| Serious accident |
| On Saturdaynight last, about 8 o'clock,
Lewis E. Harvie, Esq., President of the
Richmond &
Danville
railroad, met with a most severe accident. He was coming down the road
on a hand-car, and coming through
Manchester, the car going at full speed
was run into a passenger car standing on
the track, which, owing to the darkness of the night, could not be
seen. Mr. Harvie's thigh was broken by the concussion, and a negro on
the car was thrown off and so seriously
injured that he died yesterday morning. Dr. Conway and other
physicians were soon on the spot and set the fractured limb of Mr.
Harvie. Yesterday be was doing well, and strong hopes are entertained
of his recovery. |
