We regret to announce the death by accident of Mr. Jeremiah Peynado of this city. This young gentleman, son of Capt. Peynado, was on his way home at 10:30 on Saturday night, and going up King Street, attempted to cross the tram line near the stables of the Car Company. The car coming down knocked him over and the mules trampled upon him. He was immediately taken up, but before he was conveyed to Dr. Gayleard's office he died. Dr. Gayleard and Dr. Scott viewed the body and no post mortem was held, their conclusion being that Mr. Peynado died from the shock to his nervous system. He was buried in Ebenezer Ground, and his remains were attended to the grave by a large number of friends.

Each of the men going this trip has an advance of $3. If the men are approved at the end of three months, they will be engaged for a further spell, and more will be required from Jamaica. Men have been obtained from the Southern States. The work is likely to go on for two years, and the line will run through an elevated district.
