Went a Railway Engine at Full
Speed, Followed by a Tender.
A Bad Break, But Only One
Man Hurt.

The engine of the incoming passen.
ger train over the M. &C. railroad,
due at $40 last night, left the track,
jumped over a fence into a corn field,
and barely missed lighting into a fish
pond, three miles east Of Germantown
and a couple Of hundred or so yards
this side of Forest Hill.
The accident occurred near 8o'clock
and was caused by cattle on the track.
The first COW hitwas killed, the second
was cut in two and caused the engine
to make its wonderful leap, and the
third dragged along under the wheels
of the tender, for a considerable dis
lance serving like a break to check up
the trains movements.
The train consisted Of two passenger
coaches, a ladies' and a smoking car,
and the tender and engine. The pas
senger cars did not leave the track and
the people aboard, some fifty in mum.
Der, we're uninjured. The fireman, a
white man, made a spring to the right
as the engine went the other way, and
in the fall had his arm so badly frac-
tured that it is feared it will have to
be a%mputated. The engineer stuck to
his post and fell beneath the engine,
which, in its leap to the cornfeld, the
level of which was ten feet below the
track, turned over on its side, a badly
smashed mass. He afterwards crawled
from the ruins unhurt.
The tender next behind tumbled
directly on top of the engine, and as.
sisted in making fragments of the
latter, as we'll as itself. The express,
baggage and mail car also ran off the
track, and bumped over the GROSS ties.
tearing them up for a considerable
distance, but did not upset.
The passengers exhibited no ex-
citement, and many did not know
anything serious had occurred until
they went out to examine the wreck.
A hundred thousand eggs. more or
less, in the express car, were mixed
up in good condition tor omelets. The
wheels of the forward cars were twist
ed and torn from their proper places,
several lying on top of the wreck, the
COW catcher was wrenched out of
shape and torn from the head Of the
engine, and the spectacle was one well
calculated to cause many expressions
of wonder at the fortunate escape
from death made by the engineer, as
well as those in the rear cars. The
conductor went afoot to Germantown
and t%elegraphed to the city. An
engine was sent out, reaching the scene
Of the wreck about one o'clock
this morning, and the conductor
expressed surprise at the magnitude
of the wreck, saying he had no idea it
was so bad, after which he and the
engine returned to the city for a pas
senger coach, getting back to the tired
and wornOut people, by this time in
anything but good humor over what
they considered an entirely unneces-
sary delay, at or near three o'clock this
morning, and coming into the city
about five or just before sunrise.
The outgoing passenger train leav.
ing here at or near eleven, was de
tanned through the night, and how
much longer, has not been a~scertained.
The torn track will doubtless be re-
paired and the trains running as usual
by this afternoon.

was broken and the animal appeared
to be in doubt as to what was best to
be done under the circumstances, At
last the terrier started down toward
Wood street, and on arriving at that
point espied Roundsman CoulSon, who
looked as if he would like to put the
dog out Of misery. The animal
stopped here a moment, then coolly
trotted down the wharf to the river,
plunged in and when a few yards from
the shore deliberately Owed under
water and drowned. The body was
shortly after fshed out and laid on
the bank. The incident was witnessed
by dozens Of people.

After settling all differences

not settle upon either, and a row en-
