Accident on n. Z 0. RAILROAD.


Referring to the accident which oc-
Cured on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
last Wednesday one week ago. the Mems
phis appeal says
On Wednesday morning, about ten
inmates past nine o clock, an accident
occurred on the Mobile and Ohio rail-
road occasioned by the collision Of two
passenger trains, near Rutherford Sta-
ton. BY which q negro man had both
legs broken, and seven white persons
were more OF less bruised IL appears
that the northern express train was forty
FIVE minutes behind time when it pulled
out of Rutherford at nine O clock, and
beng, by the rules Of the road, entitled
to the road, no apprehensions were felt
by the conduct r that ne would got
through safe to where the southern mail
train, be supposed was waiting for him.
lie therefore left Ruther ord confdent-
ly, and being behind time, made rapid
progress almost from the time Of starts
ing. The train had made about five
miles from Rutherford, had emerged
from curve and reached a steep en-
bankment upward of thirty feet in hight,
when the mail train came in sight from
another curve. 1t will be seen that 1t
was Impossible that either engineer could
be aware of the approach of the other
until on this embaAku6e Mt, which is a
short stretch Of straight road NOtwith-
standing the engines were reversed the
/ brakes were put down, and every effort
made to prevent IL, the trans came to
gether with a thunder clap, destroying
both engines partially, telescoping the
baggage and first passenger-car Of both
trains, and yet, singular to relate, not a
car was moved from the track. The ne
gro man who had both legs almost cut off
was in the foremost passenger car of the
northern tram The accident occurred
about ten minutes after nine . clock
/ The northern train consisted of a bag
! gage-car, two sleeping and two passenger
! coaches; and the southern of one bag
gage, one sleeping and two passenger
coaches. OF course the passengers were
: considerably Shook up and very much
