A bull run-off affair |
The train on the Central {of
Georgia} Railroad which left this city at 11 o'clock on
Wednesdaymorning last, came in contact with a bull on the track about
120 miles from the city, by which the engine was thrown from the track
and much damaged. The evening trains, both from Macon and Savannah,
were detained until eight o'clock yesterday morning, by which time the
workmen had erected a temporary track around the damaged locomotive,
which could not be immediately moved. In consequence of the delay the
train due here yesterday morning at half-past 7 did not reach the city
until about four o'clock in the afternoon. |
