A serious wreck took place on the New England road, about two miles west oi Willimantic, Tuesday night. A Ipassen- ger train ran into charcoal team, drawn by pair of horses. The driver of the same was probably drunk, and the team had left the highway and followed the track for about one-eighth of mile, and had entered bridge when struck by the engine. The charcoal wagon was pushed along nearly quarter of 8 mile, and the engine was finally thrown down the en- bankment. The engineer and fireman stuck to their posts and escaped with bruises. The train consisted of four cars, the first two forward ones being empty. The first car was partly thrown down the bank. The two rear cars, which con- tained the passengers, did not leave the track, and none of the passengers were injured. The owner and driver of the team, D. c. Simley of Bolton, was found under the debris with only hip broken. Both horses were killed.
