\ , xx ‘~ A A terrible accident Q $m rred ea rly yesterday morning a t W e s t Albany, or gpeijcerville, some jgwo m iles an d a h a lf w e s t of th e city.,, A frq ig % ^nft, Cgtt/lfe tr a in was being sw itched .Off' th e trap k to allow th e Cleveland Express to _pa43S, w hen a coupling broke, leaving-two jfe th re e of th e last cars standing, upon m a in track. Before these; could be moved, th e ExpresS'^aii^cdirie'.ih sight', a n d notw ithstanding’tlie reversing of th e engine a collision ensued—j-thc engine a n d tender were piled upon th e ,c a ttle tr a in , several ca rs ■ w eresm ash ed , -and-a num ber of persons injured, one fatally, a n d another ip stan tly killed. Tho E ngineer; J o m r P r a tt, w as crnsli- . e d to death b y the tender. Franklin; Carter, tho Fireman,was te r- rib ly brhised about the thighs a n d back, one-'ttm ~ c tn r bffytfti’d’ teg broken. He survived u n til a b o u t noon. -W illiam H.

Such qloso w ork is not safe, nO rdo \yq th in k th e tim e tnblcs.of the com pand require so groat a risk. E ith e r thfyfijqight train should h o t have left S didbecfndy, if behind time, as was said t q b o th o case, or the passenger train should have been run w ith more caution. S o far as we arc nhlo to judge, wo can b u t reg ard the course of the enginoor of th e txprosSj,train, in running a t the rato h o did, during so denso a fog, and know? in g th a t the ca ttle train was behind timO.ns extrem ely reckless. 'B ut the poor -m a n has paid the forfeit of his life for his action, however culpable or justifiable it m ay have been ; \and words of sorrow and regrot seem more appropriate than o f Censure.
