FATAL COLLISION.
BY "A g orGia Division Passenger Trail
With a Freight Train at Oooltewah-

With Freight Train at Oooltewah.
The Engineer and Pilot Killed Out
right, and Engines Demolished.
A disastrous and fatal collision occurred
on the E. T., Va. d Ga. Railroad, at Ool-
tewah, obout o'clock Tuesday morning,
in which two men-Engineer Waters, and
Pilot John Hobbs were killed A freight
train on the main line, bound for Chatta-
nooga, was waiting at Ooltewah for the
passenger train on the new Georgia division
to arrive and switch off on the line of that
division. This passenger train was fifteen
minutes late, and by the rules of the time
table, in such cases, they are required to
stop at Ooltewah Junction and call for Or
ders. The rules also require the switch at
the junction to be kept set for the main
track of the East Tennessee division, and it
is the business of the Georgia division men
to set the switch for their
passage, and then reset it.
But, in this instance, the passenger train
came through under full head of steam,
and the switch being set for the main line,
she colhded with the standing freight train S
engine, with a terrible and fatal crash,
which killed almost Instantly the en-
gineer, Waters, and his pilot, John
Hobbs and demolished both engines, Nos.
20 and "a, leaving them very bad wrecks.
One of the passenger coaches was
slightly damaged, and porter on the train
| was hurt somewhat by the jar, but no other
injury resulted. The fireman jumped off
| and escaped unhurt
Engineer lack Burson was in charge of
No. "a, the freight engine, but neither he
nor his fireman were on her, they being at
their lives were saved. IA force was put to
| work as soon as possible on
| the wreck and it was cleared for
the passage of trains about o'clock p M
got past the wreck about five o'clock, but
did not reach Knoxville until nine p. m
The company sustains heavy loss in the
two engines, but they will be brought to
Knoxville for repairs.
Engineer Waters was a Cincinnati man
| as we learn, who has wife on the line OF
| the Cincinnati Southern. He has
run on the Georgia road. This
was his first trip out OIL
the new route The pilot, John
| Hobbs, young man, resided about Chatta.
nooga. He has been firing on the main
| line. and was with Engineer Bud Elmore in
| his accident at the Blue Springs tunnel last
week. He was sent by Maj. Huger, super
| intendent, last Sunday, to go out with the
new engines as pilot over the road, with
which he was familiar.
The fault of the disastrous accident APP
| pears to have lain with the two unfortunate
\ men on the Georgia division, for, according
to the rules all Georgia division trains
between Ooltewah Junction and Chatta
nooga, are to be run by the East Tennessee
division time card exclusively, and conduc
tors and engineers are prohibited from run
ming trains without having the time table il
their possession, and if they do not full,
understand the rules, they are required tt
call on the train dispatcher for explana
