Dalton, Ga., Aug. 9.—In a head-on collision of two freight trains on the W. and A. railroad, one mile north of this city yesterday afternoon at 4:8Q r o’clock, four persons were Instantly killed and three injured, one of whom may C!o, though strong hopes are held out for his recovery. Tlie collision was caused by the fail ure of Conductor W. H. Hliderbran to meet the southbound train No. 49 at Dalton. The northbound train was running extra and was supposed to lay over In the city until No. 49, a local train from Chattanooga, should reach here. Operator Echols, after the extra had left Dalton, found that No. 49 had not arrived. He hastened to telegraph Rocky Face, the station Just above Dalton, to try to catch the southbound train there, but while he was trying to get Rocky Face, a tele phone message came saying that the collision had occurred. Several physi cians hurried to the scene of the dleas. ter. The Injured were brought to Dal ton and the indications are that all will recover. Dead Horribly Mangled. The body of Engineer Heggle was found tossed clear off the wreckage. The face was so badly disfigured that was some time before it was known who the dead man wa*. Bartenfleld’a body was found beneath the wreckage with the face burned to a crisp. The body of Roach was caught beneath tho huge trucks of, one of thecars; and Colbert was also burled under one of the cars. All cf the dead were horribly mangled. Fireman Suddath, on the northbound train, saved his life by Jumping be fore the engines ran together. Speak Ing of the horror, Mr. Suddath, who Uvea at 160 Alexander street, Atlanta, Oa., said; "When we left Dalton we complete' ly forgot that there was such a train as No. 49 and this forgetfulness caused alt tills loss of life. Soon after we left Dalton I thought of the south bound train and huppened to glance out of the window. Coming around the curve at great speed was' this train. Seeing that a crash wns Imminent, 1 screamed out to Mr. Kiilibrew to look out. I then prepared to Jump but for some reason I hesitated a moment and to this slight hesitation I Relieve I owe iny life, for the spot where I would have landed had I leaped at first was covered by a large pile of care.” Collided on Curve, The catastrophe occurred at one of the most dangerous points on the line between Chattanooga and Dalton. At the spot where the two engines col lided there Is a sharp curve. At the time of the crash the northbound train had taken on speed to climb the grade; the south bound train was on the down grade and was making fast time to reach Dalton. The spot where the two engines ran together Is Just a few hundred yards front the place where the passenger wreck, In which a fireman was killed and Charlie Barrett, the well-known Atlanta engineer, wa* eerlously injured, occurred about eight months ago and Is Juet a few miles distant from the scene of the horrible wreck In which seven men were killed thirteen months ago.
