SERIOUS RAILROAD COLLISION-LOSS OF
IIpp

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 5.-A collision occurred this
afternoon the Camden and Atlantic railroad, be-
tween the express passenger train and freight
train near White Horse, eleven miles from this
city. William Snera merchant Of Philadelphia,
and the engineer and fireman of the express train
were killed, and some thirteen wounded, some
very seriously. The cause of the accident is said
to have been owing to the anxiety of some Of the
employees of the freight train to reach its destna-
ton in time to participate in excursion which
induced them to violate the time tables Two OF
those connected with the train fed to the woods
on seeing the result of their rashness.
