OFF THE TRACK-The Southbound train
on the Alexandria and Fredericksburg Rail
road, which left here at 4:55 yesterday
evening, was delayed about four hours by
an open switch which threw the engine of
the track. No one was hurt however. The
train was running at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour at the time Of the &C
cideut. The main track had been used dur
ing the afternoon by u freight train and the
switch had been turned in order to reach 81
side track in which condition it was left.
The switch o! the main track is of modern
patent, bringing the rails together so close
that it was impossible for the engineer to
discover the danger until too late to stop
the train. The engine and baggage car ran
into the side track, the switch of which was
also open, and were derailed, the engine
plougbiug up the cross ties and throwing up
a cloud of dust. A wrecking train from
Washington soon arrived, and between
nine and ten o'clock the engine and bag
gage car were placed on the track again
when the train proceeded on its way.
