The first through train from Port Moody, as announced in our last issue, arrived here all right. Friday morning the train left to return to Port Moody; there were a number of empty flat cars, and a caboose in rear, occupied by Messrs. Phillips and Aaron Lewis (the former having been laid up here for a few months from an accident was going to his home at Victoria, accompanied by his brother who came up after him,) Dr. McLeod, of New Westminster, Mr. J.T. Scott, of Port Moody, Mr. Simons, of the Railway office, Yale; all went well until about 2 p.m., at which time the train had reached a hundred yards or so west of Ferny Coome, (Agasiz's,) Station, when while running at the rate of twelve miles an hour, as stated to us, two of the cars in front of the caboose jumped the track, and the caboose tumbled off the running part and was pitched upon the field upon its side—the roof, dropping off, the inmates were all landed in the open air, excepting Mr. Simons, who was evidently upon the lookout and jumped from the back-door for dear life. The engine was checked by the extra drag in the rear. Some of the agents were considerably alarmed and more or less injured; Mr. Scott, we learn, had his head cut in two or three places, but he is expected to soon recover. Master Mechanic Armstrong, who was upon the engine, ran back expecting to find a very serious state of affairs, and rendered all the service in his power. The unfortunates were taken upon the train and the wrecked caboose, etc., soon left behind.

Considerable speculation is indulged in as to what could have caused the accident at such a place, and at the speed the train was said to be moving. It is quite evident more than ordinary care is required in running trains along the line of Railway. All parties alluded to above as passengers in the caboose have good reason to feel thankful that they escaped having been crippled or killed. We now understand Superintendent Haney has put a stop to the Railway "passenger business," until the road is in better condition.
