SERIOUS RAILROAD Acc1DEYT-SEvERAi
PERSONS BADLY HuRT.- Yesterday morning
an accident occurred to the eastern-bound
passenger train of the Virginia and TEN
nessee railroad by which several persons
were badly, and others slightly hurt, but
fortunately none WE'RE killed or dangerous
ly injured. Tho accident occurred three
miles east Of nuTord's, the sleeping-car
being precipitatsd down an embankment
twelve feet high, and turning over as 1t went
doWh. TIE LADIES' coach was also thrown
from the track and jcrkcd loose froiii the
trucks, but did not 90 over the embank-
ment. One end of this car remained OIL the
track, While the other projected over the
bank.
MIR. John L. Lyon, temporarily acting as
conductor Of tho sleeping car, was very
badly bruised about, the face. and received
der, and was also somewhat hurt about the
back. His injuries were the most severe OF
any, though they are not considered dam
gerous.
Mrs. Beattie, from near Glade Spring, and
Nader BiggS, Esq, of Norfolk, We're also
very badly bruised and scratched. but we
are pleased to learn not seriously hurt.
Mr.. Is. IL. Stoner, from near Buford's, was
thrown violently against the stove, and was
burned about the face; and
some seven or eight others; whose names we
could not ascertain, were more or less hurt,
generally slightly.
The berths in the sleeping-car were
broken to pieces, but the car itself did not
otherwise receive much damage. The fire
i'll the stove In this car was scattered about
in all directions, and communicated to some
of the bedding and clothing in the car, but
it was extinguishcd before it had attained
much Roadway. The ladies' coach, we are
informed, is but slightly damaged.
The accident was caused by Il broken rail,
and it is extremely fortunate, from the
character Of the ground 1T which it occurred,
that tic Casualties were not VI It rsrn"h more
