A SMASH ON THE MORRIS AND ESSEX
RAILROAD.

As the Friday morning train which leaves New
York at o'clock for Hsckettstown was rounding
curve short distance above the Rockaway Station,
COW was discovered on the track but 80 near that 1t
was impossible to stop before striking the animal.
The locomotive dragged the COW several rods, when
by seme means she was thrown under the wheels
Of the CARS The engine, baggage-csT, and forward
pass.neer-car remained on the track uninjured, but
the second psssenger.csr was thrown off, and its
wheels twisted 10 such manner es to rip up the door
into kindlng wood The seats were thrown into per-
fec, confusion, and some of them had fallen nearly
through the bottom of the There were several
passengers in this car and yet strange to say not ono
of them received serious injury. One lady had been
dropped off the seat and when the train stopped
she vas seaed the splintered floor, and her feet
rested on the ground. The in the rear OF this was
also seine what damaged, and thrown of the track.
This part Of the country has large tracts OF unfeaced
lands and it also has great many families 10 which
tie COW is an essential possession. For this reason
great numbers OF cattle pasture in the commons, en-
daDgerrg the lives of passengers because the raroad
is Lot fenced. This road has been remarkably well
conducted and it pays well, but its managers have
refused to fence it, especially in dangerous localities
A number of times cattle have been killed in the
vicinity of this accident, and the Company have
also received damage Poor people have been exas-
persted at the loss of their cows. The damage by
this tInash would fence this dangerous place. II
is TO be hoped that this really enterprising Company
will study its own interests and not put the lives Of its
patrons in danger for want of safeguard so cheapy
TO be had. The Company must fence their road in
this vicinity, or risk accidents not likely to be
safe as this has fortunately proved 10 be.
