| A Fatal Accident |
| On Sunday, 10th inst., when
the train from Branchville for Columbia was near Orangeburg, the axle
of one of the cars broke, and a car was thrown off the track. Dr. P.
C. Green, Mail Agent on the train, jumped from the car in which he
was, and was crushed or bruised so that he died instantly. There was
no injury to any other person. Dr. Green resided near White Pond
Station, on the South Carolina Rail Road, and had but a few hours
before left there a wife who was awaiting his return as usual, and
received the first announcement of her loss on the return of the
corpse. |

fields of battle only that lessons and instances of sudden death and
startling bereavement are give. |
