Frightful Railroad Accident.
TWO MEN KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED

TWO MEN KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED
A disastrous collision occurred about
81 o'clock last Saturday morning be-
tween two freight trains on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road,
short distance East of Carriers Depot
The colliding trains were the No. 5
freight, coming west, and the No.
freight, going east. At the foot of the
Shells grade, right around the base of a
mountain, on an exceedingly short curve,
the two trains collided with terrific
force Two men, named Joseph Grouse
and William Wyatt, were killed out
right. Grouse belonged TO Sullivan
county, was % years of age, and was,
some time ago, in the employ of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road as fireman. Wyatt was fireman
on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad.
Neither men were in the employ of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad when killed. They were riding,
it is stated, On the engine of No. 5, con
trary to the regulations of the company.
The engineer of No. 5, G. G.. Trainham,
was seriously injured, having a leg
broken, and being badly bruised gener-
ally. The conductor of No. 5, Tol.
Ryland and the fireman, VIM Hender-
son, were slightly injured Engineer
Jacob Staub, Of No. 6, was somewhat
injured, and the fireman, John Nelly,
was slightly hurt. Both engines were
badly broken up. Two box cars loaded
with merchandise, coming west, were
burned, and their contents totally des-
trOyed. Three other box cars, and two
flat cars were badly wrecked. The blame
so far as is known, to the con-
ductor and engineer of freight train No
3, the other train having been running
according to the schedule
