SeriouS Railroad Accident.-Yes,erd after
noon, while the CarroIlton car was coming down
Nayades street and nearing Calliope street, boy
in attempting to climb one of the sde-steps of the
car, missed the step and fell in such position that
the wheel of the car passed over Of his legs
Immediately below the knee, crushing and acera-
ting that part Of the limb. The boy is nine years
Of age, and a son of Mr.. Finley of I hala street,
between Nayades and Apollo streets. In the
evening the amputaton of the limb, near the knee,
was performed by DR.. Harral, assisted by another
Surgeon. The little sufferer is stout, healthy
boy, and has thus hal an important aid to his
future usefulness cut of.
While number of accidents have occurred on
the Lafayette and Carrollton Railroad, in which
the drivers Of the have been, at least sus,
peced of carelessness or indifference to life, we are
glad to learn that, in this instance, no blame i.
attempted to be imputed The wonder to any on,
accustomed to travel that road is that many more
accidents do not occur from the constant habit o
