ANOTHER JERSEY RAILROAD SMASHUp
ihe Morris and Essex Railroad Again-An En-
gineer Killed-The Hardships En-
dured by Passengers

The smash-up on the Morris and Essex Railroad
on Tuesday was the most complete wreck ever
known on that road, except perhaps that or last
July. Engine No. 49, drawing tram OF coal cars.
jumped tic iavh tho poont on hranch two miIes
below Boonton, about half-past four O'Clock IN
the afternoon. The engineer, Christopher Hen
dricks, OF Phillipsburg, was caught between the
engine and tender and his legs were literally
smashed He was placed in a caboose and removed
from the wreck, but he survived only FEW hours.
The fireman, Samuel Hail. the conductor and four
brakemen, escaped with slight injuries. There
appears to have been gross negligence on the part
of the officials: for the passenger train which
left Hoboken at fifteen minutes past five was al.
lowed to proceed, aud the first intlmation the
engineer OF this tram had Of the accident was from
parties within few hundred feet or the track
There was sufficient lime 10 transmit the i'm.
teliigence TO Paterson before the passenger
train arrived there. Instead oil beinl con.
veyed back 10 Paterson or H0b0ken the
hapless passengers were obliged to trudge on
loot, under the terrible storm, through mud, and
at the risk OF tumbling Gown a ravine. TO escape
train coming from Denvie. There were no lights
10 guide them the entire route traversed was one
OF great hardship, and must have been fearfully dis
tressing 10 ladies and children.
A New York merchant VINO was among the pas
sengers declares that he will never forget the hard.
ships endured on tnat night. TO say that the pas
sengers were indignant would be using mild ex-
preston. The unfortunate engineer leaves wife
and six children. Those who stood over him in his
agony describe the scene as most heartrendinR
when he gasped Out his last words, ION, my wile
