FATAL RAILROAD AccIDEsr.-Mr. WIN. Maghec,
citizen of Peersrurg and delegate from that city to
the Bristol on,enton, We regret TO state, met sud-
den and awful death al Liberty yesterday. The
circumstances in connection with the sad occurrence
substantially rs follows; The train usual stop
ped Il, Liberty few minute to take in wood and
water when Mr. NJ, with other passengers got out
the platform in front Of Hopkins Hotel From some
cansc or other he went below the platform. from
which point he attempted to get the train after il
had started but did not succeed In getting
the lower step of the car before he came in
contact with the platform which Is almost par
alel with the floor of the cars. He still
retained his hold the rail of the steps and in this
position was whirled around in space not more than
inches wide for distance of some 30 feet The train
was then stopped, when portion of the plat
form had to be sawed away in order to ex
treatc his mangled body. There were on the
train eight other delegates from Peters
burg, all 81 whom returned to this city last
evening with the corpse of their late friend and as
soctte and will proceed with it TO his late home this
morning. Mr. Maghee was gentleman most highly
esteemed by those who enioyed ms acauaintance
and he leaves, we understand highly interesting
family who are thus suddenly plunged in the deepest
distress by this strangely affective dispenSntion of
Providence Some Of Mr. Ms family connections,
we understand reside in this city. They have the
snc"rcst coincidence of our entire community.
