PLUNGED DOWN A BANK.
A Passenger Train wrecked ut Bax-
terViIle,

A terrible railway accident occurred
Tuesday afternoon on the Salem branch
of the d & II. r. R., from the results
of which several will probably die.
Many others are seriously wounded.
From the best information obtainable,
It would seem that the acc ident occurred
just as the train rounded the curve.
when the first passenger coach left the
rail and bumped along on the ties for
about Is or 20 feet before it rolled over
down the bank. As 1t did so it dragged
the last car of the train with it. Then
the baggage car, forced from the track
by the erratic course of the passenger
coaches. careened on the opposlse side
OF the track, carrying with it the tender
of the locomotive, which broke loose
easily. The locomotive itself was left
on the track; and there was no obstruc-
tion whatever to travel, save one rail
that was bent and twisted by the wheels
as they left the track. The train was
going at a speed of % miles an hour.
