TERRIBLE RAILROAD AC-
GIDENT.
Il whole train thrown or the track
Between Forty md Fifty Persons
Injured.

We arc indebted to Thomas S. Dickinson,
Es4., Of this city, who was o passenger on the
train, for the following details OF terrific
accident which happened on the Cleveland
and Toledo Railroad carly Saturday morning.
Mr.. D. left Buffalo at o'clock on Friday af-
ternoon, aud took a sleeping car at C1evc-
land Mt s O'Clock in the evening. The train
consisted of baggage car, four passenger
coaches and two sleeping cars. III had FALL
en- asleep, but about / o'clock, and when
about four miles from Norwnlk, was awaken
ed by succession Of heavy tiumps and fol-
lowed by terrific crash. The sleeping car
was turned upside down, and he found him
self wedgcd between fragments Of broken chr
furniture and unable to move. The chr
was in utter darkncss for q few
minutes, but soon took fire from the stove 1T
the end. Every one In the car was caught in
the fragments and unable to move. Outside,
parties, however, broke In the windows, cx-
tingnjshed the fires, and In process Of time
released al1 from the terrible situation. The
entire train, which was going at the rate Of
twenty -f1yo miles IN hour, was thrown
from the track By broken rail and hurled
down an ernbaukmcnt Of some fifteen feet or
more. The cars were complete wreck. The
running gear and furniture were completely
shattered, md the framcs Of the. cars were
piled i,.to ono promfscuous heap. Those who
were able, headed by the conductor, Mr..
Clark, and The sleeping car conductor, Mr..
Williams, Immediately sot themselves to
work to rescue the unfortunate sufferers. Be-
tween forty and fifty persons we're taken
from the wreck, many Of them horribly
manned, but miraculous TO relate, whcn Mr..
D. left only one person had died. Many had
their legs and arms broken, and others we're
tearfnly> cut and bruised. The fact that the
cars plunged into snow bank is probably all
that prevented one ofthe most terrible cas-
ualtics In railroad history. Physicians were
summoned from Norwalk and every thing WIS
done to alleviate the suffczings Of the victims.
During the confusion many Of the passcn-
gers lost their clothing, watches and valua-
bles. Mr. D. had previously observed two
suspicious looking personagcs On the train.
He kept vigilant watch over them. and
| upon arriving at Toledo went to the Mayor's
office and obtained the services of two police
men who arrested them. Several coats.
| among them his Own, watches and other mi.
uablcs were found in their possession, They
were at once brought before grand fury ana
held for trial
Considering the complete wreck 10 which
| the train was reduced, 1t seems almost mirac.
ulous that but one person was killed. Thc

\ vast amount Of peace talk, which now

that ambassadors from JET. Davis arc on

baseadors from Mr.. Lincoln have gone to
Richmond, or that any serious expectation Of
immediate results from either the Senior
Blair's mission or that Of Gen. Singleton, is
anticipated. So far as any actual authority
was given these gentlemen By our Govern
ment, 1t was solely on private grounds. Even
