| The Richmond & Danville
cars were belated yesterday twelve hours, owing to an accident that
occurred a short distance this side of Coalfield. Near that point the
tire from one of the hind wheels of the locomotive
became loose about midnight Sunday, and it was not fixed until
about 10 A. M. Hardly half an hour had elapsed before the tire again
separated itself from the wheel, and, after several hours' further
detention, the two rear wheels of the locomotive
were lifted from the track, and the train brought in by four wheels
only. |
