Collision ON THE COLUMBIA RAuR0Ap.-
About 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, a seri-
Gus accident, attended with a loss Of life, and
a considerable destruction Of valuable property,
occurred on the Columbia Railroad, between
Parkesburg and Coatesvlle. The locomotive,
" Clarion" with freight train going upwards,
was approaching the station near the latter
place to take in water, when the coupling Of
part of the train broke. Twenty cars, all heavy
laden, were thus liberated, and there being
heavy downward grade, they ran down by their
own gravity with immense speed. They went
on as far the Coatesville bridge, where they
came in collision with another train which had
left Parkesburg some fifteen minutes previously.
Such was the force of the shock, that some
twelve cars were demolished and three others
were driven completely the bridge.
Two men, IN the employ of the State, were
at work repairing the road near the spot, and
not seeing the coming on the north track,
were struck by them. One of them, named
Lynn, was instantly killed. his head being sew
cred from his body. The other man, named
Patton, was seriously hurt and is not expected
to survive. 1t is stated that the men in charge
Of the cars which broke loose had left the train
and gone into the hotel at that stopping place
They were employed by the transporters, and
their conduct is highly censured. Had even
one Of them been on the train, he might have
used the break, and thus prevented the disaster.
