FrightfuI Collisions.

A collision occurred on the Selma
division of the E. T. V. & G. r. r.,
near Calera, Ala, ON the 4th inst, be-
tween a passenger and freight train.
The crash was terrible. All the pas
sengers were badly shaekn up, but
fortunately none were killed. The
train men were not so fortunate. A
brakeman was killed and engineer
Bob Hall fatally scalded. The en-
gines were a total wreck and seven
cars were burned. The loss to prop
erty is estimated to be $4,000. Care
lessness on the part of freight CON.
ductor was the cause.
Passenger trains, Nos l and 2, col.
lided 2 miles west OF Talbott's last Sat.
urday at 4 80 p. m. Both trains were
filled with passengers, but fortunate.
ly none were seriously hurt. The en-
gineers and fremen saved themselves
by jumping, but the mail agents were
not so fortunate. A. ]. Welsh, in
leaping from the car had his leg broke
and F. H. Phillips his thigh crushed
both engines and mail cars were bad
ly wrecked but not derailed The loss
will be about $4,000. The operator
at Knoxville after giving No. 2 orders
to run to Talbott's, carelessly neglect
ed to give No. l orders to wait, hence
the accident.
