FATAL ACCIDENT on THE n. C. r. R.-The
Western express which left Baltimore at 10
o'clock on Friday night Oct. 25th, was wreck
ed near Minich's Crossing about three miles
south of York. 1t appears that as the train
came around the curve at that place the en-
CINE and every car in the train was thrown off
the track on account of land slide on the east
side of the east track. The engine ran some
distance, tearing up both the tracks, and then
fell on the right side on the west track crush
ing the engineer, who was at his post. The
express aud baggage cars and one passenger
car were precipitated down an embankment
the ends resting in the waters of a stream
The other cars fortunately were not upset
The engine was complete wreck. The engi-
neer, John Curry, was caught under the boiler
manning him cruelty that he died in ten
minutes. The fireman, Philip Hess, was also
bruised and cut, but was able to be taken TO
Baltimore upon the train arriving there Satur-
day afternoon. All the passengers aboard the
wrecked train, although considerably tumbled
about, escaped unhurt.
The unfortunate engineer was single man,
but was engaged to young lady OF Sunbury.
His remains were taken to York and this lady
accompanied them to his home at Phenix,
Baltimore county. He was twenty-six years of
age, and was greatly respected and esteemed
by all who new him. He was frst-class en-
gIneer IN every respect and will be quite a loss
to the road. 1t is reported that last spring
similar accident occurred, when he was caught
under the same engine and was not gotten out
tor several hours. He escaped with severe in
jury at that time only to loose his life now.
