The Liberator

Fearful Railroad Accident. On Thursday evening, 16th inst., the mail train from the West went down an embankment at Beaver Meadow Brook, six miles from Syracuse, demolishing the engine, tender, baggage car, and three passenger cars, and killing and wounding the following persons:—

Miss Brown, of Toronto, dead.

E. Clinton Bronson, Westfield, Ct., fatally wounded. [Since dead.]

John Oaksbury, rib broken, of Vermilyea, Jefferson county.

E. Pettinger, emigrant baggage master, collar bone broken.

R. Iaslup, engineer, bruised and arm scalded.

Fireman, badly bruised.

Mr. DeForrest, of New Haven, Conn., arm broken.

A cold, heavy rain was falling at the time of the accident, and the passengers were obliged to break up and burn one of the cars to keep themselves warm until relief reached them.

Miss Brown was a daughter of George Brown, Esq., editor of the Montreal Globe. She was drowned in the car. She was in company with her father en route to England. He escaped with a few slight injuries.

A lady of a former pastor of the Washington Avenue, Methodist Church (we were unable to learn his name,) is among the slightly injured.
