An accident happened to the early goods train from Camara to Timaru this morning. As the Oamaru train was backing with eight empties on to the main line to make up, a special train from Ngapara dashed into her, smashing the third waggon from the engine, and disabling six others. The driver and stoker of the special had a narrow escape, as also did six passengers in the train. The engine of the goods train and the men had a narrow escape, as in another half minute the special engine would have been on to the goods engine. It is supposed that owing to the steep gradient the engineer was unable to pull up his train in time to avoid a collision. This morning the passenger train from the South, when near St. Andrews, killed a horse on the line. For Innately the cow catcher caught and cleared the obstruction.
