injuries.

East bound passenger train No.
SO on the Southern railway
which passes this city at 1859 a.
m, was wrecked at Mulberry
Tank, flag station thirty miles
east of Columbus about one
O'Clock last Thursday afternoon.
AT the point where the wreck oe-
cured there is trestle which is
between twelve and fifteen feet
in height, and the engine, tender,
baggage car, mail and express
car and one passenger car left
the track and were precipitated
to the ground below. By one of
those miracles for which there is
no possible explanation, however,
not single passenger was seri-
ously hurt, only a few negros who
were in the front coach having
been hurt and their injuries
are oy no means serious.
Though the passengers got off
very light, the members of the
train crew were not quite so for
tunate, Engineer Lindsay, of this
city, having been rather painfully
bruised while in the act Of Jump
ing to save his life, and Wylie
Jones, the negro fireman, who Is
also a resident of Columbus, hav-
ing received internal injuries of
rather serious nature. In
jumping from the cab Jones
strained some of his muscles very
severely, and his suffering has
been intense.
A soon as n ews of
the accident was wired to this
city a wrecker was sent out, and
the track was quickly cleared, the
west bound passenger train which
is due to pass Columbus at 5:25 p.
m. having been delayed only
about two hours by the wreck.
The injured d men were both
brought to this city, and are now
under the care of Drs. Davis &c
Crikler, the local surgeons of the
Southern.
