COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—An acci-
dent of a serious character occurred on the Midland
Railway, between Brightside and Sheffield, yesterday.
The mail train from the North to Sheffield left Masbro'
in the morning, and the driver found upon approaching
Sheffield that a heavy goods train was in front. The
rails were so greasy that the goods train could not get
on, and the mail train could render no assistance. In
this dilemma the two drivers agreed to work " single
line," which is always a dangerous experiment. The
guard of the goods train told his driver to detach his
engine and go on to Sheffield, and acquaint the signal-
men and pointamen with the state of things. This the man
did, but he then returned on the other line with his engine,
in order to pilot the mail train. Unfortunately, the driver
of the mail had crossed at a point behind the goods, and
was coming up to Sheffield on the down line, along which
the goods engine was returning. Both were going at a
pretty smart rate, and neither saw the other until they
were so near that a collision was unavoidable. The en-
gines ran into each other with groat force, and both were
seriously damaged. Two of the passengers in the mailbe
train were hurt, one of them so much so that he had. to
removed to the Sheffield Infirmary. The engines were
complete wrecks.
