AS the ten o'clock night train was passing
along the banks of the canal, q short distance
below Delhi, and about twelve miles from this
city on Saturday last, rotten tie gave way
under the weightlof tho engine, which caused
rail to break! The engine. however, passed
over In safety, but the baggage caf Tore tap tfo
rail, thereby throwing the train off the track,
the first car falling bottom side up, full twenty
feet off. The second car was thrown partly off
and was badly broken. The third was cap
sized into the canal, and partly filed with
water, and would have been entirely submerged
and the passengers drowned, had the coupling
gave way fortunately this was not the case,
although all state that under the circumstances
it is impossible to conceive how 1t hold together
against the shock II received. 'rf r
The cars were twenty minutes behind time,
and were going at tho rate Of about thirty
miles per hour. All the passengers unite in
acknowledging their gratitude to the Con-
luctor, DR.. Fay, who they say deserves great
credit for his conduct. The following is d list
