THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
[Pro Pb«bs Association.] INVEBCARGILL, June 23." There were eight passengers on the tram from Lumsden on Saturday, when the engine was derailed, through running over a cow. They and the driver got off safely, but the fireman, Angus Cameron, got entangled in making a jump, and suffered a nasty twist, although no bones were broken. He also was struck on his head and back by lumps of coal, but the injuries are not serious. Two trucks were derailed, and the line was ripped up for twenty yards. Prompt steps were taken for the resumption of traffic. The same engine ran down a horse a few weeks ago, and was lifted off the rails, but camo to a standstill over the carcase. Some cattle have also lately been killed between Eiverton and Orepuki.
