BALLsTos Pa. Jul, q, l645
An affair occurred yesterday. on the
railroad between Troy and Ballston,
which alarmed most OF the passengers,
and il is truly miraculous that II did NOT
prove fatal 10 many Of them. About five
miles from BaIlston, and between Troy
and BaIIsro1, the forward ear ran otl the
track. This had the effect of breaking
a bar of the flat iron Of Ihe road. about
eighl feel long, and throwing il tIIro "h
the trout door Of the rear car with
lociy thai oud have proved fatal to any
whom il might have struck. itwas sharp
pointed, aud made a hnl e through The trout
door like bulel. and went down the
middle passage way without injuring any
body.
Ii erazed the shoulder of a gentleman
sitting on The front seat aside of Judge
Willard Of the Fourth Circuit, and cut
his coat sleeve without doing him any
other injury. Judge Va"derpool, of New
York, aud his family, occupied the seals
uext 10 Judge Willard and the gentleman
hose shoulder was gfazed. aud narro" ly
escaped. The bar must have weighe
from GU TO so pounds, and sharp as il was
at The point, would have instantly killed
any body it might have hit in mortal
parl. 1t is, indeed. 10 be lamented that
ha bars were ever laid upon any of our
rail roads. Smoke heads and heavy sharp
pointed bars of iron. flying with hullei
speed. are not the most agreeable things
ar passengers 10 encounter.
