branches, and increase of annual

FREIGHTS ARL
WRECKED
On Trestle anil Five Persons Are Hurt,
RnCiial,Seriously— No Loss
Life.
Rome; Ga., May 22. — Last
night iindot 9 o’clock the second
section of freight No. 29 on the
Central of Georgia .railroad ran
into the first section on a long
trestle near the Etowah river.
Both trains were double-headers
and were bound forOhattauoogii.
Lewis Rauschenberg, of A Han
ta, engineer second section, had
his leg broken and was otherwise
badlyinjured.
Arthur Scruggs, of Chattanoo¬
ga, flagman, arm broken and in¬
ternally injured,
Robert Dyer, of Hinson Sta¬
tion, bruised.
W. H. Hell, of Oedartown,con¬
ductor, badly bruised.
Oliver Caldwell, colored, .seri¬
ously hurt.
The first engine of the second
section was almost completely
(fehiftiished but strange to say
did not jump the trestle when
the collision occurred. The ca
bo()S e and several cars of the first
section were wrecked. The first
section was standing 011 the main
hue and stopped for the engine
fco U!u ‘ wat ? r - I* some way
there was a mistake andthetlag
man failed to Hug the second
section.
There is quite a sharp curve at
this place and the engineer of
the second section failed to see
the train, in front in lime to con

Fearing the train and trestle

fitment was called out. A line
of hose was laid but no water was
turned on. The track is blocked
and the wreck occurring on the
trestle it will likely be tomorrow
before the wreck is cleared.
The place where the collision
occurred is a dangerous one and
