Fatal Railroad accident.

--A terrible accident occurred Wednesday morning, near Memphis, on the Mississippi Railroad. While turning a curve, a passenger car was thrown from the track, dragged some distance, and capsized.

Mrs. John Grider, who had been thrown partly out of the window, was instantly killed. Her husband, who was with her, had his hip broken, and his brother, Mr. W. H. Grider, had his collar bone broken.

Mr. Gillard and wife, Mr. Cole, R. H. Vance, Esq., Lieut. Welsh of the Tennessee Rangers, Mr. Jeffries of St. Aubin, Miss., W. G. Moore, and Sergeant Davidson, were all more or less injured. Mrs. Gillard and Mr. Jeffries were severely though not dangerously hurt.
