AS the fast train on the Central Rail-

this morning, car, which had been left
on the track, was pushed with such force
as to lift it from the track and throw il
against the ticket office, doing consider
able damage, but hurting no one. The
ticket agent was badly frightened, and

knew exactly the length of his tram and
when to stop, bat being unconscious Of
the extra car on the track, and for
which he had made no calculation,
he came back too far, causing the acci-
dent. The train was not delayed, but left
on time for Savannah. This is the second
accident of this kind since the depot has
been built. Some years ago an engine
became unmanageable and ran into the
ticket office, leaving a depression on the
wall.
