A SMALL FREIGHT WRECK.

No. 91, a through freight, met with an accident that caused the total wreck of a stock car Sunday morning about 1 a. m. As the train was rounding the curve of the depot it broke in two, which set the brakes on the forward end. The last car on this end of the train was a stock car, when the rear end struck the forward end this car was broken in two in the middle and pushed off the forward trucks. The early trains had to pass the wreck on the north siding until it was cleaned up. No other damage was done.
