Accident on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad
   The up train on the Greenville Railroad met with a serious accident on Tuesday morning. A rail on the road broke as the train was approaching a trestle-work over a creek this side of Bookter's plantation, which threw one passenger car off the bridge, some twenty-two feet into the creek. About fifteen passengers (mostly soldiers) were wounded. Among the wounded was the Rev. Mr. Moise, injured seriously in the knee, but was able to go on.
