Nine persons were killed and upward of fifty in- Jured by an accident to the Portiand express on the Boston and Maine Ratiroad at Haverhill, Mass, yesterday afternoon. The train, which consisted of seven cars, Was crossing the bridge over the Mer- rimac, between Bradford and Haverblil, at a high rate of speed, when the cars left the rails and crashed into the water-tank house at the end of the bridge, In this house a number of section hands were eating dinner. Mr. John O’Brien, a retired merchant of Bradford, was talking with the section hands and was killed, together with Wm. Taylor, one of the laborers. John Madden, another railroad hand, was with them. He was injured and will probably die. The car that crasued into the tank-house knocked the founda tion out, letting the heavy tank down upon the car, crushing through the top of the car and doing fearful work within. The next car behind tele scoped the car auead of it, adding to the havoc. The killed and wounded were mostly in those two cars The people in the smoker had a fearful expe- rience.
