| Accident on the State Road |
| The evening train on the State Road
{Western & Atlantic RR}, which left
at 7 P. M., bound for Chattanooga, ran off the track about five miles from this city. The accident was
caused by the breaking of the axle of the tender. The ladies' car
was thrown from the track and down an embankment of some five or six
feet, and turned nearly over. It was unusually crowded with ladies and
gentlemen, though most fortunately no one was killed. One lady had her
arm broken. Several persons were badly bruised — some two or three
in the back -- while a considerable number were hurt more or less. |
