Two Freight Trains In Collision.
An accident for which we have heard
no sort of excuse took place on the Santa
Fe road near the Junction Tues.
day, which resulted in demoralisine
two flat cars and badly wrecking the
switch engine used at this place.
Though unable to obtain Official infor.
nation as to where the blame lies-who
was the engineer of the switch engine
at the time, under whose orders he was
acting, etc.,-it appears to have been
plain case of culpable carelessness. The
facts as we get them are that regular
train, on the main line, about on time
was run into in broad day light by a
switch engine.
The regular train was coal train OF
loaded cars, which arrives here every
day a few minutes in advance Of the
D. m. passenger train. Last evening
this coal train had arrived at the juno
ton at about the usual time, had made
the stopping at the juction as required
by law and. was proceeding on into town
when the switch engine, with train Of
empty fiat cars, came flying down the
track towards the junction, and before
either train could be brought to stand
still they came together with a crash
The enginemen and train men On botl
trains jumped as soon as they saw d
collision inevitable and beyond few
bruises no one was injured. The en-
CINE of the coal train rode the switch
engine. and sustained very slight In
| juries. The cars on the coal train also
received little or no damage. The
switch engine, however, was very much
demOralized, and two of its cars reared
on end and fell over the embankment
a choatic mass of splinters, broken bolts
loose trucks and bent rods.
Engines were sent to the rear end o
the coal train and it was backed dowI
without much trouble, when the worl
of gathering up the fragments of thu
switch engine began. The track wa
not cleared until about shutdown. TIT
4 O'Clock passenger train was brOugh
into the city on q side track without ex
periencing any delay.
