Sad Accident-
On Friday last a sad accident, and one which is feared will prove fatal, occurred to one of our citizens, Daniel Adams, at Rochester. Mr. Adams is a carpenter and was employed on the bridge of the Central railroad over the river at Rochester. The Union says; " three locomotives were moving eastward nearly abreast of each other, when he attempted to remove one or two women, who were near being run over, from danger, when his right foot was caught between two rails, when a locomotive, 108, passed over it, breaking the bones of his leg just below the knee, and crushing the foot horribly. As he fell his left leg went under the wheels and the bones of that were terribly broken. He then fell to a sub platform, which had been erected for the water pipes to rest upon, and received a severe wound on his head." He was immediately removed to St Mary's Hospital, and has since had the best of medical aid. His right leg has been amputated, and the other will have to be when he recovers, if he ever does, sufficient strength to bear the operation. The injured man is the father of Mr. E Adams, the Central railroad telegraph operator at Batavia station.
