         The Railroad Accident at Blissfield -
         
         The employe who was injured by the accident to the
       cars yesterday morning at Blissfield died this morning
       at three o'clock. His name was A. L. HOBART. He was
       baggageman on the train, and, when the usual signal
       of danger was given by the engineer, he, with every
       employe on the train, jumped for the brakes. HOBART
       had just got on to the platform of the last car when
       they were thrown from the track. Three of his ribs
       were broken, and it is thought they punctured his
       lungs, as he bled considerably from the wind-pipe.
       He leaves a wife, and a son seven or eight years
       old, in this city. The corpse was taken on board
       the cars this afternoon, to be conveyed to Syracuse,
       N.Y. for interment.
