A telegram from Elko, March
14th, gives the following account
Of an accident on the Central Pa
cifc Railroad: The west bound
possengertrain No. 2, consisting of
q mail express and baggage car and
one sleeper, two first class coaches
and an emigrant Car, met with quite
a serious accident this morning,
whensabout ten miles west of'Toano.
The accident occurred on an em.
bankment about thirty feet high.
The train was an hour late, and
running at the usual speed, when a
rail broke and precipitated the hind
coach and emigrant car down the
embankment. The coach was filled
with passengers and turned com.
pletely over, and now lies upside
down. The emigrant car, which
was in the rear, was thrown VIC.
lently down the grade but main.
tanned its equilibrium. The for.
ward coach and sleeper was also
thrown from the track, but did noe
60 down the embsnKment. The
following is the list Of the injured,
obtained by special reporter sent
to the scene Of the disaster: Jas
Dick, Colorado springs, Col, slight
cut in right shoulder, was in the
next to the rear coach. Benz. Cav.
son, Providence r. l., deep cut in
forehead, rot dangerous; was IN
the emigrant car. Mrs. VIM. Roe,
Dundas courty Canada; seriously
injured about the head, right arm
and side fractured shows signs OF
internal injury; considered some
what doubtful. Several Others
sustained slight injuries, but none
ofa serious character The acci-
dent was q most fortunate affair in
its results, as railroad Ren consider
the escape of so great a number
uninjured from the coach that was
violently thrown down theembank'
ment bottom upwards, as almost
miraculoGS. The heavy SNOW, how
ever, in the vlcinity Of the disaster,
probably accounts for the number
uniniured. The wounded with one
exception, that being Mas. Roe, will
be able to proceed to tleir destinA.
ton. The engine, mail, express
and baggage cars passed over the
broken rail and felt nothing of it,
showing plainly that the rail broke
in passing over il. Every proviE.
ion has been made by the company
for those who sustained any iWu.
ries The snow along che road be-
tween Wells and Tosna IL very
deep, and 4 slight addition, accom-
panied by high winds is liable to
produce B recurrence Of the block
ades at any tine.
