Junction
evening. From what we have been able
to learn it appears that the express downtram, which
leaves Bristol shortly after 8 p.m., was delayed at
the Weston Junction in consequence of some portion
of the engine-gear being out of order. To effect the
repair of this it was found necessary to stop at the
junction a short time, and whilst there the ordinary
short train from Bristol toWeston-super-Mare, which
leaves the former place about 15 minutes after the•
departure of the express, ran into the express, which
consisted of three carriages only. The last of these
(a first-class carriage) was ploughed up to the top
of the short train engine. The first compartment of
this carriage was entirely smashed, and it was a
miracle that all the passengers were not instantly
killed by the shock caused by the collision. The
platform on either side of the station was covered by
the debris, as was also, in many places, the line it-
self. Intelligence of the catastrophe was at once for-
warded to Weston-super-Mare, and the station mas-
ter (Mr. Fraser) and several gentlemen and officials
at once proceeded to the spot. The passengers, the
majority of whom sustained considerable injuries,
were lying in all the waiting-rooms, and the sight of
some poor ladieswho were more severely injured than
the others, was truly pitiable. Several surgeons are
in attendance, and steps have been taken to remove
the disabled passengers to Weston-super-Mare, and
place them under medical care. The roof of the junc-
tion is torn to atoms in many parts and the signal wires
thereabouts quite destroyed. The most severe inju-
ries are in the case of two ladies, one of whom, we
understand, has sustained a fracture Of the collar-
bone, and the other received such severe contusions
as to cause a broken leg. The majority of the pas-
sengers, it appears, though much knocked about,
are not seriously injured beyond contusions on the
head and face. The lady whose leg is broken is
said to be a Mrs. Jessop, of Ruishton, near Taun-
ton, who is well known in Weston-super-Mare.—
