Accident on the B. & 0, R, R,
Two Men Injured, One
Fatally.
Bridge, Locomotive and Elk
Cars Destroyed.

Yesterday morning, about two
o'clock, as the Stock train west, drawn
by engine No. 727, bran new one, we
are told, was approaching the east end
of the bridge over the creek at Hoogan's
mill, some two miles east of Mounds
Vile, it ran over COW that was lying
on tie track. The engine and five or
Elk empty cars were thrown from the
track.
The engine tore down the bridge, one
similar to the new railroad bridge be-
low Main street, over Wheeling Creek,
and plunged down the embankment in-
to the creek taking the five or Elk
freight cars with her.
As the locomotive plunged down the
bank, the boiler shot forward and the
engineer, Thomas Parker, was caught
between the reversing bar and the end
OF tie cab, receiving injuries which will
probably result in his death. The fire.
man, Nicholas, was bsdly but not dan-
gerously injured, having his left hip
bone broken.
The injured men were cent at once to
their bones in this city, where every
cid possible WAS afforded them. Mr.
Parker has been uuconcious ever since
being injured. He lies on Main street,
over Bashor's meat shop.
Parties who past the wreck yester.
day, say that the bridge looks as il it
had undergone a heavy cannonading
for two or three hours, so broken is the
remaining wood work aud 30 twisted
and bent TIE iron.
1t WAS necessary to transfer passen-
gers and freight at this point yesterday,
but wreckers were at once set 10 work
and heavy force Of work men put on,
and it is thought the bridge will be
ready Tor the passage Of trains tonight
P.S.-Since writing the above we
have learned OF the death Of Mr.. Par
ker which occurred about eleven o'clock
last night. lie suffered intensely up
to the moment Of his demise.
