Rochester was thrown from the track this morning
at half past ten o'clok mile and half north OF
Warsaw depot, while running at rapid rate OF

become detached from each other ran jumping
alongside the track upon the ties some twelve
rods there being so much ice and snow that the set
brakes had little effect.
The baggage car ran down into a deep gully, its
rear end lying partially raised the track. The
baggage master escaped unhurt but was badly
frightened. The smoking car plunged into another
gully several rods back, and lay position SINH
lar to that of the baggage car; but it was badly
smashed. The ladies car was lifted from its trucks
and thrown sideways; but the Pullman coach,
which completed the train, kept its position be-
tween the rails unhuTt. The passengers ana IRAN

but no bones were broken. The only serious injury
was done TO conductor LudingtOn, who was thrown
