UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.-On the 2d in
slant the temporary treStle on the west or
Arson county side Of the Pee Dee river
suddenly gave way and fell with trcmen-
douS crash. carrying with it about $40 feet
OF the permanent structure of the bridge
being built by the Wilmington, Charlotte,
and Rutherford Railroad Company.
At the time of the accident the contractor,
Mr.. Harvey, and number OF workmcn,
were on the bridge, and ofcourse went down
with it. Fortunately hone Of them were
killed by the accident. We regret to state,
however, that Nr. Harvey and one or two
others were severely injured. Mr.. Harvey
was wounded i'll the hip and arm and also
received il severe cash over his left eye ;
Oliver Savoy, wounded in the hip slightly !;
John Harris, severely wounded in the head
and was speeches. and jnscnahle for two
OF three hours after tl.c accident Francis
Smith. wonnt,cd in the hip slightly. All
OF the above are White men and natives OF
Virginia.
All the injured men have recovered sufii-
GENTLY to 90 to work with the exception OF
Mr. Harvey, who is still suffering considers
bly, from his wounds, though gradually inl-
proving.
We are informed thai The loss has been
estimated 1T about SIT, 900, and that the ac-
ciCl,iit will ncccssitate delay in the work
Of about four or five weeks. The accident
is attributed mainly to the heavy frcshet in
the river Wilmington star.
