As it was, he lost his left foot, a finger off his right hand, sustained painful bruis es about the head and was badly bruised in other places on his body The accident occurred In front of the telegraph office at the passenger depot and the operator, Mr. J. S. talker, was an eye-witness to it. Capi. Loughridge had gotten off to get orders at the telegraplL-office, had signaled Engineer Hanksahead and grabbed for the rods on the car next to the engine. His foot failed to hit the low step over the journal, his hand-grasp on the rods gave way and he fell backwards with his foot caught in the wheels. He was drag ged about 50 feet before ttie tram was stopped. He was removed immediately to the City Hospital where his left leg was amputated about half way be tween the ankle and knee, a finger of his right hand amputated and his other wounds dressed. An ugly wound on the back of his head led the physicians to fear at first that he might have sustained a fractured skull but an examination proved that such was not the case. For awhile last night it was feared that he could not live. H.e did not rally from the effects of the anesthet ic for several hours and it was thought that he was internally In jured. Today, however, he is con scious and his condition is much more favorable. Mrs. Loughridge, who had been on a visit to homefolks at North Wilkes boro, arrived home on Xo. 35 last night. She was not appraised of her husband's condition until she reached Charlotte, where she was met by friends who went from Gas tonia on No. 38 for that purpose. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Capt. Loughridge was reported as slightly improved. He is conscious only at times. The physicians think he has a fair chance for life, barring the de velopment of complications.
