Railroad Accident.
The express train which passed through
this city, for Philadelphia, at half past eleven
o'clock, Gu Monday. met with serious acct
dent at C!aymont. Samuel q. IIanby was
engaged in hauling a log. to the saw mill of
G. w. Churchman, and IN passing over the
railroad one end Of it came in contact with
the ground and The team stalled At this
junc,ure the noise of the approaching train
was heard, and Mr. IL. hastily unhlched his
horses Whether he signal.d The engineer
to hold up, or not we are unable to say, but
it he did that fuac'ionary needed 1t not and
came laundering on at the rate of lh,rtv-fvc
miles an hour, he being behind time, and
there being curve in the road he was unable
to sec the obstruction until within few
yards of it, and then he and the fireman
Jumped 10 the ground. The locomotive
struck the log, and carried it some thirty or
forty yards, sweeping the bank on either side
OF the road. and tearing down telegraph
pole, when the log was broken off, although
about two feet in diameter, and the train was
brought to dead stand after passing but a
few yards further.
The trunk under the locomotive was
broken; those under the mail aud baggage

rails on both sides Of the track, and even the
cross lies for that distance were torn up :; for.
