SlxorLAn RAlInoAD AccGbENT.-.A rather
singular accident occurred on the Marietta aud
Cincinnati X. X, a few days since near the latter
place. The engineer of freight train, for some
purpose detached his engine from his rainiand
ran ahead. The train was then left standing on
the track, in charge of the brcakrnan, at the
top of a steep grade. BY some means the train
was started down this grade, and the brakes
failed to stop it; and while the engineer WAS
running his engine back and forth, the train came
in collision with it, smashing the tenderto pieces
and injuring the fireman so badly that he died
next morning. 5a
