ACCIDENT ON THE B. & P. R. R.-There
was another accident on the Baltimore and Po-

was ouotucI dCClucuG VI Tie, pdltlLuUEe auu u
tomac Railroad, yesterday, by which freight
car was smashed, and an engine injured, but
fortunately no one seriously hurt. The acct
dent occurred at Seabrook station, where side
ling is used by trains going North ard South
to afford passageway for each other. Two fast
freight trains, bound to and from Washington,
had reached that place shortly before 4 o clock
10 the evening. Here they must leave the
main road, and yield the track to the limited
express from New York, which was almost due.
The freight coming South was the first to ar.
rive. and ran on to the switch. Shortly after
the fast freight. bound for Baltimore, and load
ed principally with stock, came up, expecting
and intending to take the same switch to get
out Of the way of the South bound fast passen
ger train. lo running on to the switch it was
found too short to accommodate the distance
demanded by both trains and free the single
through track. The Southern-b bound had nc
space to give, and when both engines stood
head and head freight car Of the cattle train
still remained diagonally across the through
track, completely blocking the way of all other
trains. While undecided how to remedy the
case, man with red flag was dispatched to
intercept the train and warn the engineer Of
impending danger. He had not gone more
than two hundred yards before the down ex
press was seen coming along at its ordinary
rapid rate Of travel. The man sgnaled the
train, but its speed diminished but little, and
it soon passed him, then ran into the treigh,
car, overturniug and smashing it and doing
considerable damage to the engine. The pas
senger train was brought to an abrupt stop, but
beyond short butting match no serious results
followed to the passengers. The fireman, John
Lewis, received some severe cuts and bruises, bu
none of them were regarded as dangerous Or
the cattle train five beeves and two hogs were
killed.
