| Dreadful Collision on the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad |
| On Monday night the train of cars going
North came into collision with a train coming South, about 15 miles
from this city, on a high embankment, and the most serious
consequences ensure. Three persons were killed outright, and several
wounded seriously. The cars were smashed up in a heap, to use the
expression of our informant. One of the engine drivers -- but which we
have not heard, was running out of time. The driver of the engine
going North saved himself by jumping off the locomotive when he saw
the collision was inevitable. |
