Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which
left here at S:S o'clock this morning two
minutes late. was wrecked near Oxmoor.
i've and one-half miles south of this city.
The engine, mail and baggage cars were
wrecked and the first coach was derailed.
Fortunately no one was killed or seriously
injured. Three messengers were handling
mail in the first car following the engine,
c. L. Hughes, ]. N. Chamberlain and j.
M. johnson. and all of them were more or
less hurt. Engineer John Berry was at
the throttle and he stuck to the engine
until 1t turned over on its side. He re-
ceived a sprained wrist. His fireman,
Dick Love. colored. jumped from the en-
CINE and his shoulder was dislocated.
The engine went astride the tracks and
then turned over and the mail and bag
gage cars were overturned. That part of
the train which was not derailed was
brought back to Birmingham until track
could be constructed around the wreck.
At 1880 O'Clock the train proce sdsd on its
vas southwark. None of the passengers
was injured beyond a shaking up. There
were several Englishmen aboard en- route
TO Mobile. 1t is stated these men have
been purchasing mules for the English
Government and were ordered to desist
the work and were en- their way home.
The train was solid vestibule. hence
the fact that there was no fatality. The
injured mail messengers were attended
by physician at Oxmoor though a spe-
cial train with physicians from here went
TO the scene shortly after the accident
occurred.
