A MIDNICT AT THZ WAIGTIELD STATION..—AII
accident, fortunately unattended with any injury to life ar
limb, but otherwise sufficiently alartnirig, married this
(Friday) morning near the Kirkgate station of the Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire Railway. just at the junction
of that line with the West Yorkshire Railway. As
a Great Northern luggage train due about 5 o'clock
cumin from Dommter and going to Bradford, and
laden with timber. was passing through the station, are
of the trucks got off the lina and after being dragged for
about 50 yards, it overturned, and carrying with it three
other treks and breaking down the abutments of the bridge
ever the Ines road, was precipitated into the rod lieseeth.
It is samba that the logs of wood placed as they were
across two carriages must have been so fastened as to
allow of little or no play for paring curves. The
trucks which fell over were in the middle of the train,
and fortunately the sudden jerk so they ovsetureed
earned the ceopliugs to snap, or the,. is
pretabdity that more than that number would have era=
disaster. As it is the damage is of so mean amoust • what
with the mind brick work, broken carriages. and injury
to the road mid the timber. There was no delay tamed to
the gem& traffic, as the rails were unobstructed ; sad eves
the detached portion, of the train to whisk the aeriim4
banned were coupled together, and they proceeded eel
