| Railroad Collision |
| A serious collision occurred
at the 57 mile post, on the South Carolina Railroad, a little before 1
o'clock yesterday morning {May 1}, between the up passenger and the down
freight trains. Both engines were badly damaged and the baggage car
was entirely demolished, the tender being driven half-way tho'. Of
course there was a general smash up of trucks, boxes, &c. Two
freight cars was also destroyed, but nobody was injured. |
