,ver ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF the ACCIDENT.
One of the reporters of Philadelphia, wi
=, was sent TO the scene Of disaster, gives the 10
k of lowing account of the accident:
The train of cars which left Philadelphia
Ella ten o'clock, consisting of five passenger car
ead baggage car and locomotive, had reached Blu
and ngton just before / / O'Clock. Ii then stol
the ped, waiting for the arrival of the o'cloc
ody New York train from jersey CITY, which pas
es at this place After waiting for from five
lty, ten minutes, and the New York train not al
the pearing, the Philadelphia train went forwaI
one slowly, watching for the approach ofthe dowr
ice ward train. 1t had gone forward about mi
and quarter, when the New York train can
ark in sight. The whistle for the breaks and
lju- reverse the engine was blown, and the Phila
Ter. delpbia train commenced backing, and soon q
under rapid headway for Burlington again. !
mer this reverse movement the passenger cars, uSl
AN ally placed behind and coming after the loco
d IS motive, were now in front, and pushed forwar
He by the locomotive. The engineer being wit
the locomotive, of course had not the advar
ent tage of seeing what was ahead Of the backward
ical going train. He had run but a quarter of
was mile, and mile from Burlington, when th
to first passenger car came in collision with
Iur- light pleasure wagon. driven by DIR. Hannegar
OF Columbus, New Jersey, who attempted
oft, cross the track in front of the cars
