighting safely. A moment more nnd the heavy freight crashed into the passenger train. I'or a moment after, there was the si lence of death, and then commenced the most frightful cries, the moans of the dy ing, pitious cries for help from the im prisoned anil helpless passengers. The mulilatetl and bloody remains of the dead were seen through the frag ments of debris nnd formed u scene of horror. The freight engine had gone clear through the day coach in the rear, through the sleeicr ami buried itself in the second slcciier, the third car of the train. There was nothing left of the car but a mass of wreckage, and the sales of the third stood about a monster engine as if to hold it prisoner and prevent fur ther damage. Then the Fire. This scene lasted but a moment when little tongues ol flume sprang up here nnd there and soon the whole wreck was wrapped in fire, ll was a sickening sight. Two scores of imprisoned pas sengers were in the debris. The flames lighting up the place with a lurid glare, served only to intensify the horror with out aiding the rescuers. As soon as the dazed passengers in tin other cars recovered themselves they rushed to the rescue of their unfortunate companions. The lire department was immediately telephoned for and every one in that end of the little city rushed to the scene of the disaster. Hundreds of persons soon surrounded the wreck, but lo little purpose. The awful ruin had lieen wrought and little was left to tlo hut to secure anil care for the remains of the dead. The Tew passengers easily reached were promptly rescued and sev eral bodiss of the dead and thing were carried up to the depot platform. The Killed. Ravknna, Ohio, July 3.

London, July 3. l'urnell's marriage has nut helped bis cause, as he and his Irieuds last week confidently honed it would. The actios of the Irish bishops vestcrdny in reaffirming their declaration that I'arnell was unfit to be n leader to the Irish people shows that no quarter will lie given him by the clergy. This is considered to be a final blow to 1'nriicll'b cause, and the reception which he met with at Cailow yesterday shows that the people have ceased to pay any atten tion to him. At Marshall, it may be added, that I'arnell addressed a meeting at which only 30 Koplc were iccsciil. Archbishop! Walsh has written a letter to Thomas Sexton, M. I'., expressing the prelate's gratitude for the splendid ser vices rendered by Sexton anil his cob leagues in parliament during the discus sion of the Irish land bill. The Arch bishop says that although they did not win success on every point, they still gained enough to reticent the hill from being rather a curse than a blessing to Ireland. WHO WILL CI.OSK.
