RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

COLLISION on THE DAYTON AND WEsTERS RAIL-
RoAD-A LOCOMOTIVE AND Four FREIGHT CARS
DEnoLIsHED.-There was a tremendous collision on
the Dayton and Western Road, about eighteen miles
west of this city, yesterday evening" little after
o'clock, by which locomotive was demolished, and
four freight cars with their contents, were torn to
pieces We learn that the freight train from the West
had been detained longer than it ought to have been
at stations along the road and at the time 81 the
catastrophe was than an hour behind It's ii,he
The conductor was stationed on the rear car WIN

tho attached to his train stalled IN gong
up steep grade. This caused another detention anu
before they could make the s.oont, the passenger a
from the West which was also few minutes behihd
time, and running at accelerated speed to make her
time to Dayton, came up, and before 1t could be
avoided ran full speed into the rear freight cars The
engineer of the passenger locomotive saw the train
ahead of him but instant before the collision oc-
cured and, reversing his engine, jumped off, and
escaped with few bruises. His locomotive crushed
four of the cars, containing -four and cooper stuff,
almost to atoms, scattering the fragments in every
direction and pilng the broken trucks in heap upon
the fifth car which also considerably damaged.
The passenger locomotive was made wreck, and will
hardly lie repaired. Considerable damage was done
TO the Of both trains by the crash but we are
happy to learn that was seriously injured.
