The REV. JOHN ALFRED, Beaver Falls, Penn.; scalp wound and face injured.
The REV. R. H. PORTER, Detroit, Mich.; injured in face and leg.
Two of the above are reported dead, but the railroad officers have received no information of any more deaths. Superintendent PITCAIRN, of the Pennsylvania Road, did all in his power to have the wounded properly cared for. In speaking of the accident, he said: "It is one of those things that Providence keeps us from so often. The accident speaks for itself, and shows that the freight train was not running fast, or more cars would have been wrecked. It was unavoidable. The cause that has been given for the accident is a broken axle."
DALE B. GRAHAM was for many years connected with the press of this city, and was a general favorite. He was engaged to be married to MISS ANNIE BARBOUR, of Denver, Col. When he met his death he was on his way home with the expectation of departing for Denver in a few days to be married. MISS BARBOUR is said to be lying seriously ill at her home from the shock of her lover's sudden taking off.
CHARLES E. MORRELL was a stationer of this city, doing business at 874 Fourth avenue and living at 55 East Fifty-third street. He was traveling in the interest of his establishment at the time of the accident. MR. MORRELL was a native of Elmira, N. Y., and 38 years of age. He came to this city 10 years ago and married into the family of R. H. BECKWITH. He leaves one child, a boy of 4 years. His body will be brought to this city to-day by his relatives in Elmira.
