An ExPRHss DRIVER KfLLED.-A dreadful acct

York on Tuesday evening, from horses being fright
epfd by the railroad engine resulting In the death
Of the driver. IL Ia . sad proof Of the impolcy Of
connecting carriage ways with . railroad track, and
though some accident Of the kind has BEEN looked
for We believe this is tho first fatal ono that has
occurred. The company, We believe, some time
since contemplated removal Of the carriage way
from the track between the Hackeusack bridge and
Bergen HILL and We hope this painful accident will
induce them to cause the separation 90 long de-
sired, TO be made at once. Al II il, those driving
horses Of ordinary spirit are compelled TO abandon
the turnpike, rather than run the risk Of encoun-
tering tho trains ut 30 dangerous point. The
driver Of one Of Fairs express wagons. named
Stephen Crane. He was coming from New York
on Tuesday evening, and whom near the Bergen
junction with the Erie road the horses became
frightened at IN approaching train and started or
upsotting the wagon, which was heavily loaded,
and the unfortunate man was killed BY roll OF
lead, which fell upon his chest, crushing him hor
riby. The driver Of another wagon immediately
FASTENED TO his asstanc and carried him ITO the
road side, where he expired in few minutes. Mr..
Fair, the owner Of the wagon, We understand, was
in the train coming from New York, and saw the
accident, and his agents state that no requested
the conductor to sacken the train 70 that he could
see the result but the conductor refused, and Mr..
s.. came TO this city, whence he Immediately 70.
