Tuesday night the up passenger train, which left
this place at three o'clock, came in contact with a
freight train at Joyner's Depot. The freight train
was on the turn -out-the switch had been altered, it
is supposed intentionally, which caused the passen-
ger train to run on to the turnout, causing the col
lison. negro brakeman, known as Sterling
Pontan, had his leg fractured. The Locomotives
are somewhat injured. We do not know the exact
amount of damage. The switch tender is evidently
in fault--whether through carelessness intention
we cannot say
