Much rain this week has made high
waters in the Etowah river, and as is
always the ease a large amount of drift
floats down the stream. A large black
gum lodged against the Franklin & Mc-
Donald Mining Company’s dam at Opliir,
Cherokee county, threatening great dam
age 7 < - a P t - H. Allen, the mill superin
tendent, seeing the danger to the prop
erty, secured a boat, a rope and an ax,
and with the assistance of a man on
shore, was quickly on the tree and chop
ping at a largo limb to relieve the pres
sure and let tho tree pass over. He had
hardly given the limb three strokes with
his ax when it broke asunder and went
over the dam, and Allen with it. For a
minute he was dashed about by the boil
ing waters like a stick, but be bravely re
tained his presence of mind and suc
ceeded in getnug out before assistance
reached him. He was extremely lortu
nate in not being dashed against the rocks.
A colored man by the name of Henry
Gray, who was making a crop just across
the river front Ophir, Cherokee couutv,
and who. during this wet. season, had
been working at the McDonald mine,
started to cross the river. His stepdaugh
ter, a girl of about 16 years of age, and a
smaller child of his were on the opposite
side of the river, as also were two small
boats. There being no small boat on this
side he called to bis stepdaughter to bring
one over, which she attempted to do by
holding on to the ferry rope, but the cur
rent of the river was so strong that it
quickly pulled her out into the water, to
the great horror of the now excited
father and the terror of the girl,
who was rapidly drifting to
word the dam. Gray called to her
to hold on to the boat and he would save
her, and excitedly he pulled off one shoe
and plunged into the river. His first
plunge carried him under the water, out
of which he never arose but once alive,
when he quickly disappeared to arise no
more. Meantime the screams of a lady
near the mill attracted the attention of
Superintendent Allen to the girl in the
river, and he lost no time in reaching the
bank opposite tne distressed creature who
had just witnessed the drowning of her
father, in his vain attempt to save her.
Capt. Allen, at the risk of his own lilo,
plunged into the torrent and succeeded in
safely landing the half-drowned girl.

Transportation over the White railroad
has temporarily ceased. Rumor has It 1
that the gauge is to be changed, and that

stoppage is occasioned by the necessity for
repairing the old locomotive, the new lo
comotive being entirely too heavy for the

I other.

The orange crop the coming winter,

The very old trees, however, have but very
few, if any, oranges upou them, and are
showing the worst effects of the cold—that
1 is, trees over ‘if) years old. The entire
crop, from present indications, will not
be more than one-quarter of last year’s
yield.

Tlii'oiigli Freight.
The ease of Logun A Cos, vs. Central
Railroad and Banking Company, was
concluded at Macon Wednesday, and a
verdict rendered for plaintiff' for $916 66.
This oase was based on the peculiar re
lations which railroad* are bound to ob
serve towards each other by the legisla
tive aot ol 1879. This act expressly says
that all railroads connecting with other
lines shall afford every facility for the
speedy transfer of freight by receiving
loaded cars from such lines and drawing
them to tbe point of destination on what
ever line or branch of auch road it may
he located.
Logan A Cos. were dealing largely In
salt. They were shipping it by the cur
load in sacks from Brunswick by the
Fast Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to
Macon, and thence to points on the Cen
tral and branches, especially to points on
the South western road.
On Oct. 12, 1882, the Central Railroad
Company issued an order forbidding the
transfer ol salt or other m rchandise over
their lines by loaded cars from other lines.
Logan A Cos had 47 cat * at tho East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
depot lobe transferred to points along tbe
Southwestern railroad. The order of the
Central torced tbeiu to transfer it by
hauling in drayaaod wagons and unload
ing and reloading tbs car*. Tola in
volved tbe suit merchants In a good deal
of loaa. delay and sJ2ft for drayage. They
then brought suit against the Central
Railroad and Banking Company for dam
ages sustained, and the case has since
been watched with a great deal of inter
est. for It was In a measure a teat case,
and the principle Involved was of more
tntoreat probably than the actual loaa
sustained.

WATCHING A COLLISION.
One Engine anti Coach arc Badly
Wrecked—No One Hurt.
From t7yo Albanu ( Oa .) .Yam oud AdterUtir.
Tuesday morning the Brunswick and
Western railroad yard in this city was
the scene ot one of tbe most frightful col
lisions tbatever shocked the nervesof the
beholders. The 5:30 a. tn. train from
Brunswick for Macon and Atlanta was,
from some cause, delayed en route to
Albany,.and crossed tne Brunswick and
Western rail road bridge just at 7 o’clock
to the grvbt relief Of many anxious travel
ers mvaUlfig Us arrival, The 6 o’clock
way fgeight train on the Brunswick and
Western was held over here by an order
uutil after the incoming 5:80 train had
reaeMMl*Albany, and was ‘-made up” .and
standing on the track on which the pas-
M-nger train. In order to heftd n tb\Gards
Macon, ran up towards the freight within
ear qbot directly in front, and, fVtujj there
backed around the Yto reach tUr depot.
it was necessary for the passenger train
to cross the Brunswiok and Western
track at the right, angle intersection of
the Bruuswick and Westerfi-' and ’ftfiiVan
uah, Florida and Western railroads.
Engineer John Goklefi, runner on the
passenger, stopped his engine about 70
yards from this crossing, and then steam
ed on towards the depot. What must
have been his horror in passing the cor
ner of the Brunswick freight depot on
seeing the freight train within 30 yards
of him, coming at a speed that rendered
stopping impossible!
The bystanders looked on In amaze
ment and horror, and breathlessly
awaited the inevitable crash, whioh
jarred narshly on ears and nerves; some
closed their eyes to shut out the fearlul
sight, and all gave utterance to exclama
tions ot horror. Tbe engine of tho way
freight, which was running on a track at
right angles to the passenger train, first
struck the steps and front end of the
second class coach, which lortunately
was unoccupied. The speed at which
the passenger train was going pre
vented tbe coach from being thrown
down the steep embankment, but
it was badly dersiled and its
side was crushed and splintered. The
engine to the freight train was thrown
from tbe track, and its pilot and entire
front was literally torn into a tooth
pickahle condition. The bystanders
rushed to the spot in fearful suspense lest
someone had been seriously hurt, if not
killed, but the voice of the train hand who
had rushed into the demolished car sang
out, “No one hurt.” The relief from sus
pense brought a sudden revulsion of leel
ing, and the strongest indignation was
expressed by ail ot what appeared to
“lookers on” as a piece of gross criminal
carelessness. *
Mr. John Golden, engineer passenger
train, says that he was in no way at fault,
and that when he discovered the freight
train so near upon his, that to have at
tempted to stop would have resulted in
the serious demolition of two engines, so
be used all possible speed to oppose tbe
second-class coach, which he know to be
empty, to the colliding engine. This
statement is explicit, and evinces a clear
head and sound judgment in the trving
moment of danger.
.Mr. James Blair, the runner of the
freight train engine, also claims to be free
from fault and says that he believed the
passenger train had passed the crossing
as it had consumed plenty of time so to
do, and that in obedience to bis conduc
tor’s signal he pulled out. He claims to
have stopped bis engine about ninety
yards from the Intersection of the two
tracks, and that he was going only about
three miles an hour at the time of col
lision, and reversed his engine at soonest
possible moment after danger was visi
ble. Uis engine stood reversed after the
wreck.
The News and Advertiser does not wish
to prejudice the case of any one before the
official investigation, but it will say that
the occurrence is due to gross careless
ness, for which someone is responsible.
If the known rules of stopping trains at
all times within 50 yards of such cross
ings bad been observed the accident
would never have happened.
