Ouite serious, but we have reason to hope
not "a fatal, accident occurred on the Cicve- |
land & Toledo Railroad, on Tuesday night,
three or four miles cast of Norwalk. Weare
indebted to w. A. Beach, Esq, Agent OF the
Western Union Telegraph in this city, pas
scnrer, for the following particulars OF the
affair:
The train, consisting Of three coaches and
two sleeping cars, left Cleveland at lol. NJ,
and arrived at the place OF the accident about
II O'Clock twas running at about ~ nlllcS
pcr hour, and down grade on the side OF IA
Vine when q rail on the outer side gave way,
The locomotive and express car passed over
safely; the baggage car and first coach went
off and turned partly over near the track the
other two coaches and both sleeping cars
plunged down the bank, distance some ten
feet from the track, all turning bottom side
up except the last Sleeping car, in which Mr.
B was riding, and which stopped on one side
Most fortunately the cars brought up IN large
snow-bank, which alone saved them from be-
ing dashed to spntcrs, and the passengers
from much greater injury: The cars TOOK nre J,
from the stoves, bur by the use OF snow the
flames were soon extinguished me utter
tbntilsion and CONSERVATION into winch such
an event must throw load of passengers,
many of whom awakcd from sleep by the over
turning of the cars, can be understood only
Inv those who Witnessed it. The mixture OF
passengers and loose articles, especially In inc
slecping cars was most thorough Inc smoke
in the sleeping cars was becoming suhocat'hs
until the windows were kicked open.
We are glad to be able to state that no one
was killed, and that it is hoped no life Will b.
lost ii consequence of the accident. Mr.
