FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
(TRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
DUNEDIN, May 16. Two engines collided in tho railway yards last night at about eleven o'clock. One of tho engines was travelling backwards in tho direction of the sheds, and the other was moving ahead to tho platform. The tender of the first engine hit the corner of the second engine, which was a small one, crushing the tender in against tho firebox and boiler, and terribly mutilating David Donovan, the fireman, who must have been killed instantaneously. Tbo driver escaped injury It is not clear how the accident happened, as both engines carried lights. Donovan was a married man with ono young child.
