Railroad Accident.—Late on Saturday evening the downgoing train of cars of the Nevada Central Railroad was thrown from the track just this side of Bullionville, at the point where the stage road crosses the track. The mishap was caused by something being placed upon the track. Four ore cars, with contents, were upset, and a brakeman was slightly injured, so slightly that he resumed work next morning. The train was delayed about two hours. Three or four rails were torn up, and that was all the damage done. Twenty men were put to work to repair the damage, and on Sunday morning trains passed over the road as usual.
