It is tHought that the rotten ties at the approach to the bridge caused the rails to spread and buried the whole train into the abyss below. The damning up of the creek by the train caused the drowning of many who could have been rescued otherwise. The rescuing still goes on while the track is being repaired. The bridge is not injured. AUDITOR sanderlin WORSE. Raleigh, N.

The fdllowing have since been found dead and injured : Dead, Mrs White, Memphis ; Chas Bonhard, Asheville ; Perry .Bonhard, Asheville ; C G Webber, Pittsburg.

The hotels are crowded with friends of the dead and dying. The bodies of Miss Moore, Mrs White and Mrs Pool have been em balmed and will go forward tojfriends. B. Cameron, of the Governor’s staff, gives your correspondent the follow ing further particulars: I was en route with auditor San derlin to Cleveland, N C, and having lost sleep the night before was sleep ing soundly in the sleeper at the time of the accident. The shock aroused me to complete consciousness and I was not aware that I was nitrt or of what had happened. Then, exerting all my strength, I raised the upper berth a foot or so and got hold on the iron grating overhead and pulled myself out of the water and out of the upper bertb. Here a Mrs Moore asked for help and 1 got her out at a window. 1 went back and shouted for Sanderlin, with out reply, then 1 took out Mrs Moore’s daughter, and returning, cal'ed aeain for Sanderlin, getting this time aLmi reply, and groping my way to him dragged and pulled him to a broken window out of the water and the fresh air revived us both. I was in the forward right lower berth, my first sensation was that the windows were closing in on me, and that the car was onits left side and the water was coming in. The first effort to escape showed me that the wafer bad come up to the lower edge of the berth above me, and that my left foot was firmly bound in some way, and I felt that I was smothering, though the water did not rise any higher nor the car sink any lower. I called and yelled at the top of my voice, but heard no answer except the groans and cries from other sufferers, then I recalled my thoughts and set to work to extricate my left foot and suc ceeded. Hearing a cry from a lady Iwent to her relief, but found drat she was held dowm and all my strength could not pull her out. Feeling under the water I found that her clothing was attached to something. I tore it off and got her out. She was very weak and faint and I laid her on a cushion. I asked her name and she said she was traveling with Mrs Hix and she herself was Mrs White, from-Memphis, Tenn. As no one else responded to my call, “Does any one need help,” I pro posed to Simderlin to stay with the 3 ladies, while I should go for outside help. Bareheaded and barefooted and in night clothing I tramped to a farm house, and securing a conveyance I came to Statesville and roused the town and then returned. ANOTHER SAD STROKE. Gone to Statesville. The wife of engineer West, nee Miss Barrentine, of this city, went up the road this morning to where the re mains of her deceased husband are, who was killed in the railroad acci dent. Our citizens are painfully conscious of the fact that the hand of Divine Providence in the removal of their roost active and useful business men is upon them. To pursue this thought in all its bearings would be to occupy much space and perhaps to antagonize the views of some as to the Providence that superintends the affairs of men. In how short a space have been removed from us Jas. K. Hall, Julius A. Gray, Thos. C. Worth and Wm. M. Houston, all prominent and successful business men. Going back a little farther the list might be enlarged. The body of the late Wm. M. Houston was received here this morning at 9:20. A large crowd had collected at the depot to meet the train, and the body was placed in a hearse and borne t6 the late residence of the deceased on Clay Street. Mr. W. M. Houston was well known in this city, and as a merchant and public spirited citizen had a growing influence. He was one of the city Commissioners and a member of some of the most important committees. His judgment was fine in matters of business, and his zeal and perseverence were far above the ordinary. But in this brief reference to our deceased fellow citizen, which is not intended by any means as an obituary, there is a great—greater than all othcis —interest which claims attention. Christian men will appreciate the reference. Our deceased friend was a Christian. A t what time he experienced a change of heart is not an essential question. It is said that under the preaching of Mr. Pearson three years ago he was awakened to the necessity of a new life, and immediately set out to seek it and to live it, and that from that time he showed that he had put on the Christian armor; but it is more distinctly remembered that in the recent revival under evangelist Fife he publicly avowed that he had consecrated himself anew and fully, to the service of the Master. It was a quiet and dispassionate declaration, which he made, but one that was helpful, and ought to be remembered by all. Little did he think then how soon and how suddenly he would be called away, but now how plain that he acted a wise part. Dieary and somber is the cloud that overhangs the home and the family of our deceased friend, and there is no hand that can push it aside;but the Divine Artist whose Hand creates all beauty to mountain and field and sky, has placed a silvej- lining to that cloud, which will shine more and more unto the perfect day,” Men really wise never fail to hear that warning from the Master’s lips: Be ye ready also; for in an hour when ye think not the Son of Man cometh.” SFECIAI.
