RAILROAD ACCIDENT Yesterday morn
ing, about O'Clock, the passenger train
for Charleston ran into timber train of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, at the crossing of the South
Carolina Railroad, about one mile from
the depot. Two platform cars, load
with timber. attached to the freight
train, were demolished, the locomotive
of the passenger train upset and the
tender thrown from the track. Engineer
Sigwald and Express Messenger Giben-
rath were slightly hnrt. The track
being blocked up, passengers we're
forced to return to Columbia. It is
thought that the track will be clear by
this morning. Luckily the passenger
train was not under full headway-hav-
ing checked up on account of cattle
being on the track-or the result would
have been terrible. The freight train
was backing at the time, and cut near
the crossing hid it from the view of the
engineer of the South Carolina Railroad
| train.
