Fatal locomotive explosion. --The engine "E. Fontaine," running on the Central railroad, exploded about half-past 9 o'clock on yesterday morning at Wickham's turnout, in Hanover county, killing instantly James, Ramsey, the engineer, and seriously injuring a negro boy who was in the act of getting on the train. The explosion was of the most violent character, causing a report which was heard for miles around and scattering fragments of the boiler in every direction. The bell was thrown to a distance of a quarter of a mile. The deceased engineer's body was brought to this city on yesterday afternoon, and presented a ghastly spectacle, with a part of his heart protruding from his breast and his head crushed in. He was unmarried, and originally hailed from Indiana, though for a number of years back he has resided in the South.
