Rail Road Accident:
]cliiors Coutier : -Gentlemen-On
Tuesday morning, the 18th inst., the
morning train from Petersburg to
Weldon, tmet with a terrible accident
the particulars of which are as fbIlows:
At about twenty.five miles from
Weldog, a passenger cur Was thrown
off the rails, the locomotive killing
two cows, which ran over tire lines just
when the tra'in cams along in speed,
before it could be stapped. The but.
tom of the car next to the baggage car,
broke literally into peices, and the
passengers, tell or twelve in number,
fell through it, all ht them bruised, and
their clothes torn into patches. One,
however, (lid not escape as well as his
fellow-suf'erers. Ile is an agent, of
Adaiiis' Express Cxanpany. His left
leg and arn, were entirely brokon, and
otherwise bruised very badly. The
Conductor was dragged along by the
detached locotmotive aid buggage eOprs
more than twenty yards, and miraceu
lously escaped, even without serious
bruises. The mian with his broken
limbs was sent back .to Petersburg;
whenul .,e saw hin he was very 'aim,
but le pressed his hiud to his head,
and said : I feel death is coming; There
was a physician ini the same car, who
tell also through. and he too, was seri
ously bruised. He had a young negro
boy. who was tied to the first seat near
thes llat~htrn who ainsi it~e of his fall
did not hart him at att.
It seems to us that the bnttoni of the
car was rottton. else it might have re
sisted the shoek, as we who were in
the next car to that one which broke,
seatcely felt the shock.
