HOLLAND, Mich, April 1.-The Chicago
nail train due here at 1875 P. M met with
an accident about three niles south of
this city, caused by an axle breaking un-
der the tender of the sBgire and switching
in such way as TO throw she smoking and
baggage cars and two coaches off the track
in terrible confusion. Two sxpressmen
and route agent were seriously injured.
Traffic was stopped for about ten hours.
Viewing the wreck as it is, it seems mi
racIlous that many passengers were not
killed outright.
