| Fatal Accident |
| As the down train, from Columbia {South
Carolina RR}, was starting from Orangeburg yesterday, Mr.
Jefferson Fogle, a volunteer for the war in Col. Hagood's Regiment,
attempted to jump aboard, but, unfortunately, missed his footing, and
was crushed to death beneath the wheels, in the presence of his mother
and sister, who were at the depot to witness his departure. |
