Three Freight Cars Fall into the
River!
BY a dispatch received in this city yes
terday afternoon, says the Knoxville Press
and Herald of the Sd inst. we learn that a
railroad accident occurred to a freight
train on the East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad, at an early hour yesterday morn
ing.
The train was crossing the Wataugariver,
at Carters Station, - miles above Jones'
boro. The river at that point is very rapid,
and the bridge, a new one, about 100 yards
long, is so feet above the water.
The train was composed of an engine and
seven freight cars Through some cause,
the foremost freight Car ran off the track,
causing all the other cars to run of. The
first four cars remained on the bridge
but the other three after running on the
side of the bridge for some distance, finally
ran off and were precipitated in the river,
so feet below, dragging a great portion o.
the bridge into the stream.
Aid was at once procured and every efIort
made to repair the bridge and recover the
contents of the three cars.
