ramento Union, referring to the accidents which
happened ON this and other divisions Of the rail-
road. the latter part Of last week, says: 1--WE
mentioned in our last issue that the tea train,
which left this city Friday evening. met with an
accident near Colfax. BY which two cars were
smashed. The wreck was cleared prompt
ly, the contents Of the disabled cars placed in
others and brought to the city saturday, where
the tea was examined to see what damage it
had suffered, then reloaded into other cars, and
sent on it, way. The tea train had meanwhile
met with another accident east of Truckee.
While descending the grade It broke in two. and
came together again with such q crash that two
cars were knocked out Of shape and others dam
aged. The work Of clearing the track occupied
so much time that the westward bound passen-
ger train, due here at l P. n. Saturday. did not
reach the city until s. and the westward bound
freight train, due at $40 P. n. Saturday, got in
at 1890 A. n. yesterday. Saturdays eastward
bound freight train, which should have got here
about A. NJ, was three hours late in its arrival,
owing to soma detention. the particulars of which
we did not lealn. At Oakland, Saturday morn
ing, cars that were being switched, backed down
with such force against caboose car at the end
Of the track, TINT brakeman sleeping in the
caboose, named John Murphy, was instantly
killed, and another, J. T. Flintger, dangerously
injured"
