Yesterday afternoon, as the express train
on the Peoria, Oqnawka and Burlington Rail
road, due here a quarter to two o'clock, was
crossing the bridge just beyond Hale's mill,
about five miles out, the baggage and pas
senger cars were thrown from the track and
dragged some seventy yards over the timber
and trestle work, before the train could be
stopped. There were some thirty passengers
abo lrd, whose escape from death was most
miraculous. Every seat in the car was made
wreck. Only one passenger, an aged gen
tlelnan from near Knoxville, Mr.. James Daw-
son, was seriously injured. lie was bruised
internally, and was brought to this city and
taken to the Buckeye House.
