COLLISION ON TEI GRZAT NORTHERN RAIL.
WAY.—Yesterday morning a collision took place on the
Great Northern Railway, at Grantham. The disaster im-
mured with two Manchester goods' traits laden with valu-
able merchandise. consisting of tea, silks, be. One of the
trains left Peterborough at 12.30, and the other at 12.50.
The latter train ran into the former at fall speed while
@banding at G mothain station, and the form of the collision
was terrific. ea the train was travelling at the rate of between
thirty and forty miles an hour. Twelve trucks were com-
pletely smashed up, and both the up and down liner were
literally strewn with tea. One truck was cut clean in two,
each half standing some distatme from the other on
two wheels. The driver of the 12.50 train, named Guest,
sad the fireman were so seriously injured that their recovery
despaired of. The break down gang from Peterborough
wee telegraphed for, and promptly arrived, and, trader the
superintend/nos of Mr. Dance, the district agent, and Mr.
Baer' and Mr. Budge, the engineers, one line was cleared for
traffic. Great delay was of necessity occasioned in the
traffic, but towards the end of the day the line was again
Neared. As to the cause of the disaster nothing is known,
for the two men who alone can explain it are so much in-
jured that no statement can be obtained from them. There
is a clear reach, so that they must have seen the train into
which they were running. It is, therefore, supposed that
the driver had lost all comm►nd of his engine. The damage
done to property is very peat.
