MH ] The Atlanta Georgian, VOL. I. NO. 58. ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, JULY 2, 1906 PRICE: AMERICAN TOURISTS ARE SLAIN WHEN FLYING ENGLISH TRAIN QUITS THE RAILS AND IS WRECKED Crowded Express Go ing About IS Miles an Hour. IT CRASHES INTO TEAM ON A SIDING Twenty-Three Persons Meet Death Others May Die—Inquiry Is Started to Fix Blame. By Print* Leased Win. London, July 2.—England la appalled by the deadly railway disaster at Salis bury, In which the percentage of dead (twenty-three passenger* out of forty- two having been lulled, together with four trainmen) is greater than In any remembered catastrophe In British railroading. Nearly all of the victims are Americans. Officials of the Southwestern rail way admit today that the death list probably will Increase to thirty owing to the terrible nature of the Injuries of twelve persons now In the hospitals. Papers Demand Inquiry. The London papers today are of one voice In demanding Investigation of the charge that reckless engine driv ing, due to speed competition, caused the accident. Representatives of the United States embassy have gone to the scene of the wreck to Inform them selves as to the facts and to protect the Interests of Americans. The Inquest tomorrow Is expected to develop a tangible charge that the Ill- fated American line express carrying from Plymouth to London passengers from the steamship New York, was speeding at the rate of 70 miles an hour. Sympathy is Expressed. - The newspapers express deep sym pathy with the relatives of the victims and especially deplore the fact that such a terrible calamity should have overtaken visitors. , The London Times says: “The Salisbury disaster Is of a kind to awaken keen regret whatever the na tionality of the sufferers, but that re gret can only be Intensified when the suffering Is confined almost wholly to members of a race so near our own." ' The accident," asserts The Graphic, "may shock tho confidence of the trav eling public and the reflection thnt most of the victims belong to a coun try which we nre accustomed to re gard ax the homo of great disasters Is a wound to our national self com' placency." Curve Is Dangerous. Salisbury, the scene of the catastro phe, Is SS miles from the Waterloo sta tion, and Is noted as the site of the Salisbury Cathedral, which was con structed In 1210. A short distance out of the town be gins n remarkable curve, which some times has been described as the most dangerous In the world, and which cer tainly possesses elements of danger. Not only doe* the line cover anil leave the station on a curve, but It takes a •light rise In order to afford suf ficient headway to the dipping road way below. It was near this point thnt the engine jumped the rails while proceeding at a terrific speed. Crashes Into Milk Train. At the scene of the disaster there •re five lines of rails. Two are main lines, two others are devoted to local traffic and the fifth Is a aiding, these five lines only two were occupied at the time of the accident. A milk train laden with empty cans was leis urely entering the station In the op posite direction from the express, while r.t the entrance of the siding was a solitary locomotive to furnish any ser vice the milk train might require. In the meantime the express which was due to run through with an empty line of rails on each side of her, came pounding along, swaying heavily, ow ing to the tremendous speed. The In spector on the station platform watch ing hard, followed her course with his eye, and was horrified to see the train leave the rails, jump to the vacant line on the right and plunge Into the milk train. Hurled From Carriage. A crash like the roar of artillery awakened Salisbury. Within twenty seconds the whole train became a cha otic mass of wreckage. The ponder ous engine first smashed the guards' van of the milk train and then hurled Itself against the bridge parapets. while the underparts of the railway •springes remained on the track, though "n the rails, the woodwork of the carriages projected over the bridge, and the street below was strewn with glass and splinters. '>ne passenger was even hurled right through the side of a broken carriage t 'lrty feet to the embankment and either killed and mangled by the fall or him* 1 * ma ** ot wr ' clt s*e that fell upon Women Especially Brave.

Most of the Injured are progressing Rivalry of Two Railroad Companies Is Responsible For Disastrous Wreck By Private Leased Wire. London, July 2.—Last week the Great Western took a party of German editors to London from Plymouth In 4 1-2 hours and established a new record for the distance of 24t miles. The Southwestern attempt ed to beat this, with the resulting death roll. The distance from the start to the place of accident, ltd miles, occu pied 147 minutes. The first part of the Journey from Plymouth to Exeter, ' Is over heavy grades, where the speed was necessarily lower. There Is a straight run Of 12 miles before Salisbury Is reached and this was taken ot a flying pace. There Is a long, but not sharp, curve at the station, and It was In the middle of this the train jumped the track. It Is clear that the speed was not reduced and the comparatively light English engine and cars could not stand the strain. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., MAN WHO WAS IN THE WRECK SAYS IT WAS PREDICTED By Frlvnte Leased Wire. London. July 2.—Walter ‘Bellatl, of Jacksonville, FIs., who was uninjured, tells a remarkable story of how a young woman on the (rain who had been reading the hands of some of the passengers predicted the catastrophe. "I was not a believer In palmistry," said Mr. Bellatl, "but the palmist said I would come through terrible acci dents shortly without hurt. I have got the first one over. She told Mrs. Cosslt, the bride whose husband was killed, that she would shortly lose a dear male friend In a railway accident. I shall not be so skeptical ot palmistry In the future." In describing the scene following the wreck, Mr. Bellatl said: "My compartment was oscillating perlously on the edge of the bridge nnc It Seemed as If It would be pitched Into the road at any moment The groans of the Injured were fearful, With the others who had not been In Jured I did what little I could, but number of willing helpers were soon on the scene. The wonder Is, considering the spot where the accident happened, that any one escaped. I remained at Salisbury for some time to comfort ami cheer some ladles who were In sore distress."

London, July 2.—The speed of the wrecked train at the time of the acci dent Is said by some to have been sev enty-five miles an hour. George E. Strachan, of Boston, one of the survivors of the wreck, tells n graphic story of the scenes attending It. Mr. Strachan has arrived here with his aunt, Mrs. J. H. Whltton. "Just before the crash I remarked to my aunt that we were traveling too fast for safety," be said. "The speed was terrific. We had rushed through the darkness with bewildering speed. The train rocked eo violently that It was with great difficulty we ate sup per. We had all got well acquainted on the ship, and we were nearly all In the dining car together. "There was much talk about the speed of trains In America, and we were willing to admit that we had few trains to equal the one In which we were traveling. The conductor pass ed through, and I asked him If he thought It was safe for us to be going at such a dip. He laughed and said we were a minute or two behind the schedule, and that along seevral stretches of the track 70 miles an hour was reached. "When the crash came I was thrown forward, but my head luckily landed In the softest part of the cushion back of the seat directly opposite. I was rescued and revived by the firemen who played water on the wreck. My aunt and I were Imprisoned for about two hours. I hardly think we could have had a worse wreck In America. On a similar run In the states all of us would have been In Pullmans and I believe few lives. If any, would have been lost. The construction of ths coaches was too frail, as I saw when I Inspected the wreckage." BRIDE ON HER HONE YMOON TELLS OF HU SB A ND'SDEA TFI Continued on Page Three. IIj Print* TsMied Wire. London, July 2.—Under the care of a physician, at the home of J. E. Du- ven. No. 27# Park lane, Mrs. Frederick Henry Cosslt, the bride whose husband was killed In the wreck while they were on their honeymoon tour, told the story of the accident. Mrs. Cosslt Is a daughter of Justice Dugro, of New York. . "We were the only occupants of a carriage," she said, "and I was lying on a seat with my head on my hus band's knee. Both of us were asleep. Suddenly I found myself in another part of the carriage, which was upside down, and saw my husband was fear fully Injured. “I Insisted on his being dragged out of the window first, and then I was pulled out." Mr. C'osslt's skull was fractured. He died soon after being taken to the hos pital. Mr*. Cosalt propose* to return to New York next Wednesday. Beyond the severe shock to her system shs was not Injured. BasebalMacing No Local Game Monday—Rain A «hort but decidedly wet rain which fell during the middle of Monday after noon put all rlmnces of baseball on the blink and the players and tlje few fans who hnd ?«red forth gave It up and came back home. In consequence of the postponement It Is probable that the ttro teams will play the game Tuesday afternoon. Ac cording to the schedule Tuesday was to have been an off day, but the post ponement Monday gives the Crackers and the Flnnltes a game to play off Tuesday. Sparks and Chinn, who were have opposed each other Monday, will undoubtedly be on the slab Tuesday. NATIONAL LEAGUE.
