Accident ON the Ro,top & ALBANY.

BOSTON, Jan, 1S.-Thc Boston s. Albany road had
narrow escape from terrible accident the other
night. When the engine left the 11.3O train at the
Pitsfeld depot and switched out of the way of the
relief locomotive, it found that the journal was
broken, and its afterwards ascertaned that the
train had come distance of two miles with one Of
the locomotive wheels off the track and running on
the snow and ice between the rails. Neither the
fireman nor engineer had noticed anything unusual
IN the running of the trau and were greatly aston
ished when the accident was discovered, which was
not until the attempt was made to back the engine
into the round-house. The train has two sleepers
and three ordinary coaches, and usually full COM
plement Of passengers. Had the wheel entirely bro.
ken of and dropped upon the track the train must
have been wrecked, with probably large loss of
life for it was hurried at full speed TO make up for
20 minutes lost time.

Senator informs he is likely to get it, 1t has gen.

for years has been transacted with this end in view
Now different opinion is advocated and it is sail

denly come to the conclusion it can be better con-
Quoted at Bangor Why this is SO when all the land
are sold or under contract and be conveyed With
out delay it is difficult to tell. There is undoubtedly
large amount of business to be performed mostly of
clerical nature to complete the business Of the office
but this can be done quite well better at the
state house, where all official records and documents
are and should be kept 1t will be remembered the
land office was formerly located at Bangor and was
removed to Augusta in 1874 when the largest sale of
timber lands were made Formerly when the state
had large interest in timber lands and annually col
lected considerable sums for stumpage it was very
convenient and proper that the office should be To-
Gated at Bangor.
