sAGADAHoC COUNTY.

The regular passenger train from Portland
met with an accident Wednesday afternoon
which came near being attended with fatal
consequences. When two miles east of Rich
mond the locomotive Brunswick was thrown
from the track, it is supposed in consequence
of broken rail, and with the tender was pre-
cipitated down the embankment some thirty
or forty feet onto the ice in the Kennebec riy-
er, the baggage car at the same time being
thrown from the track ON the opposite side.
The rest of the train, consisting OF the smok-
ing car and three passenger cars, kept on run
ming nearly one-eighth OF mile beyond the
point where the engine left tho track. The
engineer, samuel Carter, when the engine left
the track blew the whistle and kept at his post.
while the fireman, Mr.. Evans while atteinpt
ing to break up, was thrown from the tender
and slightly injured 1t is fortunate that the
shackie connecting the tender with the bag
gage car was broken, as had it been otherwise
the entire train would have been thrown
down the embankment and the result been
more serious in its effects. The Brunswick
has been recently rebuilt and was lust out
OF the shop. The loss TO the Company will
not be heavy. The train was running at its
usual rate of speed, or about twenty miles an
hour. AS soon as the accident took place
word was sent TO Superintendent Hatch, who
dispatched an engiLe and train of cars to
bring the passengers to Augusta The train
arrived at Augusta about three hours behind
time. -..--
