RAILROAD ACCIDENT on THE NORTHERN CENTRAL
RAILwAY.-Ye esterday morning there was consider
able excitement in the community, by certain
bulletins being placed in front of the newspaper
offices to the effect that terrible accident had oc
Cured upon the line of the Northern Central Rail
way, the town of Texas, by which several
persons were killed and many others dangerously
wounded. This report spread rapidly through the
city, and in short time a large crowd of citizens
congregated at the Calvert and Bolton stations of
the road anxious to hear some particulars in regard
to the occurrence which, fortunately, turned out
to be not so disastrous as first represented.
The particulars of the accident appear to be
follows:
The mail passenger train, consisting of ba O
gage and four passenger cars left the Calvert sta
tion at $50 A. NJ, in charge of conductor George
Hambright and had proceeded as far as Cooper's
lime kilns about a quarter of mile beyond Texas
when, by the breaking of rail, the engine was
thrown off and across the track, the baggage and
first passenger car also jumping off and overturninG
down an embankment about twenty feet high, the
second passenger car also being thrown across the
track, and the third one run upon and mounting
the second, while the fourth remained upon the
track. The train at the time running at full
speed, and for few moments the utmost conSter-
nation prevailed among the passengers. Those,
however, who were not in jured soon set to work,
and in short time every one taken from the
wreck; the accident not proving so serious as was
at first supposed.
The person sustaining the greatest injury
Mrs. Hutchins, wife of Mr. AlOnzo Hutchins, Ticket
Auditor of the company, who received compound
fracture of the left ankle, which it is supposed will
render amputatiOn of the parts necessary. Mrs
Hutchins was accompanied by two of her children,
who escaped without serious injury. Mrs Hut
chns attended shortly after the accident by
DIR. Galloway, of Texas, who skllltully reduced
the fracture.
An elderly gentleman, whose name could not be
ascertained, had his left shoulder dislocated, was
also attended by DR.. Galloway, and proceeded on
to Harrisburg.
Several other passengers slightly injured
Mr.. John Hill, Express Messenger; Mr.. G. Ham
bright the conductor; and Mr.. Jesse Hitchcock,
baggage master, all somewhat bruised. The
engineer, fireman and brakesmen, escaped.
AS soon as the news of the accident was despatch
ed to the Calvert station, Robert S..Hollins Esq,
Secretary of the Company, gave orders to get re-
lief train in readiness which was shortly done, and
supplying it with mattresses for the wounded and
procuring the services of Drs. Dunbar, Van Bib
ber, Rggen, and Buckler, it started from the
Calvert station at about II o'clock for the scene
This train returned at o'clock, conveying those
who had been injured back to the city, and bring
ing the gratifying intelligence that no lives had
been lost by the accident.
DIsORDERLY CONDUCT.-Y esterday afternoon con-
siderable excitement was occaSiOned on the corner
of Fayette and Calvert streets, by the conduct of
several well-known characters who had been in
dulging pretty freely in liquor 1t appears that at
the time mentioned, Grab Ashby, John Shaney,
Andy McGunnigan, Samuel Brooks, Robert Miller,
and several others of the same character, were
passing up Favette street, and that when near Cal
vert street, Ashby assaulted a gentleman named
Riddle, which assault was noticed by officer Thos.
Hannigan who Immediately seized Ashby, but was
then nterfered with BY the others, who handled
the officer at the time very roughly. This over,
the party went into Guys bar-room, where officer
Hannigan followed them, having procured the aid
OF officers Rote, Simpson and Ringgold. Hannigan
again arrested Ashby, when he set upon by
Brooks and ShanpV
him severely. Hannigan at this time was molested
by John Hinesly, who encouraged the crowd in
their resistance to the police Officer John Hudgins
tthe Middle district was very efficient in preventing
the crowd from seriously iniuring Hanngan, who,
in a very short time, had scarcely whole garment
upon his person. Ashby was at last conveyed to
the Middle station-house, and Brooks also taken
there after considerable struggle.
After the fight had progressed for some time at
Guys, word was sent to the Middle pOice-station,
which brought up detectives German, Stevens and
Peacock, who met the other officers with Brooks IN
charge Fayette street, near the church. AT this
point few more of the Regulators entered the
crowd and showed resistance to the officers, and at
the corner of North street an attempt was made to
rescue Brooks. John English in here and
assaulted officer Hudgins, but soon called away
by his acquaintance. Brooks eventually
lodged in the station-house.
After the arrest of Ashby and Brooks, Sergeant
McCOmas, and officers Hannigan and Hudgins,
proceeded to the crib on Holiday street, for the
purpose of securing McGunnigan, but when the
officers entered, that individual escaped through
trap-doOr into the cellar After this no other ar
rests were made.
Brooks had a hearing before Justice Hiss in the
evening, and released security in the sum of
$500, to appear before Court. John Young, bonds
man. Ashby not released.
1t was reported that John Hineslv, during the
above affair, was relieved of one hundred dollar
bank note, which he had upon his person.
