 SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 15.-Last evening 8 freight train was thrown from the train at Blackinton, while switching. This caused the stoppage of another freight train on the main track. A third train was close be- hind the second. so that there was not time to give warning, and this last train ran into the rear of the second train, smashing the ca boose and setting it on fire, and telescoping the two rear cars, one filled with beef and the other with wheat. The beef car was set on fire from the caboose and partly consumed. The engine, which ran into the train, the Vanderbilt, No. 19, was all smashed up. and the track was torn up so badly that, with all the section hands they could muster from Williamstown and North Adams, they did not get the track cleared until about three o'clock this morning. No one was in jured. The pecuniary damage is about $2O,- OOO

Disabled i'm Mid-Ocean-A Bark at the
 Mercy of a Furious Gale-Terrible
 Experience of the Crew.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The steamship Colum- bis, of the Anchor line, arrived in port to-day with the crew of the bark Maria Duncan, Captain Atkinson, which left Boston laden with grain for Ipswich, England, on the 27th of December, with 8 crew of twelve men. The second day out from Boston the bark ex- perienced very rough weather and the crew had to be kept constantly at the pumps dur ing the storm, which lasted several days. The ship leaked badly and the decks and cabin were flooded. A portion of the cargo was thrown over, but the men found it impossible to do much with the vessel On the 3Oth of December the gale increased in violence. The sea rolled heavily and the crew nomentarily expected the vessel would founder. The mainsail, main topsail, yard and main gallant yard were lost, and the situation was so des- perate that the crew unanimously requested the captain to abandon the ship. Captain Atkinson saw that the request was reasonable and promised to signal the first vessel that came in sight, but not sail was seen for three days. Meantime several of the men were disabled from constant work at the pumps. On January 2d 8 bark was sighted and signals of distress were displayed, but the bark paid no attention and kept on her course. The crew worked at the pumps in watches of two hours and attended to their injuries as we'll as they could. On the 4th inst. steam or came in sight and it was thought she would surely come to the rescue, but she either did not or would not see the signals and steamed close by without making any offer of assist anee. In the afternoon of the same day sig nals of distress were made to Q barkentine, but her commander proved as indifferent as lights of steamer were sighted The Maria Duncan flashed lights several times and the steamer, which turned out to be the Columbia, came close by and stopped. There was considerable sea on and the boats of the bark were not strong enough to weather it. Captain Young, of Columbia, ordered the ifeboat lowered, and in a short time the crew of the bark were safely on board the
