| The Liberty Gazette says that
the Texas & New Orleans company have now four engines on their
road. |
| The Gazette has a railroad
accident. It says: |
| Two cars, filled with
passengers -- men, women and children -- ran off the track on the west
side of the river, on Wednesday last, completely upsetting in a deep
water hole. Fortunately, no damage was done except the frightening of
the ladies and the complete drenching of the passengers. |
| Ten years ago who would have
imagined there would ever be a railroad accident in Liberty? |
