A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Ltnctiburg, Va., June 30.—0n ac
cc unt of the failure of the air brakes
to work, the Virginia Midland morn
ing express ran at an uncontrolable
rate of speed on to the bridge over
James river, one and a half miles
north of this city, and a corner of the
smoking car struck the upright gird
ers, throwing it from the track. The
trucks of the car dragged the sleepers
away for a distakce of one hundred
feet, and the Washington and New
York sleeping cars fell through the
opening into ten feet of water, and
gradually sank. Conductor William
King, who was on the platform of one
of the cars, was thrown into the river,
and although he had two ribs broken,
he swam to the cars and helped the
passengers through the windows.
Most of the passengers were taken
out through the holes cut in the ven-
The car filled so
rapidly that I had to swim part of the
way to the hole. All the passengers
succeeded in escaping fr#uo that car
and when it settled it stood just above
the surface of the water. We all then
shivering in our night clothes set
about getting the ladies out of then
car. They were screaming with
fright but I must confess they did
not do any more of it than the situa
tion warranted. We could see the
situation clearly by that time. Only
the two sleepers had gone down. The
other cars were off the track but they
were still on the bridge and suffered
no serious damage. Between the
piers, however, it seemed that the
bottom had dropped out when the
sleepers got on and they went down
into tbe river one behind the other
just as they had stood on the track.”
‘•Among the ladies in the nearly
submerged sleeper were Mrs; Plant,
of Macon, aad her two daughters, one
of them an invalid who has not walked
any in two years. There were two
other ladies, one of them with an
infant only five weeks old. These
-ladies, with the car porter, were shut
off from escape and we did not know
how soon the ear would sink lower
and they be lost. Mr. Kontz acted
on shore. One passenger clung to a
car in a perfectly safe place, and
called lustily for aid on the ground
that he could not swim, but he got no
I aid until the ladies were safe. An-
I other man whose shoulder was dis
located had to stand in the water up
to his neck for quite a while. The
conductor, while standing oa the
platform trying to put on brakes,
went down and was painfully injured.
Captain Alford Tollison, of Spartan
burg, S. C., was on the train and was
the first to escape, although he is over
I seventy years old. We were landed
j UtJOu.l vUli JiiljjlL CiO liU,Sj
improved condition. Ido not know
the cause of the accident. I under
stand the bridge was condemned
sometime ago, and two weeks ago a
contract for anew one was let out but
no bridge could have withstood the
terrible velocity of that runaway train.
It was the most wonderful escape
from death that I ever experienced.”
THE BROWN DONATION.
A great many parties have written
us asking about the Brown donation
fund- to the University of Georgia.
We called on Major Lamar Cobb to
find out what is necessary for a young
man wanting to enter college to do
that he may secure this fund, and
were informed that the applicant
must be 18 years old; his age must
be proven by his father, mother or
guardian; upright, of good moral
character, apt to learn, of reasonable
health and ambitious, to prepare
himself tor usefulness.. All the above
must be proven by certificates from
county officers and physicians. Be
fore entering college the applicant
signs an obligation to repay the loan
after he leaves college with interest
at 4 pm' cent.-. No person about to
enter the University or school shall
be loaned less than fifty dollars per
enied. Few of them appear to know
that the law requires the keeping U p
of mile posts and finger-boards at the
cross-roads, and few of them seem to
know that they can, under a law
passed in 1881, secure aid from the
county authorities in grading steep
hills and doing other work where the
labor is too burdensome to be required
of the regular road hands.—Morning
