THE RECENT RAILROAD DISASTER
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT--WoNDERF
EscAPE.-On Sunday morning last, we
paid visit to the scene of the recent
fatal disaster, on The Greenville and Co.
lumbia Railroad 4; and after careful ex-
animation, IN company with several ex-
perienced railroad men, unoonnectcd
with the company, we are forced to the
conclusion that the accident resulted
from the breaking of wheel on the
sender; and that the company is not in
the least blameable. AS the broken
tender fell upon the trestle, it caught in
the cross-ties, dragged and smashed the
tImbers, and the cars crowding forward.
the whole structure gave way with a
sudden crash. precipitating a stock car,
tloaded with nineteen head of cattle
baggage and express car, second class and
first class passenger cars into the chasm.
The forward truck of ono of tho new
hrst-class coaches went over, and the end
OF the car stuck into the ground; but
owing to its great strength, it was only
broken, and remained wedeed.
preventing the rear passenger car from
going over, and thus, doubtless, saving
the lives OF many of the passengers. The
sudden jerk threw the locomotive off the
track just beyond the trestle. Passen-
gers on board state that the train was
running at the ordinary speed, before
reaching the trestle, and they feel posi-
tive, that speed was decreased. The
wood with which the trestle was built.
was examined and found in good order,
and all. with fbo ovoant;on e H.
