Raiirond Accident Near Augusta One
Life Lost-Criminni Careiessness of an
Engineer and Conductor.
AUGUSTA, November lS.-A frghtful ac-
0dent occurred last night on the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta railroad, near Pine
House, about twenty five miles from Au.
gusta. After the regular passenger train
lett Columbia yesterday for Augusta, it was
followed hy a train OF empty cars Tor Au-
| gusta The two trains rolled along at the
rate OF twenty miles per hour, the one fol-
lowing closely on the other The pas
senger train was about to stop, when
tho second train came rushing along,
and the engine telescoped with the
ladies passenger car, throwing it and the
smoking car from the track A terrible
| scene followed. The ladies' car was filled
with passengers; n. women and children
were lammed together, wounded, crushed
and bleeding After a few moments con
fusion windows and doors were broken
open and passengers emerged from the
wreck. Ii was then discovered that while
many were bruised seriously, but one life
was lost-that of Charles Nightingale, a
bright and lovely child about six years DID,
son Of William Nightingale of Brunswick,
Georgia The child had but a slight wound
on the head and seemed to have been
steamed to death.
The son of Mr.. Hegesheimer, of the United
States coast survey, who was in the smoking
car, was seriously injured and will probably
lose an eye.
Mr., Dishman, of Baltimore, a commercial
traveller, was cat in the arm bled a great
deal and seemed badly wounded.
AS soon as possible passengers we're res.
cued from the wreck. At last every passen-
ger was brought from the train, except the
poor boy whose untimely death is above re-
corded.
A few hours later an outward train
reached the spot, and, being unable to pass,
brought the passengers on the wreck to Au-
gusta, reaching the city about half fpast ten
o'clock.
The conductor of the passe ger train is
not to blame, but there is great feeling
against the men On the other train for Grim
inal carelessness. Passengers report that
the engineer and conductor could not be
found after the accident. The passep gers
arrived at eleven o'clock last night, and
Tho body. of little Charley Nightingale
was carried to Brunswick this morning.
Mr.. +. Dishmap, of Baltimore, is doing
well. and so is the son of Mr.. Hegesheimer.
All the other passengers escaped, some
without q scratch and others with slight
bruises. 1t is almost miracle, under the
circumstances, how any of them escaped
Only one death has occurred from the
railroad accident, Mrs. Hegesheimer, who
was in the rear part of the ladies' car at the
time the engine ran into it, found herself
after the accident sitting on the cowcatcher
midway in the wrecked car. Her infant son
was found under one of the seats, close to
the locomotive, badly bruised but not dan
gerOusly injured. The engineer and con-
duetOr of the extra train, who are respon-
sible for the collision, have not reported to
the officials of the road. Passengers report
that they were alarmed several times be.
fore the accident by the extra train running
up close to the regular passenger train.
