The Mail Car Disaster.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark of Friday
gives the following additional particulars Of
The burning of the mail car on the railroad
between that city and Petersburg Thursday
last. 1t says The mail train from Peters,
burg, which arrived here at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, brought the news of q yery
serious accident which occurred on the pass
age down. The train left Petersburg at 3.O5,
T.. nj :, and when about eight miles below the
city the mail agents, two colored men named
e. l.. Jones and - Jennings, were appris-
ed of the terrible fact that their car was on
fire by the falling in of portion OF the roof
One Of them sprang to the bell-cord to sound
the alarm, but found Ii had been burned Of.
- At this discovery The full truth OF their ap-
palling situation burst upon them. Confined
In small room with no means of egress ex-
cept through the doors cut in the side, and this
means rendered unavailable with the train in
motion, from the fact that neither platform
or railsag led to other portions o. the car. The
fierce cracking of the fire, famed into great
er fury by the speed of the train, which was
rushing along at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, and with no means to sound an alarm, o
terrible death stared them in the face. Tore
main In the. car was to be burned up by the
roaring flames, and to leap from the train was
almost certain death. The heat at last Became
insupportable, their hands and faces were
scsrched, so, seizing the only remaining alter.
native, they leaped from the train.
Upon reaching WaYeriy station the disaster
was discovered. A search was made for the
agents, who not being found, the remains of
the car were De ached and the train ran back
over the route until 1t reached the place where
they jumped off. Both were found alive but
seriously injured, Jones' left arm is broken
above the wrist, and he is badly bruised. Jen-
ning's right shoulder was dislOcated, besides
receiving numerous bruises on different parts
Of the body. They were brought 10 this city
and taken to the custom house, and DR.. Ward
summoned, who rendered the necessary sur
gical and medical aid:
The burned car was next to the engine, and
was DIVIDED into two compartments, the for.

fire was caused by sparks from the engine
