EE The editor of the Iowa City
Reporter says that a serious accident occurred
on Wednesday forenoon last, upon the trestle
work Of the NJ. d NJ. Railroad. by which three
men were considerably injured. The accident
occurred through the breakage Of some por-
tion the tackling by which they we're hoist
ing q chord and braces to their place. thus
letting tinbers and men promiscuously down
some twelve or fifteen feet, and throwing a
man named John Lloyd who was at the wheel
above, clear from the top of the work twenty
five or thirty feet, stunning him pretty effect
ually, but not otherwise seriously injurirg him
As it was the matter was bad enough, but it
is somewhat astonishing that the men escaped
as they did and that no others were caught in
the formidable trap.
The three other men hurt, were Mr.. L. D.
Thomas, recently faom Butler Co. in this State,
whose knee was badly sprained.
Mr. Mosier had two ribs and an arm broken
and was otherwise injured. We were told that
his recovery is quite doubtful.
Mr.. Pierce was stunned and supposed to be
killed at the time. but revived in about fifteen
minutes. and is now walking about.
On Thursday another man. whose name we
did not learn. also fell from the work, and was
badly injured in the back and head.
