SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1868.
THE DlsuSler at chunIssy bridge.

The Crisis publishes the following statemen
of the section master, Mr.. A. T. Temples, con
cerning this disaster
On Monday morning, after the rains Of the
day previous, took three hands--all ] ad in
nav employ-and with the hand car went over
the whole line Of my section, which is eight
miles long, attending to showing the drift from
the different bridges. ! was at the bridge
where the accident occurred twice in the fore
noon and twice in the evening. visited the
bridges four times a day, and there was no
drift az all against the bridge until between 3
and 10 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday
Had been to this bridge four times each day.
By 3 o'clock P. M. on Wednesday the drift had
accumulated 30 thick, aud the streams 30 much
swollen that could not moveit with dozen
hands. had they been with me. The Chunkey
was then at its highest, and the bridge had
swagged down stream about one hour. eau
time. one of the bents passed out, and with it
A large portion of the drift. The evening
freight train was then due and laying at the
station lust below. There were several men
at the bridge at the time, and asked MIR.
Green Harris, one of my neighbors, to stop the
approaching train, which he did, while re-
turned to the section house, AS the train ran
slowly the conductor told me to be sure to
notify the train that would leave Meridian at
3 tho next morning Of the danger at the
bridge. said would do 80, and took my
hand car Immediately and went to the water
tank, where Mr.. Hardy an employee OF the
road WAS working. told him to stop the
trains at the tank, and not let them pass, as the
road was all torn up, and two other trains
were then ct Hickory Station, and could get
no further, and that one bent was out of the
bridge and they could not cross. II live so
far of that cannot be here myself" was the
reply. Then told him to be sure and keep a
negro there for the purpose, then returned
to the bridge and found that the water had
fallen about woinches. then dug hole in
the middle OF the track, and put up thick
pole, about as near as could tell $50 yards
from the bridge. This is the usual method OF
stopping trains when danger is ahead. Una
bio to do any more good, returned to the
section house at dark. The next morning
had the hands up before daylight, and was
lust going ont on the road " work, having
full confidence that Hardy would not lot the
trains pass the tank. Just as started out,
met man running up the road with the news
OF the accident
The correspondent who furnishes the state
ment says:
Wherever the fault may lie, and whoever
may be culpable in this terrible disaster, the
officers OF the railroad company, high in au
thority, will have to bear Q large share.ST Then
section men are furnished with neither flags
or signal lights, nor sufficient number Of
hands to keep the road in anything like re
pair. To believe that one old mar with three
negro men, one Of whom is sick most Of hi'
time, can keep eight miles and fifteen bridges
on such a road in good order, 10 simply ridicu
lous.
