We regret to be compelled to add another of the already long list of fatal accidents that have occurred with in the past few days. It appears that about ten o'clock yesterday morning an omnibus belonging to the St. Nicholas Hotel, and driven by a man named Alonzo Williams, left that house well-filled with passengers, and preceded down Main street. The 'bus was rather late, and Williams drove at a sharp pace, which caused the traces to become unhooked and drag at the horses feet. They became frightened and started to run. The passengers became alarmed, and one by one escaped from the vehicle -- the last, David Wood, jumping off at the corner of Main street and the Levee. Mr. Wood's arm was severely bruised by the fall. He had hardly escaped when the 'bus turning the corner capsized, throwing the driver violently to the ground, and utterly wrecking the vehicle. He was taken up and conveyed into the Globe saloon where Dr. Sloan was called to attend him. But his efforts were fruitless. His skull was badly fractured and the left frontal bone was crushed in, causing his eye to protrude from the socket in a horrible manner. He died shortly after he was taken up.
We are informed by Mr. Sigemunt that Williams had been in his employ about three months, and was a sober, trustworthy man. He was a widower and leaves two children.
