son Route struck a landslide one and
one half miles east of here at 1880
o'clock Sunday night and the engine
went over a fifty foot embankment
followed by the baggage car and
smoker, all of which were overturned.
The day coach and two sleepers were
derailed, but remained in an upright
position.

of the Inflated train, was crushed to
death under the baggage car after he
had jumped from the engine. His body
was recovered and taken to Louisville
to-day.

gineer, escaped unhurt.
Five colored passengers from this
place and Lewisport we're badly cut
and bruised about the bodies, aud quiet
a number of other passengers we're
shaken up by the impact.
The landslide was encountered on a
sharp curve while the train which was
late, was running at high speed. Tons
of earth, loosened up by the frequent
rains, had fallen from bluff overlook

The track was torn up for a distance
of 400 feet and traffic will be delayed
