AND EAST CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND NEWS. NO. 440 - Eighth Week in Quarter Registered for Transmission ABroad. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1874. PRICE 1D. =========================================== ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN. TWO LIVES LOST. A serious accident occurred yesterday morning to the limited mail near to Euxton Station, south of Preston. It appears that a goods train and a coal train were both brought to a stand still by some wagons that had got detached from a train which had been shunting, and whilst thus on the line, the mail train dashed into the coal train with fearful velocity. The engine driver and stoker were both killed, and a number of persons were seriously injured, among whom was the guard - a man named HARRISON, whose father resides in Penrith. The wreck was fearful, and it was many hours before the line was cleared for traffic. The train which ran into the coal train was due to pass Penrith about four o'clock in the morning, but it did not pass till about ten o'clock, in consequence of which the delivery of letters throughout the town and postal district was correspondingly delayed.
