The fact that train on the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad had
been thrown of the track near Elkton,
on Friday night, was briefly stated in
the telegraphc despatch received the next
day. The following are the par .icuIars-- way

by locomotive, IN charge OF Mr.. VIM. ii. Good

regular time, the train proceeded at It's usual rate
OF speedfor aboUt three miles, when it came in

Robert Donaldson, was injured about the, back,

the passengers were injured in the slightest degree.
They were detained near the scene OF the accident

train by which they were enabled to reach Phila-

and loss OF life and serious injury to the passeI-
gers would have resulted therefrom.

Two passenger cars, the rear ones in the train,
were thrown from the track by . broken rail, and
| the cars rolled down quite . steep embankment,

were occupied principally by ladies' and most OF
those injured were Of that sex, some Of whom re-
| ceived severe and ugly wounds about the head.
| As soon as the wounded were released, they were
put on board the cars the track and brought to

physicians TO meet the ITain at the depot, which
| was complied with by most Of our practitioners.
On the arrival of the train the wounded taken

dressed and every attention shown them.
The scene presented on board the train on its
arrival at the depot was enough to touch the
sympathes OF the most hardened. The old and
young, homely and fair alike covered with
blood, and their hair matted togetber with their
own crimson life current. Several young ladies'
had fearful gashes in the face, and one We noticed
