SERIOUS RAILROAD AccIDENr.-An accident oc-
Cured on the N. Jersey Railroad Wednesday night
about ten o'clock, which will probably result in
the death of one more of the passengers A
number of Rechabites from Newark and Rah-
way, proceeded on an excursion to New Bruins
wick, and on their return, miscreant among
them drew out the bolt that connected the loco
motive and the cars When it was discovered
the engine was considerably ahead of the cars,
and the passengers crowded to the platforms and
called on the engineer to hold on. The conduc-
tor jumped from the cars and seeing what the
matter was, directed the engineer to 90 ahead as
last as ne could or thelocomotivs would be dashed
TO pieces by the cars, the grade of the road IN
tnat place was on declivity of twenty-seven feet
to me mile The engineer did as directed, but
the cars neverthe less Numbered on and overlook
the locomotive A tremendous crash was the con
sequence, which broke the platforms of two of
the cars into splinters, and seriously INJURED onr
passengers One man named Ward had bh,J, b;s
legs broken and three others were also ss,o,,sl,.
injured. No punishment is too great for ,I,a -
creant who caused tins amentabIe accident No
blame OF course can be attached to th. ra;,rnad
