A terrible and fatal accident occurred yesterday, just before dark, at the junction of the Third and Fourth avenues, by which a young boy was instantly killed and several other persons considerably injured. It appears that one of the cars owned by the Adams Express Company, running on the Harlem, and New-Haven Railroad, was coming flown Fourth-avenue at a rapid pace, and just as it reached the switches crossing the track, at the junction of Third-avenue with Fourth-avenue, near Fifth-street, a Third-avenue horse car was crossing the track. Before either driver could check their respective cars a collision was the result, when the Third-avenue car was completely demolished by the overpowering weight of the railroad car.
