ACCIDENT ON THE VERMONT CEN
TRIAL RAILRoAD.--On Wednesday fore
noon an express train from Montreal to
Boston, on the northern division of the
Vermont Central Railroad, ran into a
freight train going north, at St. Alex
andre, about eight miles south of st.
Johns. The Burlington Free Press gives
the following account:
"The freigh train was on a side track
at the station, waiting for the express
train to pass. When the express was
within few rods of the switch, the switch
man, through blunder, misplaced it SO
as to throw the train on the same track as
the freight. The passenger train, running
at full speed, came with terrific force into
the freight train, wrecking both engines,
demolishing the baggage car and dis
abling the two passenger cars and the
| Boston drawing room car. Two or three
freight cars next the engine happening to
be empty, telescoped into each other, thus
reducing materially the force of the shock,
and undoubtedly saving many lives. The
casualties, considering the circumstances,
were but few. No one was killed, and
but one person seriously injured, pas
sepger from Montreal named Owler, and
a we'll known printer of that city, who re.
ceived severe injuries in the head, and had
his shoulder dislocated. The baggage
master was injured in the foot and hand
The fireman ON the freight engine had
his head badly cut. The engineer jumped
off and was unhurt."
