Freight Wreck on Clinch
    A freight wreck occurred at Cleveland, on the Clinch Valley division yesterday, in which several freight cars were broken up.  They were loaded with carpet, but the damage to the goods was not great.  The accident happened right at the depot, the wrecked cars knocking the semiphore [sic] down.
