| Railroad Accident |
| We omitted to state in our last that a
severe accident occurred on the N. C. Railroad on Thursday evening a
week ago, between this City and Goldsboro'. The heavy rains had washed
the road and forced out the cross-ties, it is said. The train came
rushing on as usual, when suddenly the engine sunk in and the tender
and cars were smashed up badly, killing two negroes and wounding
severely the engineer. There were 200 Yankee paroled prisoners on at
the time, but none were injured. |
