10 the serious injury Of = number 81 psesops, al
though fortunately no lives wsse lest The three
o'clock accommodation train from New York.
consisting Of five carr, had arrived within about
two miles Of New Rochelle, when the brake Of
the car next to the last broke and the shock was
such ~ to separate the three hindmost cars from
those in front. Two Of tho cara detached were
thrown of the track and one Of them turned up
side down. The other was also much broken,
aud wrenched across the track. So soon ~ those
who were unnjueed recovered from the shock.
they proceeded to the relief Of those who were
less fortunate.
The locomotive and two cars, which had rons
on to the distance Of nearly mile before the
accident was discovered by the engineer, also re-
turned with the passengers to aid the sufYersrs,
many of whom it was thought were killed. Upon
examination, however, it was discovered that not
single life had been lost. 1t 10 truly wonder
ful that the results were not more calamitous.
The following list is said to embrace all who
are known to have been injured
Mrs. Andrews, of Cleveland, Ohio, one arm
broken.

We have derived most of the facts above
mentioned from eye witnesses. The New Ha-
ven Journal 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 we're taken forward to New
Rochelle, where they were provided with beds
at a hotel, and medical attendance was promptly
procured. DR.. Haight and another physician
from Stamford, and three medical gentlemen
who were fortunately in the cars at the time,
are aiding those resident at the place in giving
every attention to the suferrss. 1t may be impor-
tant for those who had friends travelling in this
train to know that no one was injured among
those seated in the last, and frat two cars. We
trust that rigid investigation will be made into
the causes of this accident and that the blame
will be made to rest in the proper quarter.
