Gen. Wickham arrived at the White Sulphu

ed to have been caused by the breaking of
wheel In the front truck of the coach which
fell down the bank The train was passing
over an upward grade of $50 feet per mile, at
speed of about six miles per hour. The trail
had crossed over the tressle work at Jerry
Run, and had the accident occurred ten feet OIL
either side of the point where it did happen
no fatal consequence would probably have fol
lowed The accident did not, therefore, resul
from the pressure of the rear engine.
The car happened to fall into ravine, which
is not as wide at that point as the length of
