Railroad Accidents.

We have from Mr. Robert Morris of Lexington, Ky., some, details relative to the double accident near Stevenson on last Monday and Tuesday. Our notice yesterday of the collision is confirmed by Mr. Morris.

The latter accident resulted from the train endeavoring to run backwards to a switch a couple of miles from the place locked up by the wrecked locomotives and running over a cow. Both the cars were torn from their attachments, one of them hurled down a bank. The Deputy Sheriff of Hamilton county, Mr. Turner, the name given to our informant, was killed instantaneously, his skull being crushed in. The woman, Mrs. Augubright, could not have lived an hour, as her skull was broken, and stomach terribly bruised by one of the trucks falling upon her. Her husband was with her. They had no family, and were from Floyd county, Virginia.

A gentleman named Tolliver Jones had his leg crushed below the knee. He will probably suffer an amputation of the limb. Others were more or less bruised and cut but none seriously.

The four wounded men of Monday are lying at Anderson, and the physician reports that all will recover. No life was lost in the collision.

Anyone know who this was?
