"BUI" Sharpe Is one of the best
known theatrical men In this section of
the country- He has been treasurer of
the Bijou and Casino for a number
of seasons, but recently has been con
fined to his bed with an Illness that
gives little Indication of letting up.
It Is planned to give him a trip to
the West, where he may regain his
health and come back Into his own.
This testimonial performance Friday
night will go far toward paying the
expenses of this proposed trip.
Tickets are on sale at the Bijou and
at all of J. J. Goodrum's cigar stores.

Dalton, Ga., Aug. 9.—In a head-on
collision of two freight trains on the
W. and A. railroad, one mile north of
this city yesterday afternoon at 4:8Q r
o’clock, four persons were Instantly
killed and three injured, one of whom
may C!o, though strong hopes are
held out for his recovery.
Tlie collision was caused by the fail
ure of Conductor W. H. Hliderbran to
meet the southbound train No. 49 at
Dalton. The northbound train was
running extra and was supposed to
lay over In the city until No. 49, a
local train from Chattanooga, should
reach here. Operator Echols, after the
extra had left Dalton, found that No.
49 had not arrived. He hastened to
telegraph Rocky Face, the station Just
above Dalton, to try to catch the
southbound train there, but while he
was trying to get Rocky Face, a tele
phone message came saying that the
collision had occurred. Several physi
cians hurried to the scene of the dleas.
ter. The Injured were brought to Dal
ton and the indications are that all will
recover.
Dead Horribly Mangled.
The body of Engineer Heggle was
found tossed clear off the wreckage.
The face was so badly disfigured that
was some time before it was known
who the dead man wa*. Bartenfleld’a
body was found beneath the wreckage
with the face burned to a crisp. The
body of Roach was caught beneath tho
huge trucks of, one of thecars; and
Colbert was also burled under one of
the cars. All cf the dead were horribly
mangled.
Fireman Suddath, on the northbound
train, saved his life by Jumping be
fore the engines ran together. Speak
Ing of the horror, Mr. Suddath, who
Uvea at 160 Alexander street, Atlanta,
Oa., said;
"When we left Dalton we complete'
ly forgot that there was such a train
as No. 49 and this forgetfulness caused
alt tills loss of life. Soon after we
left Dalton I thought of the south
bound train and huppened to glance
out of the window. Coming around the
curve at great speed was' this train.
Seeing that a crash wns Imminent, 1
screamed out to Mr. Kiilibrew to look
out. I then prepared to Jump but for
some reason I hesitated a moment and
to this slight hesitation I Relieve I
owe iny life, for the spot where I
would have landed had I leaped at first
was covered by a large pile of care.”
Collided on Curve,
The catastrophe occurred at one of
the most dangerous points on the line
between Chattanooga and Dalton. At
the spot where the two engines col
lided there Is a sharp curve. At the
time of the crash the northbound train
had taken on speed to climb the grade;
the south bound train was on the down
grade and was making fast time to
reach Dalton.
The spot where the two engines ran
together Is Just a few hundred yards
front the place where the passenger
wreck, In which a fireman was killed
and Charlie Barrett, the well-known
Atlanta engineer, wa* eerlously injured,
occurred about eight months ago and
Is Juet a few miles distant from the
scene of the horrible wreck In which
seven men were killed thirteen months
ago.
