Trai “ !| S. known as tho Jasper
accommodation. . left Chattanooga
about 2:40 o'clock. It was due at Sum
mit at 3:08. The other train, fast mail
1, from Nashville, was behind
timo and the meeting point of tbeso
trains had been changed from the reg
ular station to Summit.
One of the engineers, it is said, over
looked his orders and ran past tho
designated meeting place.
V\ ‘Engineer George Hollins, of Pike-
vllle; Fireman I* A. Rankin, of this
•city, and Conductor R. A. Doss, of
■Jasper, composed the crew of the ac-
1 ttommodation train.
The Jlremau was horribly mangled
and died almost instantly.
■! Engineer Rollins was badly injured,
as his legs were terribly crushed and
large holes made In his head and left
side. Ho died while being takon to
the hospital.
Engineer George J. Ray. of tho fast
mall train, Is seriously Injured and It
Is thought fatally. His left side and
head were crushed nnd other parts of
his body bruised.
His fireman, James Bernard, was
caught under the smaller engine and
literally burned to death. A handful
of cinders and charred flesh was all
that could be found dt him.
Express Messenger Webb, of the
fast mail train, was caught under the
debris snd died shortly after having
been removed to a place of safety.
The story of the wreck as told by
pasengera on tho mall train is a thrill.
Ing one. as they wero able to seo tho
approaching dlsaator. On account of
tho position of tho track, there being
a double reverse curve at the place of
the wreck, the passengers were able to
tee from the side of the cars the ap
proaching accommodation train. They
thought it merely a passing of regular
trains and did not heed the warning
until the erash came, and It was then
too late to help themselves.
. Ths accommodation train, being the
lighter one. was entirely telescoped, the
ponderous machinery of ths fast mall
train plowing its way through the cars
and splintering them Into kindling
wood. Both engines had their position
reversed and were thrown 40 yards
from the tracks.
None of the iiasscngcra were
rloualy injured.
