| Fatal Accident on the N. C. Rail Road
{North Carolina RR} |
| |
| On Sunday last, when some 5
miles west of the Company shops, one of the cars on the down train
broke down, by which we regret to learn, the Express Messenger, Mr. J.
A. Bennett, was killed, and several other persons wounded. We hear no
particulars, except, that the train, besides the ordinary passengers,
had aboard about 500 troops, and it is a matter of wonder that more
lives were not lost. The Express Messenger who lost his life, had been
in the employ of the N. C. R. R. Company for some time, and was on his
2d trip for the Express Company. |
