A Strange Collision.

A few days ago a very strange collision occurred between the schr. M. O'Gorman and a locomotive on the K. & P.R.R. The engine struck the vessel about amidship scattering her deck load of shingles in all directions. The vessel was not wrecked though considerably injured. The Captain of the O'Gorman asserts that he was on the right track and that he had his lights out. The engine was happily not forced off her track.
