'Ae small toe, almost to the middle of
the foot. One of his fellow workmen
picked up the piece of flesh, and put.
ting it back in its place, bound 1t on,
and the man was taken to his residence
No. I'll East Seventh street and DR..

Raalrosa a eadens.

An accident occurred on the Delaware
Railroad, at Clayto about y o'clock
this morning. The particulars of the
affair are very meagre, but from what
could be learned q number of per.
sons made q very narrow escape
from death, while some fifteen
Tor twenty were injured, only al
few Of whom we're hurt seriously. In
conversation with q passenger on board
Of the fated train, the following par
ticulars were Cleaned :
The north bound express, due in THU
city about 10 o'clock, when approach
ing Clayton, ran into train on the
Delaware and Chesapeake road, which
was backed across the main track just
~ the express came laundering along
Before either train could be stopped
tho engine Of the express train struck
the passenger cars of the other train
and played havoc withthe same, scatter.
ing wood and iron In every direction,
four or Ave cars being turned over and
wrecked.
About six or eight received severe
cuts or bruises, but they were promptly
cared for by physicians who had been
summoned to the scene.
The passengers in the train were
badly shaken up and thrown promis-
uously about the car, and how some Of
them escaped more serious injury than
few bruises is mystery.
The engine Of the express train was
thrown from the track and badly
damaged, while the tracks were torn up
| for o considerable distance.
Several trains were delayed by the
accident, and humber of anxious per-
sons assembled at the DEPOT In this city
to await the arrival of the first train,
which did not reach here until 80 o.
clock. AS far as could be learned, only
one person from Wilmington was in.
jured, Mrs. Jane Walls, who received
several bruises on the shoulder. A
| wrecking train was sent down from
this city to repair the damage.
The accident Is attributed TO careless.
ness on the part of the engineer on the
branch road, although 1t was 30 foggy
at the time that he could not see the
approaching train.
