Tha negro made hta escape, and has not been captured. In the melee, Jeaa* Woolen, 22 year* of age, who reeldea near by In Geor gia avenue, waa atruck on Hie head with a brick and painfully hurt. A peculiar circumstance connected with the affair la that Wooten waa on the wrecked train In the Central rail road yards. He escaped uninjured, but was nervous, and had gone Into the soda fount tn get n drink to quiet hta nerves, lie had been thero but a few minutes when he wna struck nnd In jured.

This report was rapidly circulated from mouth to mouth and In awad tones people mad* anxious Inquiries. Great crowds nf people Immediately deserted the business thoroughfares and hurried tn the scene, relatives and friends of many of then people having attended the big Junior Order picnic. It was the space of only a short tlm* until the wrecked trains were sur rounded l>y hundreds of men. women and children, eagerly seeking Informa tion at to the extent of the accident. Outgoing trolley cars, running near the scene, were crowded with people, numbers went out In automobiles, while other crowds ran and walked. Many 8aved Miraculously. The wreck Itself was remarkable from the tact that the lose of life waa no greater than It was. The big Cen tral railway passenger engine, on* of the largest running Into Atlanta, al most completely telescoped the rear car of the picnic train, splitting It open and splintering It aa though It might have been a cracker box. So strongly was the big locomotive wedged Into the car that tha combined power of two switch engines was re quired to extricate It. Although the car waa torn to pieces, the engine es caped with slight damage. The front end was smashed, but (he amokeetack and headlight were not even knocked off. Had It not been for a warning cry from a railroad man the result would no doubt have been more terrible and deadly. Realising that a collision waa Inevitable, the railroad man, who waa on the Fair street crossing, cried out to the passengers In the roar car to lump for their lives. Instantly heed- ng tills warning, numbers of the pic nickers leaped from the platform to tha ground and others rushed pell mell into the front end of the car.

Several of them were hurt by being knocked violently across seals and against the side- uf tbe on him, usliik a razor. The of [ ul Dii lln- <lil!i nml mu lhe hi n teen stitches were required tho wounds. HOTEL ARRIVALS. AT THE ARAOON. II. V. Prim roar. Ml. Loula; W<I<0<111M n. New York; Win. II. Itnrrrtt.

Practically all nf the pas senger* were given a good jolting, even those In the far end of the train. Stewart Ward Talks. Steward Ward,, of Battle Hill, on* nf the Injured taken to the Grady hos pital, In speaking of the accident, said: I waa nested In the car next to a window and when the picnic train came to a stop I looked nut. I saw the reflection from the headlight, aa the Central train came up from the rear, but thought It was on the adjoining track. Fearing It might strike me. 1 pulled my head In through the window. In another Instant there waa a crash and a terrific jolt and I knew there had been a collision.
