M., having beens delayed by the accident to the l first train up on the road did not go down until 3 P. M, and started on it's ] return with 35 passengers near five l o'clock. At the point named it came ] in collison with the Norwich and l Worcester way freight which left this ] city at five o'clock. The collision was
 sudden and fierce, throwing one en- zine down the bank, setting the other
 up on end and smashing things gen. orally in the fore part of the train.

 cident though four persons were more
 or less injured. 1 At an early hour Friday morning a l telegram was received in this city an 1 ncuncing the wreck of the steamer l Commodore of the Stonin gton- New
