Nashville Union And Dispatch

A Curious Accident.-Yesterday, as a train of Green Line cars were backing up just south of the Louisville depot, the switch became displaced, and a freight car of the Northwestern road was precipitated a distance of fifteen feet over the side of the trestle-work. Mike Carr, a watchman, who had been standing on the top of the car with Chas. Humphrey, a yard man, was severely injured, but Humphrey saved himself by accomplishing the extraordinary feat of stepping from the roof of the car to its side as it was toppling over and from thence jumping to the ground. The car was not much damaged, and the locomotive was stopped in time to save the rest of the train.
