Numerous Wrecks.  Freight wrecks are becoming quite numerous in the upper pat of the state on the Southern Railway, according to reports.  Wrecks appear to be almost daily occurrences.  About six wrecks have occurred during the past week or ten days but none of them have been of a very serious nature.  Last week four cars were wrecked on the Cincinnati Southern  at Faulconer's Station, five more north of Danville, where they jumped the track, two of them turning over, but little damage was done to the tracks or the cars.  No one was hurt.  Traffic was delayed for several hours.  Also, it is said, on the Louisville Southern road at McBrayer Station, near Nicholasville, the car trucks under one car on a freight train broke and it required a delay of four hours in traffic.  There have been two freight wrecks near High Bridge the past few days and one at Jessamine, near Nicholasville.  And it is reported that on the St. Louis division of the Southern four freight cars were derailed at Princeton, Ind.
