above Warren, Monday afternoon
about o'clock. Passenger train No.

IL Southwestern freight on a sharp
curve at the above place. Both trains
were under full headway when they
came together. The engines reared on

they, together with the baggage and
smoking car and eight or ten empty
freight cars are total wrecks. The fire.
man, Cream Custon, on the passenger,
in attempting to jump from the
engine was instantly killed, while en-.
gineer Skidmore attempting the same
thing was seriously if not fatally
injured. The express messenger, A. j..
JULIEN, and newsboy G. Vanhorn, we're
badly injured. Among the injured
passengers were Chas. St. John of Ii.
tusville, and Mr.. Herrick of Ackleys,
Pa. Other passengers, some eight or
ten III number were also injured but
will probably all survive. No one on
the freight was hurt, the engineer and
fireman having been warned in time
to jump from the engine. This is the
first accident Of a serious nature that
has occurred on this road since it has
been running, and no doubt the cause
of the accident will be thoroughly in

We wish to return thanks to the
managers of the Buffalo Chautauqua
Lake and Pittsburgh R'y Co., of which
Mr. j. L. Butman is the Superintend-
ent, for an invitation to the formal
opening Of their road, which event was
celebrated last Saturday by a grand
excursion over the road and trip on
Chautauqua Lake. We should liked
to have taken it in had we been able
to spare the time. This road, which
was formerly the Cross-Cut, has been
thoroughly overhauled and repaired
and is now in most excellent condi
! tion. We wish to mention in this
connection that Mr. w. S. Baldwin
formerly Superintendent for the
Woods Heirs, has been appointed
General Passenger Agent for this road
with Office at Buffalo, N. Y, a fact
which his many friends in this place
will be glad to learn. The Titusvill'
Herald, in speaking of the excursion
pays Mr.. B. this handsome compli
mems: "M'. S. Baldwin, Esq, the
courteous General Passenger Agent o
Buffalo, N. Y, was the President o
the day, and we'll he showed his grea
executive ability in the management
of all the details. Everything wen
off smoothly as clockwOrk."
