Accident on the Jackson Railroad  {New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern RR}
   Yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, the up and down passenger trains of the Jackson Railroad came in collision at Kenner station, which resulted in a general smashing up of locomotives and baggage cars, a grand fright among the passengers, but, by a miracle, nothing more. We have not been able to learn the cause of this accident, and cannot understand how it should have been allowed to occur.
