Wid ow Recovers From Illness, Officials of the Southern railway have Instituted a thorough Investigation of the accident which killed Engineer Pace and will use all possible efforts to ascertain what hit him. It was an nounced Friday morning at the office of the superintendent thnt the cause of the accident is still veiled In mystery and that they have been unablo to ob tain any clew that would tend to shed any light on It, Fireman II. K. Norwood, of 152 Kirkwood avenue, who discovered En gineer Pace unconscious In the cab of his engine • Wednesday night about three miles beyond Powder Springs, has made an official report to the suiierln- tendent, In which he snyH he has no Idea as to the cause of the accident.
