Serious Railroad Observation-Disclosures Alb.
sence of Fatal Results.

Wilmington, N. c., September 27.-
Three cars OF the down express train on
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad ran
off the track between Everettsville and
Dudley last night. The ladies' car and
sleeping car were precipitated down an
embaniment, the former turning upside
down. A considerable number of passen-
gers were slightly, and two or three Sc
verely, injured, but none dangerously.
Those who are most severely wounded are
here, and the physicians express the opn-
ion that they will all soon recover. The
accident is supposed to have been caused
by broken rail. The absence of fatal re-
suits is considered almost miraculous. The
sleeping car fell over trestle-work about
twenty feet into the stream below.
