Yesterday afternoon an accident happened on
the London and North Western Railway at Wolverhamp-
ton, which occasioned personal Injuries to some thirty per-
sons. The third-class train which lessee Liverpool at 7.15
a.m. was a quarter of an hour late on arriving at Stafford.
On account of this delay an engine that usually leaves the
died of this company near to the Bushbury junction at
Wolverhampton to take up a train at the passenger station.
was not allowed to pass the Bushbury junction at the
customary hour. At 12.45 the Liverpool train had duly
arrived at the ticket platform of the Wolverhampton
station, and the officers had scarcely commenced to collect
the tickets, when an alarm was raised that a collision was
inevitable. The collectors left the carriages, closed the
doors, and the engine and tender that had been kept wait-
leg at the Buabbury junction came up at a speed of about
eight or ten miles an hour, and ran into the rear of the train,
which was a very long one. The force of the collision
shattered the end and sides of the ward's break van, and
materially damaged two third-clue carriage; which were
next to it. These carriages were weU filled with passengers,
I 31 of whom received injuries which required immediate
surgical attention. Of these, five were conveyed to the
South Staffordshire Hospital in Wolverhampton. Tbey

to the stomach. Two of the injured persons who were con-
ve)ed to the hospital have since left ; and excepting the two
who are now there, and Mrs. Hinton, the remainder, after
having had their injuries attended to by surgeons
sent for from Wolverhampton end Birmingham,
proceeded to their destinations or returned home the same
afternoon. No bones h►ve been broken, and it is not ex-
pected that any deaths will result. John Oliver, the
driver of the engine that ran into the train, le understood
to confess that he alone was at fault; for the auxiliary or
distance signal, which is 800 yards from the ticket platform,
sad can be seen a mile away, was "against him." He is
understood to have been at the time on the wrong side of his
engine, and thus to have had his view intercepted by the
funnel of the engine.
