EEw YoRKs Aug. 2s.--The following are aS S
lie particulars Of the Long Island railroad ass
,cidsnt, which occurred this morning at
IS:
The Green Point train should not leave .
amaiea Station unless the Huntsr'o Point
ain had arrived. 1t started from Jamaica. q
n minutes before time, and met the other ~
ain at full speed one mile west Of that vii
&c. The signal Of the approaching train
ON Hunters Point was heard by several
lssengers on the other train, and one gem
eman, who was standing on the platform VI
the smoking car, looked out, seen the
niger and leaPed of without sustaining
~ injury.
The Hunters Point train was under full
'eed, as the conductor dOubtless felt secure 30
to his right Of way; but the Ohio con-
ictor, whose name we understand Is
lnds, had begun somewhat to slaeken the
eed Of his train, Is he was aware Of the
security Of his position. There wss sufii- ..
emit time, indeed, for the engineers, ere q
en-, and conductor to jump of, which they q
d without receiving any injuries. Tho
stern train was completely run down ard
uahsd to pisces. Some men we're hanging
meath the wreck others we're suspended
: the throat, across which strong iron
uders had been crushed others we're -
ing beneath the lines Of wrecked cars aud
gaming with pain, few brief moments Of
e remaining to them. Al first it seemed -
me could have escaped alive, but in a few
omsnts one and another Of the Actins
awled from beneath the awful mass Of
oxen timbers. More than fifteen immor
souls were ushered into the presence Of
cir Maker.
The shock Wss 50 great that the engines
,anded back from each other, while the
noking car Of the train from the east was
DIVIDED with passengers not one was Sc
ousiy injured.
