RAILROAD Academia locomotive and Passen-
ger Car in the Hackcnsaek Riyer.-The Hackensack
Railroad train left the New jersey Railroad and
Transportation Company's depot at Jersey city on
Wednesday evening at 6.35, consisting of l0comu-
tive and single passenger car (of iron,) which
was about half full. On approaching the Hacken-
sack river, a few minutes past o'clock, the draw
was found open to permit the passage of a sloop,
and the signal fiery bai) displayed, as required
Needless of this, although warned by the fireman
the engineer did not whistle to put ON brakes until
near the centre of the bridge, which is one thou
sand seven hundred feet long. Observing his mis-
take, be tried to apply the engine brake, but says
it would not hold, having been found out of order
on the trip down to Jersey city. The whistle came
too late for the brake to be applied the passen-
ger car in time.
In an instant the locomotive dashed from the
track into the river where the water is over twenty
feet deep and about ten feet below the track at low
tide. The engineer and fireman jumped, the former
getting pretty badly hurt in the lower limbs. The
locomotive disappeared beneath the food with a
prodigious noise. The passenger car followed, but
fortunately its forward end rested on the engine

the surface of the water.

none OF the passengers got seriously hurt. The
water, however, rushed in, and before the inmates
could escape many of them were totally immersed
in the unwecome liquid The other end of the
car rested upon the track, and thus it formed an
inclined plane, up which the passengers were at
last able to climb and make their escape several of

In lew minutes the Paterson train from jersey
