CRUSHED ON x\ CROSSING.
Returning honie from court last Mon
day p. m. 5Ir. B. F. Grantham happened
to a very unfortunate accident at Reed's
crossing, about three miles below here
on the 8. – W. R. R. His horse was
killed, his ouggv smashed into splinters
and he i arely escape 1 being thrown un
der the train himself and crushed. At
this crossing the dirt roa l panes over
the railroad and runs paralel with it and
very near to it for some distance. Mr.
Grantham, it seems was driving a few
paces in the rear of Mr. Wimbish, who
had crossed the track and he was on the
crossing when they saw the train com
ing at a speed of thirty miles an hour.
He halloed to Mr. Wimbish to drive up
and let him get off the track, which was
done and he too cleared the crossing, but
Mr. Wimbish's horse took flight and be
gan running backward, forcinghis horse
to back also. The engineer seeing that
j *i, e buggies had both passed over, made
no slack in his speed, probably not ap
prehending theafter results until too late
to stop. Mr. Grantham’s horse contin
ued to shy backwards until the buggy
was run nto and snacthe. I up by the rap
idly passing train. Tiie harness being
strong, carried the horse with the buggy
and dashed him against the train with
such force as to kill him instantly. Mr.
Grantham sprang out in time to escape.
The vehicle was broken into snnll splin
U rs and scattered along the road fifty
yards or more. The engineer stopped as
goon as was practicable and backed to
the scene exp *cting to find man and alt
Rj the ruins, but was agreeably surpris
to see Mr. Grantham unhurt,
