ENGINEER KILLED.
Wreck on Seaboard Catches Fire
and Several Cars Burned.
Powder Springs, Ga., March
2.—Dashing at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, the eastbound Ex
position Limited on the Atlanta
and Birmingham division of the
Seaboard Air Line crashed head-
on into a string of 20 wild freight
cars on a curve a mile and a
quarter front this place at 7:04
o’clock last night, burning to
death Engineer Charles Hudgins,
of Atlanta, and seriously or pain
fully injurving seven others.
The engine of the Exposition
Limited, recoiling from the shock
of the collision, turned turtle
and rolled down the high em
bankment, pinning Engineer
Hudgins beneath it while the es
caping steam burned his body
almost beyond recognition. Five
freight cars were destroyed and
as many Dassenger coaches
caught fire from the wreckage
and were consumed.
The conductor of the freight
train states that he did all in his
power to stop the fast-flying lim
ited before it dashed into the
cars. From the statements from
the passengers it is believed that
Engineer Hudgins saw the signal
but too late to check the train,
even though the shocks of the
air brakes told of his futile ef
forts.
The injured are: Will Bald
win, negro fireman, Atlanta,
seriously; compound fracture of
left leg and bad scalp wounds,
now at Grady hospital. A. A.
Clisby, bagguge master, Birming
ham ; cut about head, at Grady
hospital. J. B. McCord, mail
clerk, 00 Pulliam street, Atlan
ta, bruised about head and in
ternally injured, carried to his
home, Wiley Brooks, negro
porter, Atlanta.
Bullard’s Body Near Scene ot Wreck.
Only a short distance from
where the wreck | occurred lay
the body of John 'Bullard, who
expiated on the gallows, Friday,
for the murder of his seventeen-
year-old daughter. The body
was at the home of his broken
hearted mother, and next door,
the house of his brother-in-law,
many passengers of the wrecked
train sought refuge from the
driving rain,
Knowledge that but a few
yards away lay the remains of
the man who had rocoiitly paid
full peualty for his murder
spread, and added to the gloom
of the situation, and finally the
whole party commenced the trip
on foot to Powder Springs, and
for nearly an hour ploughed
through the mud and rain.

A BALLOON IN THE AIR.
Th* Delicate Balance of the Gigantlo
Bag of Qae.
It is while discharging ballast to
enter the higher altitudes that you
get your first idea of the hair trig
ger balance of the giant contriv
ance keeping you afloat. Your pi
lot takes a small wooden scoop, no
larger than an ordinary sized soup
ladle, digs into ono of the sand bags
and scatters a single “shovelful”
overboard. Up darts your balloon—
100, 200, 300 feet. An ordinary
sized bottle of beer spilled over
board lightens tlio balloon enough
to send it up 250 feet, and if you
happen to be over a vacant field
where you can drop the bottle your
self without risk of killing any one
the release of this weight will send
you up another 300 feet. So deli
cately poised is your balloon once
it has struck its balance that you
could push it up or pull it down
from 300 to 400 feet with strength
equal to that of your little finger.
When a mere cloud passes be
tween you and the sun, causing in
stant contraction of the gas in the
balloon, the envelope becomes bag
gy and flaccid at once, and you be
gin to fall, sometimes at the rate of
a thousand feet a minute, although
you have no warning of this other
than the statoscopo and no sensa
tion except the thrill as you see the
alarming rapidity with which the
earth comes nearer to you. Throe
or four scoopfuls of sand may be
necessary to sacrifice before you
again strike your balance, and the
next moment the sun darts from
behind the cloud, warms the bal
loon, and the envelope tautens al
most with a bnng, and you go kit
ing upward under your lightened
load until you are obliged to open
the escape valve to let out gas to
prevent going up above your orig
inal level. Then it is that you be
gin to understand^ why_ the bugbear
