A letter received here last week by
the relatives of Mr.. Will Shelton, who
is known to many Of us, states that
his brother Jas. K. Shelton and J. r.
Allison, Of Waynesville, n. c., We're
killed on the II. &. G. and l.. railroad
lest Tuesday, at Lonesome Valley. The
accident was caused by the falling in
of trestle 500 feet long and l3j feet
high. The trest!e is said to have been
built of round, unseaSoned timbers,
which were strapped together. The
trestle had five tiers Of benches, which
gave way one at time. On the tres!le
were two weighty Baldwin engines
and q number Of cars heavily freight
ed.
The first alarming intimation Of dam
ger was the swapping aud crashing OF
timbers and the fall Of the engine and
train to the deck below, and then
plunge after plunge until the bottom
was reached. Allison the engineer, and
Shelton the firemen, who were killed,
were young married men, each leaving
a wife aud child. They are said to have
been excellent men in their habits and
department, and read their Bible and
had prayer regularly on ther train. In
addition to the killed were nine wound
ed, and but for the gradual descent OF
the train. it would nave been Il miracle
had any Of the crew escaped alive.
The engineer and tiremen were found
together in the cab where they so often
held pleasant converse. They must
have been instantly killed rs they Were
feariully scalded and bruised.
