THE COLLISION ON THE CONNECTICUT RIVER
RAILRoAD.-The Springfield Republican gives
the following account of the personal injuries
sustained by the collision on the Connecticut
River Railroad, intelligence of which was received
yesterday. 1t occurred at a curve in the road
near Chicopee, where it Is impossible to see the
track for any considerable distance aheal on ac.
count of an embankment. The force Of the col
lsion broke up all the seats in the passenger car
and SO interlocked the two locomotives that an
other engine was required to separate Them
" Seth Hunt of Northampton, assistant treas
urer of the road, was sitting in the passenger car
near the stove, which was led hot, and by the

thought to be badly injured. Edwin Phillips of

the Gay he bled considerably from The nose and
ears, and also vomited blood. There are fears
lest he may not recover from his injuries. John

was employed on the road as a track repairer,
was also in the baggage car with Phillips, and
had his back broken, and was otherwise shock
ingly bruised; he was removed to the residence
OF his friends in Chicopee. where he died at II
o'clock. He was twenty-eight or thirty years OF
age, and had no family. hese were the only

nearly all the persons on the passenger train were
bruised or injured by the collision"
The freight train was seven minutes, and the
passenger train two minutes behind time, but the
track belonged to the latter.
