SCHOOL. boarding 2.021 pupils Fifth peake and Ohio railroad collided with freight train on the Kentucky Centrai, doing immense damage both to human life and property. The freight depot is located in the fork made by the crossing of the abovenamed roads, making it impossible for the engineers of the different roads to see the coming trains on either of the other roads, and as the 7-o'clock train on the Chesapeake and Ohio road was pulling into this station a freight train was backing on the Kentucky Central, and, to make it doubly dangerous, the rear car of the train on the Kentucky Central was LOADED WITH BLASTING POWDER bound for Point Lick, on the Kentucky Central, where the work is going on on the Kentucky Central extension.

The engine ou the Chesapeake and Ohio struck this car broadsided, bursting it in twain and the fire from the friction ignited the powder, causing it to explode. The explosion bad the effect of an earthquake on the town, causing disbes on tables in the romotest parts to rattle and houses to shake. It threw powder cans a hundred feet into the air, making the air dense with all kinds of missiles. THE KILLED ARE: CHARLES McMICHAEL, conductor on the Chesapeake and Ohio train. He was thrown a distance of forty yards, sustaining injuries from which be died at 11 o'clock.

RANDOLPH MARTIN, conductor on the construction train. He was thrown over the depot a distance of sixty yards, and landed in the farthest part of the yard. He lived about two hours. They were the most heart-rending objects ever beheld by mortal eyes, McMichael's eyes being partly out and both being charred beyoud recognition. McMicheel died at 11 o'clock, and his "remains were taken to Lexington, his home.

Martin will be buried here. THE WOUNDED ARE: FRANK HOCKERSMITH, of Frankfort, a carpenter, terribly burned. His recovery is doubtful. CHARLES JOHNSTON, of Dublin, a carpenter for Hamilton on the new depot bere. He was burned from bead to foot, but his burns being mainly oxternal, it is thought that be will recover, although is is suffering terribly to-night.

WM. BAKER and HENRY JONES, of color, both waiters in Hawk's eatinghouse, seriously burned, but 1 it is thought that they will both recover. The wreck utterly demolished four freight cars, throwing pieces of them hundreds of yards. The west end of the new depot was completely blown away, and the bricks from it crushed into dust. Hawk eatinghouse was considerably damaged, but fortunately it did not catch on fire.

A number of persons, seeing the collision in time to take precaution, ran into the cellar before the explosion took place. This house is situated only about forty yards from the crossing. Several parties were in and about the freight depot, about the same distance off, but none of them were hurt. M'MICHAEL WAS POUND standing up after the wreck and tearing off his clothes, which were on fro, having suoceeded in getting rid of all, except a stonil remnant about his waist. watch found to-day.

He was the most popular conductor on the Chesapeake and Obio road and bad a host of friends all along the route.

THE DISASTER FULL PARTICULARS OF THE COLLISION, HOW IT HAPPENED AND THE DAMAGE IT DID. to the LEXINGTON, Aug. before 7 o'clock this morning the mixed train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, between Mt. Sterling and Lexington, Charles conductor, reached Winchester, where three cars were to be switched. ing the passenger coaches east of the switch, ran forward to the side track the three freight cars, but a tailure to throw the switch caused an advance on the main track.

To stop these detached cars and the passenger which had not been sufficiently braked, ran down on the tront part of the train. The train on the Kentucky Central track backed across the Chesapeake and Ohio line in front of the advancing engine, which, owing to the pressure behind COULD NOT BE STOPPED, in time to prevent a collision. The freman jumped off on one and gineer, after reversing lever, the otbes side. The engine struck the third car from the rear of the Kentucky Central train, which was loaded with seventy thousand pounds of blasting powder, billed to Richmond. This was turned over, broken in two and some af the powder cans being broken by the shock, their contents spilled on the track and sparks from the fast revolving wheels of the reversed engine, or from ignited the powder, causing TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
