Dayton ana Srtchfgan RAILROAD Accsssent.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the Sd gives die fol-
lowing account Of this affair
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning the express
train on the Dayton and Michigan Railroad, which
left Toledo the evening previous, when at Coles
vile Bluffs. sixteen miles above Dayton and four
miles south Of Troy, met with serious accident,
by which two cars were preeipitated over an en-
bankment twenty feet high into the Miami Canal,
and nearly all the passengers more or less injured.
The two passenger cars, containing about twenty
persons each, were thrown from the track and
turned entirely over once and half over again,
alighting in the canal bottom upward.
The scene in the cars was terrible. Scarcely q
passenger had escaped without some bruises, and
from many the blood was gushing iii streams,
which. in some instances, rendered recognition all
most impossible. The cries Of the women, and the
fact that the cars were gradually sinking in feet
water added considerably to the excitement Of the
moment. Had 1t not been for a heavy incrustation
of Ice on the surface of the canal, three or fonr
inches in thickness, which, although broken by the
conclusion, prevented the carr from instantly I'LL
ing, many persons must have been drowned.
