a trip to the swamp, at about 25 milea
an hour, ran off the track, the rail
spreading in front of engine. The en
glne and three car sleft the track;
be engine turned completely round
and cleared the track entirely. The
conductor, a white man named Leo
Wilson and two negro brakemen, na
med, J. A. Doberaon and Jim Spencer
Were riding on the pilot in front of
ergine and were thrown off. Wilson

E. C. WADE DEAD.
Savannah New*.
Col. Edward C. Wade who died to
New Orleans Wednesday Is remem
bered by many of the older citizen*
of Savannah. He was a successful
cotton broker here before the Cfvfl
war and being a Union sympathiser
did not enlist tn the Confederate
cause, but remained at home and af
ter the conflict held various positions
under the federal government here.
Oen. W. W. Gordon remembers Mr-
Wade is haring been one o fthe las-
ggst receivers of cotton from tbe Sa
vannah river at this port. It has
been said that he was proud of hav
ing been "the Wade who never ifr
ceeded." Some of he older residents
here recall tho fact that because of
hie pro-Union views Mr. Wads was
not *s popular as he might have been
If he bad been loyal to the causa
which was so dear to the hearts ot

Capt. John R. Dillon remembers Mr.
Wade well. He says be failed In
business and moved to a Sriptb Gear-
gin town after he had filled various
porltlons under tbe federal govsm-
meat. Many others here among tha
older generation recall Mr. Wade, who
was a very quiet mild mannered
man.
E. C. Wade lived In Brooks county
