Fatal Railroad Accident
   We learn from the Constitutionalist that an up freight train on the Georgia railroad ran off the track on Tuesday, at 3 1/2 o'clock, about three-fourths of a mile above Bel-Air, killing Mr. Marshall Wright, of Warren county, and burning two ladies and one gentleman. The cause of the accident was owing to the track being too wide.
