| To-day a serious accident occurred at the railroad
depot in this place. As the Orange
& Alexandria
train was backing down the track, a negro man belonging to Mrs. Macon
drove his team across the track, where he was killed and his wagon
mashed up the mules and horses were borne down but not killed. The
team was returning from the West, where it had been impressed to aid
in transporting provisions for the army. |
