FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL RAILWAY
ACCIDENT.

A shocking and fatal accident occurred hat Wed-
sudsy night en the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln.
shire line, to a great Northern passenger-train, whisk runs
twice a-day from the Retrofit Junction to Skaffield. The
traits in question left the Sheffield station at ten Lames
past tains, in order to suet the mail train at Raiford at
ten. Whoa about a male front the Woodhouse Station, and
about four miles and a quarter from Sheffield, the engine
went off the line, as it was paring over the curve of an
embankment, which is 32 feet at its highest part. The
I stavement of William Lee, the stoker, is as follows
perceived nothing wrung until we ran off the rails. The
engine ran off the up line, after tearing up about eighty
yards of both rails, when by a jerk she ran serose the
down line, tearing some of the rails up there, and then
fell over the embankment on the down or south side of
the line. The carriages, break, and goods carriages
were thrown down the embankment on the up or north
; side of the line. By the engine going off on the other
I side of the line, the electric wires were broken down by
! the chimney. When we got to the bottom of the em-
bankment, I found myself under the engine, and crept
out between the driving-wheel and one of the others. I
' looked around, but could see neither guard nor driver. I
afterwards saw Gosling, one of the passenger., but I was
60 affected with being scalded and stunned that I searcely
knew what I was shout I then determined to go to the
Woodhouse Junction, but instead of doing so, by mistake
took the road to Shi Mehl, whither I ran, as fast as I was
able, all the way. On arriving there I procured the pilot
engine belonging to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
'him Midway, and again proceeded to the spot. When we
got there some omties bad dug pour Wright, the engine.
driver, out, and rarefied him away to the Woodhouse
Junction; he had been found under the engine completely
embedded in the sand. I proceeded to Woodhouse Junc-
tion. and there saw Wright, with both his legs burnt to •
cinder. Ile had been smmhed down under the firebox.
When I found Tuckercod, the guard, he was apparently
sitting compomilly a' the bottom of the embankment, but
quite dead. Ile exhibited no 'sternal signs of Minty.
here were four passengers, I think—one list-class, and the
other three second-class. I myself am considerably scalded
abuse the head, flee. and arm, bat I hope not very seriously
so. We had left Sheffield about twenty or twenty-live
minute*.

John Gosling, police-constable, of Retford, has tarnished
the booroster Gazette with the following pmficulars:—He
I left the Sheffield station last night by the Great
Northern train, at a little after nine o'clock. We same on
(or some minutes at a good speed, when I heard a kind of
cracking noise—track after crack. I bed just time to say
to my it'llOW passenger, ' Whit can he the matter ?' when
I we found ourselves topsy-turvy, and going down we knew
not whither. Ultimately we stripped with the carriage
laid on one side. We were considerably shaken, but I
cannot say how often the carriages went over. When we
recovered we tried to get out, but could only dole) by break-
ing the glass of the woullw with an umbrella. On getting
out we could see nothing, for it was very dark, and we
shouted out, but received no answer until we got on to the
top of the embankment, where we found Lee, the stoker,
who told as to keep off, for he expected that the engine
boiler would burst every minute; and he also said
that there was another train due from Retford. He
then took off and eon on the line, but I believe he
did not know which road he was going—whether to
Sheffield or the Woodhouse Junction. I then directed
two of the passengers to proceed towards the Junction
to stop the train which was due from Retford. I remained
on the spot for some time by myself (as I thought), mad
kept calling nut, end ultimately found the fourth passenger,
who complained of being shaken, and of his fingers being
cut, but I told him not to mind his fingers. Seeing • light
in the distance we went in the direction and found it to be
the residence of Mr. Smith, solicitor, who kindly furnished
us with matches, candles, &c., and accompanieu us to the
spot. We then found a lamp, which we lighted, and on
looking round found the guard dead, in a kind of sitting
position. I frit his arm, but it was cold, and had not the
slightest pulsation. One of the buffers was pressed against
his cheat, and his back was jammed against a wheel or
corner of another carriage. We tried but could not release
him. We then went to the engine on the other side of
the line, and found the driver with his legs under the
fire-box. He was sensible, and begged of us to lift it (the
engine) up; we tried to release him but found we could not.
We then sent for some assistance to dig him out, which
loon arrived, and I e was got cht and taken to the Wood-
house Junction Inn. I then took the lamp and went to-
wards Darnell, and lighted onelamp on the road, and got the
other lamps lighted at Darnell. I waited there until the
pilot engine arrived from Sheffield, and went with it again
to the plus. When we got back poor Tuetwood was in
the same but Wright had been taken to the inn at
the W Jimmies'. A surgeon arrived shortly after-
wards, bet preweereoll Tisekwood to be dead. The station
master at the Weettleme issaetion behaved most kindly
towards the whole et ley sad did everything in his power
to alleviate the ealteriege at bath Wright and Lee."
The Doestrier Obi Meese that Samuel Wright, the
driver, had previessly bees employed on the trains run-
=between Deemator and Teek, but was only on Wed-
y last removed to work the trains between Sheffield
sod Reared. He was not so perfectly acquainted with the
rood as those who had been on this line. The permanent
way has long been a subject of complaint by the engine-
drivers, which, added to the feet that this portion of the
line has several severe curves, required the exercise of
more than ordinary care in order to insure the safety of the
trains.
