| Accident on the Savannah Railroad |
| About 2 o'clockyesterday morning, a
collision occurred on the Charleston & Savannah Railroad, between
two freight trains, in which, we regret to say, the popular and
obliging Conductor, Mr. Bradley, had his left arm seriously injured.
The collision occurred at Adams Run. Both trains were running on the
same schedule towards
Charleston
, but the one in the rear running faster than the forward one, which
showed no light in the hindmost car, was the cause of the accident.
Mr. Conductor Bradley was the only person seriously injured; a few
others were slightly scratched. Two of the cars were broken up and the
engine, which ran into the forward
train, was disabled. |
