Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, an
accident, white occasioned considerable alarm among the
panesagere travelling by the train which leaves Birming-
ham at 12.20 p.m., and dee at Euston-square at 3.50,
occurred about midway between Marrow and Sudbury. At the
More mentioned it appears that a ballast train was proceed-
ing at a slow pace on the up line. Soon afterwards a second
(coal) train was approaching in the same direction, and the
driver, seeing the danger, immediately turned off the
steam of the engine to allow the first to advance. While
the second traits was at • standstill a third "luggage" made
its appearance and dashed with considerable violence into
the one before it, completely throwing Revers' of the trucks
on to the up passenger line. At this juncture, there having
been no time to signal the danger, the passenger train
from Birmingham came up sod a collision took place
between that aired the shattered trucks lying across the
line. The driver and stoker belonging to the passenger train
escaped unhurt by jumping from their engine ; but Jacob
Heine, the guard at the end of the train, was much shaken
Wed injured, though enabled to proceed to his home.
Walter Sharp, the guard in front of the train, escaped with
slight braises. The moment the accident took place a tele-
gram was sent to London for assistance, and Mr. Meyers's,
the superintendent, and a staff of men from the locomotive
I
• department proceeded to the soene. The greatest alarm was felt
• by the passengers, among whom only four cease of personal
iojory are reported, and with the exception of one instance
i —that of a lady travelling in a first-class compartment,
who had most of her front teeth forced out—the injuries
are not of a serious nature. Two gentlemen were taken to
the Victoria Hotel, Euston-square, and remained there
during the night. The other sufferer, a gentleman, was
taken home ort his arrival in London. The delay caused by
the collision to the down-train did not exceed more
than an hour ; but some time elapsed ere the line was suffi-
ciently -dear to admit of the " up " traffic.
