EAuEuAb ACcIDEST.-The AIbahy Eve ning- Juusnal gives;tlle following Account Ot m accident 0n the Utica aud SchCncctady Ra ilroad. s& 3 's The Western tFain'nOt having arrived at Schenectady atithe proper time on Fri day, d special train, consisting of a lOcomo- five, tender and a few empty passenger. cars, was despatched from Schenectady westward. A few miles west from that place the two trains met. Fortunately for the lives of the passengers, the trains were in sight of each other some few moments before the collision. The engineers of each train instantly shut off steam, reversed the action, and leapcd from their respective machines. This well timd precaution dcadened the specd,and the collision, though tremendous, was not as great as 1t would otherwise have bccn. The engine tender and passenger cars going west were utterly demolished,as also were the engine, tender, baggage and post office cars of !he train coming east Providentially, none of the passenger cars-in this last train were injur- ed in the least. Two hundred and fifty passengers were in these cars, and their es. cape can only be regarded as miraculous The detention of the western train was oc- casioned by the loss of an hour at Buffalo, in taking on eighty passengers from the
 
 train was about leaving. Another hour was lost on the passage between that place and U,ica, and the train did not leave the latter place for Albany until l2 l-4 o'clock yester- day. Just previous to the collision, this train was going at speed of twenty miles per hour. We learn that Mir. Young, the Superintendent. was over p ersuaded, much against his own wishes, to send out the train for the west" .'.
