Fatal Railroad Accident |
We learn from the Constitutionalist
that an up freight train on the Georgia railroad ran off the track on
Tuesday, at 3 1/2 o'clock, about three-fourths of a mile above Bel-Air,
killing Mr. Marshall Wright, of Warren county, and burning two ladies
and one gentleman. The cause of the accident was owing to the track
being too wide. |
