DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE

 A deplorable accident occurred yesterday after' roon at the railroad crossing corner of Broadway and Colonie st., as the western train was passing down. The circumstances are as follows:

 Geo. Wilson, of Cohoes viiingc, keeper of live. rv stable at that place, was driving up Broadway with his carriage, hack, containing MT. Jacob Anthony. keeper of the Cohoes Hotel, his wife, a Mr. Lyman, of Rochester, and his wife and child. When near the railroad crossing, and, as we learn after the alarm had been rung he showed dlsposi- tion to drive across.

 The man stationed there to keep people and ve- hicles off and to sweep the crossing, raised hls broom, and by every gesture in his power to make, warned Wilson to stop. Half dozen other per- sons also shouted to him 10 stop, but, strange to say, he drove up. The catastrophe was terrible. The carriage was struck nearly in the centre of the side by the locomotive, and instantly thrcwn over. MT. Anthony, seeing the danger, jumped out an In- stant before the collision, and saved himself Mrs. Anthony, in attempting to do so. fell across the track. The engine, tender, and three or four cars passed directly over her body, nearly severing t in two! Her death--unfortunate woman! was awful and instantaneous. The carriage, half shattered tc pieces, was showed along in front of the locomotive nearly forty rods before the cars were stopped MT. Lyman was then found between the engine and the carriage, not killed, but severely bruised and gashed about the head, and also bruised in the breast. Mrs. Lyman and the child escaped unhurt

 Mrs. Anthony was taken into tho house of Mr. Simons, on Broadway, where she was laid out and where the coroner's inquest was held, which re. suited in a verdict of censure upon no one!! Mr. Lyman was also carried in there, and his wounds were dressed by Drs. Quackenbush and Hall.

 One of the horses was killed-the other not hurt

 The blame of this transaction rests upon Wilson. the driver. The cars were proceeding at their nsu- al rate, and every warning was given him to keep back.-.A'b0ay Citizen, Aug 22. ,.. ..
