| Serious Railroad Accident |
| We are pained to learn that a collision
took place on Sunday last between a passenger and freight train on the
North Carolina railroad, about two miles this side of High Point, in
consequence of which one person, a lady, of Chatham county, was
killed, and seven other persons injured, several quite severely. The
accident, we understand, was the result of gross carelessness on the
part of the conductor of the passenger train, who had stopped the
train to get his hat that he had lost. The conductor we learn took to
the woods after the accident, in order to escape the vengeance of the
passengers. |
