AN ACCIDENT.

A work train on the main line of
the Mississippi Central Railroad be-
came unruly when it reached Carson,
80 miles west of Hattiesburg, shortly
after 3 o'clock this morning, bucked
and kicked for awhile, and finally
leaped from the steel rails and went
journeying down the crossties for a
distance of something like 800 feet
before the engineer could stop her.
There was no damage except to a
few crossties, but traffic at that point
was tied up for some time as a conse-
quence. The Hattiesburg-bound pas
senger train, which left Natchez this
morning, and which was due here at
noon, was forced to stop at the wreck
age, and transfer its passengers, the
baggage and the mails to another
train which had been sent out from
Hattiesburg to meet it. The passen-
gers were three hours and 25 minutes
late as result.
