HARLEM BRANCH WRECK.
LOCOMOTIVE LEAVES TRACKS AND
OVERTURNS, CARRYING COACHES
WITH IT-NO ONE HURT.

An accommodation train the Harlem River
branch Of the New-York, New-Haven and Hart
ford Railroad, which left New-Rochene at
o'clock yesterday afternoon for One-hundred-
ty-ninth-st., this city, was badly
wrecked just outside of New-Rochelle in a man
ner which the train crew is unable to explain.
The locomotive left the track and was over
turned. carrying the baggage car and three day
coaches with it. The and about forty pas
sengers. number of them golf players bound
for the Pelham and Westchester links, had mar
escapes
The accident occurred at network of switches
which connect the main and suburban lines of
the road about half a mile out of New-Ro-
chelle The train had just cleared the yards
and was going at the rate of twenty miles
hour when the locomotive suddenly jumped the
tracks and went tearing along the embankment
taking the signal wires with it. The coaches and
baggage car also left the rails and some of
tnem were thrown off their trucks Theodore
Burkhart and Michael O'Marley. engineer and
fireman, clung to their posts, and by putting on
the air brakes saved the train from rolling down
the embankment.
Inc locomotive and coaches tore along for a.
hundred yards before they could be stopped
and in the mean while panic reigned among
the passengers. Some of the women wanted to
raise the windows and leap out when they felt
the cars rocking, and others tainted. Hubert
reynolds, the conductor ran among them and
toid them to keep their seats The passengers
followed his advice, and. although some of them
were padly shaken up and bruised, nobody was
seriously hurt When the train was finally
Drought TO stop. the locomotive was backed
up against big signal board at the side of the
tracks and the coaches were scattered in a Zig
gag line behind it. One of them was lying on
lts side, and the others had windows broken and
were off their trucks.
The accident blocked the tracks on the east
oound side OF the road from Pelham to Port
chester, and caused much delay to local and
express trains. Freight traffic over the Harlem
River division entirely suspended until
evening, when wreckins crew from Harlem
cleared the tracks.
