RIIL ACCIDENTS.

Two railroad accidents that really
were accidents took place yesterday.
The Royal Blue line fast Cincinnati ex-
press. on the Jersey Central line-a very
popular train--was wrecked at Bayonne.
at the Forty-fif street crossing. The
cause Of the accident was q collision
between two sections Of . coal train.
which threw . car Immediately across
the passenger track. Into this
the express, going at the rate Of nearly
sixty miles an hour. crashed. The loco
motive was overturned: the dome Of the
boiler blew out with a terrific explosion.
The assistant fireman and engineer were
killed; the baggage-master. fireman and
one Of the wrecking crew were badly In
jured.
Singularly enough, only one passenger
was seriously hurt. although all were
badly shaken UP and suffered . severe
fright. This Is undoubtedly due to the
superior construction Of the cars used
on these fast rains.
The other accident occurred on the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad. the Sixth
avenue line. at Franklin street, at $50
o'clock in the afternoon. about the busi-
est hour Of the day 1t was the most
serious accident that has thus far hap
pened on the Elevated roads.
No lives we're lost. although quite .
otherwise injured.
BY the premature turning Of . switch
the rear trucks OF q southbound train
were thrown to a siding. Then the en-
gins Of . Aorthbound empty train struck
