Fatal Accident
   As one of the morning freight trains was passing the Five Mile Curve, going up, yesterday morning, Mr. Fisher, an employee on the South Carolina Railroad, had occasion to go from the Conductor's car to the engine, while the train was moving, and to do so had to walk upon the tops of the cars. He accidentally fell between two of them, and was run over by the train and instantly killed. His body was brought to the city by the Summerville train.
