Atlanta, June 5.—While the combi
nation passenger train, composed of cars
from Horn Macon ALacou and and Fort ioH Y \ uUj, ilYv was was ruu- run
uing into Atlanta yesterday morning
over the Southern road, another engine
dashed into it from tho sidetrack lead
ing from the old East Tennessee shops
to the main line.
Three killed outright and many in
jnred—some . seriously, others .. slightly— ,. , .,
tho result of the accident. The first
class coach of the passenger train was
overturned and completely wrecked.
The Pullman sleeper, next to it, had one
end crushed in, while the car ahead of
the firs telass coach was also damaged.
l lie Dead.
Those killed in the wreck were Mrs.
A. A. Lemon of McDonough, her little
daughter, Irma, and II. H. Vickers of
Flovilla.
Mrs. Lemon was the wife of Alexan
der A. Lemon, a prominent business
man of McDonough. Mr. Lemon Mercantile is in
terested iu the McDonough
company, is the owner of the Brown
House at that place and has a large farm
near McDonough. His daughter, who
was killed, was about 8 years old.
Mrs. Lemon also had one of her chil
dren, a baby less than a year oid, in her
arms at the time tho collision took place.
Tho baby was not injured. Her two
other children, a boy and a girl, were
also on the train with her, but they es
caped injury.
Mr. Vickers was a prosperous youug
farmer of Flovilla. He was on his way
to Atlanta to have his eyes examined by
a specialist, and H. was Vickers, accompanied by
his brother, N. who escaped
with a few injuries. Mr. Vickers was
the son of Jacob Vickers of Flovilla and
had been married about two years. He
leaves a wife and child.

One Man Arrested.
Mystery seems accident. to cloud G. the direct

yard conductor for the road, was urrest
ed, pending an investigation by the po
lice authorities.
declares he was not on the on
gwe when it ran into the passenger
train, and does not know who was. lie
says he did board the engine and rang
the bell to get hostlers to get the engine
off the switch that he might move his
own engine onto tbe main line lo return
to the North avenue yards.
He says that after ringing the bell he
stepped off the engine, walked down the
tracks and was looking at the passenger
train when the collision took place. He
was wounded over the left eye, while
his face was badly burned aud scalded.
Wallace, the switchman, declined to
make any statement for publication.
He stated that what he had to say would
be brought out during the hearing of
the case against Dunton of “disorderly
conduct,” which was booked against
him at the police barracks yesterday af
ternoon by the arresting officers.
Story of the < rash.
The accident occurred shortlv after 11
o’clock yesterday morning just south of
the old East Tennessee shops aud near
the glass factory. The combination
train from McDonough was coming into
the city at a lively- rate when it was
struck by the other engine,
The first»class coach was the first
struck, and it leaped forward and was
overturned. Its trucks were jerked
loose and fell in a heap between the
tracks. The impetus of the passenger
engine carried two cars which had been
wreuched away from the others many
yards up the track. The front of the
Pullman car “Arccuris” was crushed in
like an egg sheik
The engine which wrought all the
havoc was without cars. It had been
standing in the railroad yards, when,
without warning, it passed down the
siding to the switch which connects
with the main line and caught the pas
eenger train fairly in the side. Not con
tent with dealing one smashing blow,
the big engine, like a monster battering
ram of steel, continued to pound the
tfnffi until it wrecked itself,
The pilot was smashed into splinters,
tke front of the engine beaten in, while
rails were spread so that the big
driving wheels ‘.‘straddled” the tracks,
The wreck was complete in an instant.
There was a deafening crash, the re
bound of the engine, then the hisses of
steam—silence for a moment, then the
cries of the passengers.
The civil authorities are now iuvesti*
gating the case.

“I would sav to tho council thus as
sembled that cue thing is admitted on
all hands, and that is that asking for
the disfranchisement of the mass of ne

devised, provided there is among self- us a

I the right to 1 e rain , mm git to believe
that each one of y. u will not be willing

the terrible consequences ot lai.ure, can
we afford to temporize, to he hate, to
imperil a great result, upon which our
very civilisation hangs, because wo dace
not appeal to a few oi our own people to
make a temporary sacrifice?
“My faith in the people is so firm, so
absolute, that I could not, at a critical

who doubt with the record of your past

Burlington, N. C., Juue 4.—She was
standing in the waiting room at tiie de

upon the open stretch of track that leads
towards the sunset, when suddenly
within her ken there apneard another
young lady walking rapidiy towards
the station. The face of the first lady
mentioned flushed as the second party
drew near, and it was noticed that the
greeting was exceedingly frigid when
the second youug lady entered the wait

other—in fact, knew each other too weil
—and a young man who had later ap
peared upon the scene knew the one en
tirely too well to please the other. And
thus the trouble brewed.
Lady No. 1, with features indicating
firmness and a determination to accom
plish her purpose, quietly removed a
ring from a finger ot her left baud uud
tossed it toward the young matt itt her
presence. Not a word was uttered, but
one could read vo'untes iu the counten
ances of the two.
Lady No. 3 was quick to grasp the
situation and likewise removed a ring
from a corresponding finger of the left
hand and returned it to the donor, who
now stood aghast, nervously glance handling the
tiie rings. With a confiding
ladies left the young man iu the wait

to compare notes.

Iron Mountain, Mich., June 4—By
the explosion of a quantity of powder
aud thesnff--eating fumes tuat fo.lowcd
eight men wore killed early today in the
seventh level of tho Luiiiugton shaft o.
the Chapin mine Suddenly there was
a rumble and smoke began pouring from
the mouth oi the shaft. Rescuers bur
ried into the mine ns soon as the smoke
cleared sufficiently and found the eight
miners, all of whom had been working
in that section of rite shaft, lifeless.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been determined.
Many children are rendered fatherless
by the accident.
Only one man was disfigured, as if by
tho explosion, and he bur slightly; the
others were completely covered with
black powder soot.
The men were u-ing a powder-thaw
ing machine and it is thought neglected
to supply it with powder. It is tieliev
ed that the machine, becoming redhot,
set fire to the dynamite aud tho men
were stricken down by the deadly fumes
before they could escape.
The town is in mourning and work
at the mine is at a standstill.
