TRAIN OFF TIE TRACK on O1rER Rp,nor
Yesterday morning just before the gray
dawn OF day an accident, happened to
freight train No. s, Conductor Sumpter, on
the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, while
it was passing the bridge over Big Otter
river, which narrowly escaped being at
! tended with most tragic and terrible con-
sequences. When the head of the train,
| which consisted of eleven cars, was nearing
the end Of the bridge, the engine began to
move more rapidly, and brake becoming
accidentally loosened, fell on the wheel Of
one of the cars, checking its revolutions
and causing tito be flung from the track.
As the train was now moving quite ra'
pidly, four other cars were also thrown
from the rails, on the bridge, at distance
of from sixty to one hundred feet from the
river and ground below. Two of the cars
were precipitated from the bridge, and fell
from that height with terrific crash
They were dashed into pieces below. One
of them was loaded with cotton, the other
with twenty head of cattle, of which eigl-
teen were killed outright. The other two
were dreadiully mangled, and soon after
wards died. Fortunately, no human being
was involved in this fatal fall.
Three other cars, loaded with cattle, were
left on the bridge, off the rails, and SO
damaged and deranged that it was found
extremely difficult to remove them or their
contents. The mail train in consequence
Of this obstruction was delayed yesterday
two hours and half. We are informed
that the track was not entirely clear last
night.-Lyachturg Republican, 5th.
