NP, WJ 2/26/1863

From the Wilmington Journal
 
February 26, 1863
 
   We learn that a report was current yesterday that a second collision had taken place on the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad. This report is not correct. The only collision on the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad has already been noticed in this paper. A collision, we learn did occur on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad on the day before yesterday, a provision train having come in contact with the rear of a mail train. Nobody was hurt and we understand the damage done was slight. No doubt this gave rise to the report of a second collision on the Wilmington & Manchester Road, the names of the two roads being confused in the statement.
