MRr^DTT?s: On last Saturday evening
at the arrival of the passenger train at the
Savannah Valley Depot, in this citv, a se
rlous accident occurred, hy which a hu
man being lost his life. It may be said
that it was only a negro boy, who had no
business at the Depot, anyway, and that
if be had not been there the accident
would not have occurred. Let that be as
i it may. butlt could have been a white boy
and one ot my sons or yours, and tben it
would have been a very different matter.
There was a coroner's inquest held over
the body by a jury composed of whites
and blackp, and, as I understand, a ver
dict returned exonerating the Railroad
from any blame, that the acoldent was
unavoidable by those in charge of the
train. Doubtless the jury gave their ver
dict honestly according to the testimony
which was brought before them, bat, Mr.
Editor, I am afraid they were not appris
ed of the manner in which the train was
brought up to the depot on that particu
lar evening. Every one who is familiar
with the three tracks at this depot must
remember that the main line, as lt is call
ed, or centre track, has a track on each
side, with the switch Borne distance below
the depot, at th? bottom of a grade ap
proaching. The tracks run so dos? to
each other that when there are cars on one
track and cars on tbe other, not much
room is left between for tho accommoda
tion of passengers in getting off, much
less for any one who should meet the
train. And on this particular evening the
eugine steamed in and dropped the
coaches on the grade below the s witch aod
{>roceeded at a quicker pace up the maia
iae over the switch, dropped a switoh
man, who turned the .coaches in on the
side track, running with sufficient mo
mentum to carry them up to the depot,
j on the track next to the platform, the co
pino having gone on up the main line.
Now this placed the coaches next to the
platform, too high 'o step up on without
difficulty, consequently the passengers
were getting off of the coach at the lower
end of tho depot building, and it was
there that this boy was standing watch
ing the passengers arrive and get down
between the tracks, the one upon which
the coaches were and the main line upon
whicb the engine was. It goes without
saying that the boy was in tbe way of the
engine, either standing on the end of a
cross-tie, ur upon the iron of the maia
track, for aa the engine came back down
the said track, this, too, while the passen
gers were still petting oat of the coaches,
the boy was struck by the teoder aod
knocked down and crushed before the
engine could stop. Now, Mr. Editor, I
do not write this to bring about a prose
cution of any one for criminal careless
ness, but to point out the danger of al
lowing passenger trains to be brought up
to the depot io this manner. Every one
kaows that they are usunllv run upon
the maia liae, a tached to the engine, and
the passengers allowed to alight beiore
the engine moves again, and tbia should
be required by those in authority to be
observed alway?, and such dreadful acci
dents will hereHf er bo avoided. I did
not see the accident, but believe these are
facts in the case, and deem them of suf
ficient importance to be called to the at
tention of those in authority, whose duty
it is to look after the protection of the
lives of its citizens CITIZEN*.
