| Shocking Railroad Accident |
| The down passenger train on the Georgia
Railroad Sunday evening ran over two women at the crossing near
Harrisonville, both of which were killed. We learn that they were the
wife and daughter of Mr. Oliver Jones factory operatives, who were on
the track when they saw the train approaching and were endeavoring to
reach the crossing before the train came up. The engineer blew the
whistle as a warning, but it is supposed they got bewildered and thus
remained on the track to meet with a shocking death. Mrs. Jones was
killed instantly, and the daughter survived but a short time. |
