HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Daughter of a Well Known
Former Citizen of Italelgu
Killed bj a Railroad
Train.
This morning about 2 o'clock Mr.
MoMackin received a dispatch from
Greensboro statlug that Miss Lena
McDonald, aged about 18 years old,
the daughter of Col. J no. A. McDon
aid formerly of this city, had been
found dead on the O. F. & Y. V. R R.
near Greensboro. A later dispatch
and a letter from Prof. Molver con
firmed the news. We have been un
able to obtain the full particulars ot
the sad affair farther than the follow
ing: It seems that Miss McDonald,
who is employed as a teacher in the
Ind as trial School at Greensboro, left
the Institution yesterday after lunch
with the intention of visiting the fam
lly of Gen. Glenn, on the O. F & Y.
V. R. R., a short distance beyond the
corporate limits. For some reason
not known she went beyond Gen.
Glenn's residence, and about 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon her dead body
was found on the side of the railroad.
The presumption, as we learn; is that
she was killed by a train, but the
most remarkable part of it is, that as
the accident occurred in broad day
light, the body was left on the side of
the track and no report of it was
made, either by the engineer or con
d actor. This, of course, is subject to
further comment, when the full par
titulars have been received.
LATBB.
Prof. Mclver, who came down with
the remains and is now in the city,
says that although Miss McDonald
left the institution early in the day,
news of the sad affair was not received
until about 6 o'clock p. m. It is un
doubtedly the fact that she was killed
by a train about 2 o'clock and that
she was not seen by the engineer.
A gentleman acquainted with the
locality says that there are many
turnouts aud switches on the 0. F. &
Y. Y. R. R., near Greensboro, and
that trains frequently, back in and
out of the city going to and fro. His
impression is that the unfortunate
young lady was killed by a train that
was backing, as it has not transpired
that either the conductor or engineer
was aware of the accident until it be
came public. The body is crushed
nearly in twain, and otherwise man
gled. There is the deepest sympathy
felt here over the unfortunate affair.
The remains arrived here thlsaf
ternoon on the train from the West
and were deposited in the Church of
the Good Shepherd.
