Killed aud a gunaer Mouudeii. A rery serious aooident occurred last night at Lamokin junction, a station on the P. W. k B. Railroad about two miles south of Chester, iu whioh one man was killed aud a dose t injured, some of them seriously. The unfor tnuate man that was killed, and the most that wore injured were riding in the smoking car at the time of the The following appesto to was accident. be the correct detaiia of the accident: The Delaware train left Philadelphia at the usual time 5.If p. m., with its usual complement of passengers. It reached Chester all right on time and started for Wilmington nst intending to stop at Lamokin jnuot'on unless there was a signal. There being no signal to stop the train it was about going byjat its usual rate of speed when saddenly the engine, instead of keeping the main track, veered to the right and plunged in on the Baltimore Central track whioh there forms a junoi'ou with the P W. & B. railroad. The evening train from the Baltimore Central was ready to move on to Phila delphia as soon as the Delaware train had passed by. It instantly flashed upon the minds of the train men that there must be a collision as the Balti more Central {rain stood nqt more than 75 feet away. Almost in an instant the twe engines came together, aud worn completely smashed in and the Baltimore Central train started backward on Its track. A scene of iudesjrlbabic confusion en sued and the cries and groaning of wounded men were mixed with the crashing of timbers, the rattling jingle of broken panes of glass and lamps, and the hissing of escaping stesm from the two disabled engines. The baggage mall and smoking cars were thrown from the track by the concussion and went thumping over the ties until the train spent its force and came to a stand still. Under the circumstances a tele scoping of the oars could not be avoided but fortunately this was confined to the baggage aud smoking oar, aud fortun ately again, the rear end of the bag gage car telescoped baok through the smoking car with the roof so far above the heads of th» passengers that they ail escaped carious injury from that cause. Had the roof of the baggage car came ba 1. a foot lower serious loss of life must have ensued. By the force of the collision most of tile passengers la the smoking car were thrown to the floor. The only person killed by the accident was John Fiiun, a carpenter en the road, who had just finished a job at Philadelphia and yyas returning t» his home in this city, at No. 600 Pine street. At the time of the accident he was sitting on the front seat warming himself at the stove. When the two cars telescoped he was caught between the timbers aud terribly hurt. There wa3 a great gash across his temple aud a terrible hole in his breast, near the shoulder. As of - at by m he a the the its his breast, near the shoulder. As soon as possible after the accident and the passengers began to collect their scat tered senses, the mangled man was taken out ami carried into the second story of tho depot Building, where he diel iu a lew minutes. This was the only case that had to be taken from the smoking car, all the others being able to help themselves aud get out of the oar either by tire rear door or by break ing the glass cut of a window and creeping through the apertures. Amongst others in the smoking car were James U. Crippen, C. 8. Middle ton, El ward Ruin ford, James Monaghan. William G. Peunypaoker and Nathan L. Jaouey, of this city; William Polk ef Odessa and A. U. Silver of Red Lion. Mr. Pslk is a member of the I,evy Court axil Mr. Silver an ex-member though still acting and they had been in I'hil atelpia purchasing furniture for the new Court House. Of the gentlemen named Messrs. Polk aud James It. pp«n Were considerably bruised and out hut not seriously. Mr. Crippeu had just slightly risou iu his Seat to talk to a gentleman be hind Pirn wlieu the roof of the baggage oar came crushing through and knocked his hat off. The first intimation he uad of danger was the crash, and then he fel las seat giving way beneath : 1111 Feeling the pressure of heavy timbers above him he drew himself closely between the seats. What must have been a few seconds to him, an iudofiuito space of time, between the first shock and the cessation of tho noise, as of a car ruuuiog^heavily over the ties. Iu this brief moment a great critdhiag ot timber was going on above him and his first thought was of daug er from the stove whioh had been burn i ' ing btfurn the crath, and whioh wan likely to ignite the wreck. By the as aiatanoe of a passeuger who had beeu ou tbe Beat to the re nr of him, the tim bers were bo lifted ai to enable him to kick a hole in the window, through which he crawled,minus hat, overcoat,, nmholla and overshoes. Th«*se things, he said, wore afterwards recovered. Messrs. Polk ami Silver had been flitting together autil the train reached Chester, when Mr. Polk took a seat with rieriok Shalloross, and wa* con versing with him at the time of the shuck. Mr. Silver saved himself by stooping, anti Mr. Polk was struck over the head and very severely iujnr ed. Mr. Silver tells of the nffuir to a Re publican reporter as follows: Mr. Polk aud myself had been to Philadelphia purchasing furniture for the now oourt house, and was riding in the smoking oar in the thiidseat from the front the right hand side. Just after we had passed Chester Mr. Polk went back iu the oar to speak to Mr. Seriok bhall oross, and was talking to him when the accident occurred, oarno he instinctively put himsalf his guard, and when he saw the tim bers f the teleaopiug cars orashtog in on him he suddenly sank to the floor and possibly avoided being badly in jured. Only his prtseuce of mind, saved him. He was fastened in he-'were tween two seats, and was helped np by Mr. W. G. Pennypaokar ef Wilmingt-j and they toft tke oar together thron ;li a window. They had great "iffiou ty in finding their overooati and hats aud did all they conld to aid the snff* ing passengers. on When the crash VV. 0. Pennypacker, of this o!'y,| was also In the oar. He had * vo-y narrow esospe. He had been sitting by tbe stove warming his feet and had gotten up for some unexplained rev son. As ho vaoated the seat, John Flinn, the man who was killed, took it and was sitting there when the crash came. Mr. Middleton rat a little to the rear of the middle ot the smoking ear when the crash took place. The roof of the baggage oar came baok in suoh close proximity to his head that his hat was knocked off though his head was lean ing on the baok of the seat. Had the roof been two or three inches lower Ur. M. could not hare escaped with his an be to a ite ont ly the by lor, life. The most serious accident next to the killing of Mr. Fliun, occurred in the baggage oar whioh created suoh liavoo in the smoking car. Harry Morris, a young married man residing at 820 Madison street, was baggage master in the car and was taken out with bis thigh broken and otherwise seriously injured. It is suppose d that a heavy trunk thrt was thrown upon Mr. Morris broke his thigh. Mr. Bnooh Crouch, mail a?ent was hurled beneath the stove and a water cooler. George Herd the messenger in the oar was badly hurt. Charles Al len the engineer and John Baerenger the fireman are both badly but not seriously hurt. Frank Paris and John MoClo.key, engineer aud fireman of the Balt more Central train, had narrow escapes but none on the train were hurt. The accident was caused by the Bwitch tender neglecting to turn the switch. Me wrong his hands and was in the greatest distress over the result of his carelessness. The switch had bees left open to let out the Baltimore Central accommodation train for Phila delphia, which was to have left 4 min utes after the Delaware train had gone by. George W. Green, the conductor of the Delaware train, who lives at No. 502 West Thirteenth street,- says that he was about half way through the ladies' first car when he felt the first shock. The seooad ebook coming im mediately after, ho was thrown vio lently down, cutting hid hand and oth erwise injuring himself. He got up and everything was in oontusion. No one in the ladies' oir was hurt, but upon going ont he found ? the two preceding cars badly'wreckedi ^ and wounded people Scrambling ont. K After he had got the people ont he at , once went to work on tho traok, and in * 08 a short time had the two F. W. A B. Co.'s tracks cleared. Said he: It is remarkable to me how it was that so 1 *' °? jected same uel of nally being many passengers in the smoking car escaped. 1 crawled in there to look for the missing and found that the roof ot the baggage car had, yon might say, glanced over the top ef the seats, and with veloeity enough to have killed instantly any one whose head wae in its track. He supposed the switchman had its track. He supposed the switchman had forgotten the Delaware traiu en tirely, in waiting for the accomo dation to go, aud had his attention drawn from the traiu coming down the main line. It took hut little time for the news of the accident to spread throughout tlie city, and soon the offioe of N. W. Gookin and other officials were hedg ed by anxious inquirers, some of whom were relatives of the trainmen, and others friends or relatives of the passengers. Tbe first train that arriv ed south from the scene of tho disaster was the 7 30 Baltimore traiu. The passengers of the Delaware traiu came ou this, aud were taken down the pen insula by a train mada up in this oity. This traiu brought also with it the woonded engineer, aud others who were hurt. The traiu a half-hour lat ter brought baggage master Morris. They were taken to their respective homeT. John Flinn, the rasn who was killed, was taken to Chestpr, and is in the hands of undertaker Min3hall. Aa inquest will be held ever him to day. after which he will be brought to his home in this oity. As near as oan be ascertained, the following Is a list ef the killed aud in jured : John Flian, aged 45 years, 000 Pine street, Wilmiugten, killed.

Fr,m #ur Stuff Uerres .omleiit. Lorca, Jan. 4_The joint committee of the two houses, a[ pointed to consid er the advisability ot funding the State debt, held a cou'arence last night which did not term nate until a late hoc. The committee was very unanimous in a favorable consideration of the plan, and the meeting was quite harmoni ous. It was decided definitely to pre sent a bill, and this will be drawn np and read a first time, sometime xext week. Tbt question embraced in the propo sition to fund the debt is a very deli cate one, and great care will have to be taken in the preparation of the bill. The impression Is that the debt will be funded into bonds bearing 4 per cent, interest, payable in 10 or 12 years, but with the option reserved by the State to pay the whale amount and cancel the bonds after 5 years, if that can be done, and the taxation reduced in proportion to the reduction of the debt. of The House went into session this morning at 9 o'clock, aud a joint reso lution Was introduced aud adopted, ad journing the Legislature until Monday next, at 3 o'clock. - Mr. Van Burkalow introduced a res olution refusing to accept any business after Monday, February 21st.
