CONDUCTOR ON a RAILROAD Killed

.
The GAINESVILLE Patriot gives the follow
ing particulars of an accident which &C
CURED near that city:
A sad accident occurred on the Memphis,
Clarksville AMI Louisville railroad on
Saturday afternoon, resulting in the in-
slant death of one of the freight conduct
ors, Mr.. ]. T. O'Brien. As the north
bound freight train was passing under one
of the small bridges over Wells creek 3,
near Erin Station, OBrien was standing
on top Of one Of the cars, apparently I'M
conscious of his near approach, when he
was suddenly struck and fell between the
cara, FIVE of which ran over him. HIS
body WAS cut neatly in two, and his skull
and arm badly fractured. The result was
instant death. He was an excellent con-
ductor, much respected by those who knew
him, aud left a wife and many friends to
moan his loss.
This is the third person who has been
killed at this bridge. 1t is just high
enough for a train of cars TO psss under.
1t should be called the Bridge Of Death.

Stepping into McClures music store

in listening to music transmitted from the

communication. Mcclure and other musi-
cal spirits have been experimenting lately,
and expect in shorttime tolocate string
band in the store on Union street, and play
there for the accommodation of balls which
may take place in any of the country
towns. This is the age of science and
why rot music by telegraph succeed. His
wire nowis only about ninety feet in length,
and at that distance, with ceiling between,
We distinctly heard the music proceeding
from a small music box, by means CT his
telegram. Success to the new enterprise.
