AN ACCIDENT.
At Ashburton, Guard Fowke, in charge of the Royal train, while boarding, missed his footing, but caught the guard-iron, and hung on. At the en-gine-shed crossing his foot caught in the cattle stop, and his shoes were torn off. The Hon. Hill Trevor, Sir Joseph Ward, and Lord Criehton came to his assistance, and pulled him aboard. The train was stopped by the signal cord. No serious injuiy was sustained by Fowke, who was more concerned about the stoppage of the train than about his shaking and bruises.
