| "a a.--sAa accident occurred "a The New Haven
| pallpoad ON Wednesday afternoon. which resulted
/ in the serious injury of number OF persona al
though fortunately no lives were lost. The three
o'clock accommodat' on train from New York,
consisting of five cars, had arrived within about
two miles of New Rochelle, when the brake Of
the car next to the last broke and heshock was
such as 20 separate the three hindmcst cars from
those in front. Two Of the cars detached were
thrown off the track, and one OF them turned up
side down. The other was also much broken,
and wrenched across the track. So soon as those
who We're uninjured recovered from the shock,
! they proceeded to the relief Of those who were
less fortunate.
The locomotive and two cars, which had gone
on to the distance Of nearly mile before the
accident was discovered by the engineer, also re-
turned with the passengers to aid the sufferers,
many OF whomit was thought were killed. Upon
examination, however, it was discovered that not
a single life had been lost Ii is truly wonder
ful that the results We're not more calamitous

We have derived most of the facts above
mentioned from eye witnesses. The New Ha-
ven Journalo Of this morning. says, that it learned
from persons on the late train from New York,
that one Of the injured passengers, Miss Miller
of Mass, is dead
The wounded were taken forward to New
Rochelle, where they were provided with beds
at a hotel, and medical attendance was promptly
procured. Dr. Haighf and another physician
from Stamford. and three medical gentlemen
who were fortunately inthe cars at the time,
are aiding those resident at the place IN giving
every attention to the sutferrss. 1t may be mpor-
tant for those who had fiiends travelling in this
train to know that no one was injured among
those seated in the last, and first two cars. We
trust that rigid investigations will be made into
the causes Of this accident, and that the blame
will be made to rest in the proper quarter.
