Horrible Railroad Accident.

The morning freight train on the Syracuse
and Utica Railroad, on the morning of the
2lst ult., started from the East at o'clock,
drawn by two locomotives. When about
three quarters of mile from the depot, the
foremost locomotive, the Achilles, exploded
with terrible and disastrous consequences
The boiler exploded in the fire box. The
machinery and wood work were rent assun-
der or demolished, and the locomotive left an
almost worthless wreck. The power of the
agent of this mischief may be imagined from
the fact that the entire locomotive was lifted
from the track, and carried around so as to
lie directly across the second and parallel
track, in the opposite direction.
Israel Morgan, the engineer, was blown
into the air, and fell in the road. about one
hundred and fifty feet distant He received
the full effects o: the steam and heated water
upon his person, as it was forced through the
door of the furnace, and was undoubtedly in
stantly killed. Most of the clothes were torn
from the body, and he was terribly scalded
and burnt. The iremen was in a more for
tunate location, and, although blown some
feet TO the side Of the road, where he was
found in an insensible condition, he escap ped
with a severe scalding and bruising, which
are not considered mortal.
The report of the explosion was tremend-
Gus, and was heard at great distance Frag-
ments Of the locomotive were thrown hun
dreds Of feet, and several houses on either
side Of the street were slightly damaged by
the clapboards breaking through, windows
smashed &c
