THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT
ON THE LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY.
(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
On Monday afternoon at five o'clock au accident occurred
'on the above line of railway, the result of which was almost
instant death to one of the passengers, and serious injury to
several more. A :mixed train left the Preston station at 4
o'clock for Lancaster; at the Bay Horse station (about six
miles from Lancaster) it stopped to let passengers down.
Whilst the station keeper and guard were engaged in remov-
ing luggage, to the dismay of all, a train was seen approach-.
ing on the same line at a truly fearful rate. This train
proved to be the express train, which leaves London at 9
o'clock in the morning, and which was then nearly two hours
after its time. As soon as the engine-driver on the Lan-
caster train saw the approach of the express he immediately
put all steam to get out of the way, but before he could
attain any speed the express came up and dashed right
into the hinder carriages. Four carriages were completely
dashed to pieces, and the wonder is how any of the passen-
gers escaped. An engine immediately went forward to Lan-
caster for surgeons, and on their arrival it was found, that
although many were much injured, there was only one killed
—a woman of the name of Edmondson, from Poulton-le-
Sands, near Lancaster. Two men received compound frac-
tures of the skull, and now lie in the House of Recovery at
Lancaster in a hopeless condition. Mrs. Yates, of Lan-
caster, had her face much cut, and her collar-bone broken.
A Miss Bland, of the same place, received several injuries.
The number of the injured amounts to between ten and
twelve, but at present it is impossible to tell the exact
amount. When the engine-driver and stoker on the
express train saw what would inevitably happen they
jumped off and escaped unhurt. Mr. William Jackson, of
Lancaster, one of the directors of the Lancaster and
Preston Railway, was in the express train at the time, and
leaped out unhurt. Mrs. Edmondson, who was killed, had
in her arms at the time a lovely little boy about four years
old, who received no injury whatever. If there be any
blame it is not known as yet to whom it is attached, but
doubtless a searching inquiry will be instituted. This is
the first collision that has occurred on the Lancaster and
Preston Railway during the ten years it has been opened
and has cawed a deal of excitement in the neighbourhood
Mr. Beckett, tea-dealer, of Lancaster, had a marvellous
escape. He was in one of the second-class carriages that
was smashed to pieces. He fell through the bottom of the
carriage when it parted, and escaped without even a mark
of injury.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RICHMOND
BRANCH RAILWAY.—Last evening Mr. W. Payne held an
inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of Frederick
Gant, aged 29, a guard on the Richmond branch of the
South-Western Railway. The particulars of the accident
were stated in our columns yesterday. The jury returned a
verdict that the deceased died from the injuries received, but
in what manner they were occasioned, there was no evidence
to show:
