| Railroad Accident |
| While one of the heavy engines belonging
to the Virginia Central Railroad was being conveyed, yesterday about
12 o'clock, over the temporary track between the two depots on Broad
street, it slipped off while descending the hill and upset, luckily,
however, without causing any destruction of human life, the engineer
and fireman escaping by one of these chances that would not happen
once in ten times. The removal of the rolling
stock to its legitimate place is preparatory to the resumption
of travel on the Central road, which, during the period of the
occupancy of the Chickahominy, was entirely suspended. |
