| Accident |
| An Irish laborer, named James Richardson,
employed on the {Memphis, Clarksville &
Louisville RR} train engaged in distributing the telegraph
poles on the Railroad, between this place and Palmyra, was knocked
from one of the cars on Monday while throwing off a pole, while the
cars were in motion, on to the track, and six cars passed over his
legs, mutilating them horribly, and inflicting fatal injury. |
