RAILWAY. N. j., Oct. Is.
The Philadelphia express on the Pennsyl-
yania railroad had narrow escape from q
frigntful accident today. The train COM
prisss two combination psrlor cars and three
coaches and runs at high speed. 1t passed
the main depot today four minutes late
running sixty miles an hour. The engine
just as it reached the east end of the long
bridge on the main street, jumped the track,
and was followed by five cars.
The crash as the whole train left the track
Was terrific. The train ran along the ties
two hundred feet, when the couplings broke
between the cars and each car took a shoot
in different direction, tearing up rails and
ties and digging into the stone ballast road
bed. There are four tracks at this point.
and the cars twisted around so as to COM
pletely wreck the rosdbed and cars them
selves. All the passengers received u severe
shaking up. The accidert is due to the
spreading of the rails. which were new.
