Railroad accident.

--The passengers by the city railway were subjected yesterday, about 10 o'clock, on Main, between 13th and 14th streets, to the hazards of an accident which luckily proved detrimental to nothing but one of the ear wheels, which, owing to some unexplained cause, collapsed its fair proportions, and, as a natural consequence, stopped the engine (horse.) and considerably jolted the passengers. The car being thus rendered incapable of locomotion, remained as an effectual barricade for half an hour or more, when it was removed and another similar vehicle substituted in its place. Damage slight.
