THE ACCIDENT ON THE PHILADELPHIA RAIL
ROAD VI ails and trains from the North and
East were detained yesterday on account of
an accident which occurred on the Philadel-
rLia Railroad, near Wilmington. The acci-
GeEt occurred at the draw bridge over Bran
dywine crteB.
On Thursday night peach train for Phil
ad, lphia was going up, and just before reach
ing the bridge on the south side is short curve,
where ii is exps cted that all the engineers will
20 at 70 slow rate of speed to be able to
stop their trains w hen the draw happens to be
open. The draw was open on Thursday night
but The speed Of the tram was so great that it
could not be entirely checked, and the Iocomo.
tive fell over and hung upon the bridge, in
which position it remained up to late yester-
day afternoon.
Passengers going North and South were
transferred across the creek to different trains,
but it is expected that all the distinctions will
be removed TO- day, and the road be again in
workite order The officers of the road think
that II the engineer had exercised proper care
the accident would have been avoided, as tine
draw is likely to be off at any hour Of the night
when vessels are passing
