Louisville, Ky., Aug. 25.- There was a deplorable accident Mondar afternoon on the Uicbmond, Nicholasville, Ironie & Beatyville railroad near Nicholasville. The regular train had just g'one out when a special engine bearing Judge Richards, of Louisville, pulled out. Wheeling around a curve at high speed, the engine dashed on a bridge 60 feet hig-n and in the middle of it Mrs. Mary Eichardson and her three children, 8, 6 and 4 years, were walking. The mother huddled her little ones around her and like a stone faced the death that was coming. She and two of the girls were struek and killed, and the third child was saved only because the mother had crouched her down at the outer edge of the bridge, where the engine just missed her.
