Road thrown from the track.
Clarksburg News.
At about 10 o'clock this Friday
morning, the town was made wild
with excitement by report that sew
eral persons had been killed in a
wreck ON the Weston road. In a
short time all the horses and vehicles
in town were engaged. A represen-
tative of the Necs pocketed a quire
of paper and through the kindness OF
Hon. John j. Davis was swiftly driv-
en- to the scene.
AS No. train leaving Clarksburg
at S:15 a. M, going to Weston was
just entering on the trestle at Wal
decks place above Hoff's cut, over
two miles from town, the passenger
car pulled off the track. The train
was not stopped, and the passenger
coach together with the gondolas and
a house car were precipitated over
the trestle. The passenger car in
verified itself, and struck on the top,
MASKING it in and almost wrecking
the car. AS near as we could learn,
about twenty passengers were aboard,
including some six or seven ladies.
Sam Steel, engineer; Jack Crogan,
fireman and Ben jackson, baggage
master, all escaped, jackson jumping
from from the train Word was i'm
mediately communicated to Clarks-
burg, and all the physicians in town
were soon on the ground. Ready
and willing people repaired to the
scene in carriages and buggies with
medicines, aids and nurses. Owing
to the excitement and suffering of
the injured ones, the information OBJ
tainable was limited. The suffering
of q. G. Carry, supposed to be from
Richmond, Virginia, was heart rem
dering in the extreme. He was
handsome young man apparently
about twenty-eight or thirty years of
age, and from what could be learned
was in some way connected with the
Exchange Hotel, Richmond. After
nearly three hours of excruciating
pain he died at 11:30. He was not
conscious at any time. The body
was conveyed to the st Charles and
Richmond people notified by tele-
graph.
The suffering of others was so ter
rible that many went away sick. Most
of the injured ones seemed to be hurt
internally.
So far as could be learned the
names and injuries received were as
follows:

hurt that he could not move and had
to be sent home to Weston on the

that the cars ran at least sixty yards
