| A dispatch from Albuquerque. N. NJ.
says: The fast-bound Atlantic and Pacific
train due at Albuquerque at 80 Tuesday
morning came in ten hours behind time
The delay was caused by the wreck
which occurred on the desert in California
at the point known as Horse Snoe Curve
The train was running very slowly, but
the trucks Of the express car it is claimed
were not in good working order and re.
fused to adjust themselves to the curves
In consequence the car was pulled off the
track, and breaking away from the en-.
gine, which it left on the track, went
tumbling down thirty-foot embank-
ment, pulling after it the baggage, mail
and three emigrant coaches and two
sleepers, well filed with passengers, all
OF whom suffered injuries more or less
severe. 1t is asserted that the mail
clerk, who was badly bruised, tried to
telegraph to Albuquerque for assistance,
and some of the wounded passengers
tried to send dispatches to their friends,
but the railway controlled the only wire
and positively forbid the operator to
send the messages. Twelve hours after
the accident the passengers were picked
up by special train. The passengers
were very indignant at their treatment,
particularly in the matter OF kilograms,
and adopted resolutions condemning the
cOmpauy'S action.
