  ACCIDENT ON THE WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD -- Yesterday evening 
after dark, we think, as a timber train on the above road was coming in, when 
crossing the bridge at Brunswick River, the cow catcher got caught in some 
way, and was bent under the engine. The fireman, MR. GEORGE WILKINS, becoming 
alarmed, jumped from the engine into the river and was drowned. MR. WILKINS 
was about 19 years of age, and a native of Onslow County. We believe the loss 
of MR. WILKINS was about all of a serious nature that happpened. -- Wilmington 
Journal 20th inst.
