unusual sight was seen today in Macon OF
nine railroad cars laying wrecked within two
or three hundred yards Of the union passen-
ger depot. The Georgia train for Augusta
leaves Macon at Z 10 q. m. 1t is passenger

hali-past six o'clock, while a heavy fog was
prevailing, the Georgia train commenced back
ing 10 90 under the depot preparatory 10 leaving.
II was entitled to the right Of way, and Eli
Hicks, the regular switchman had set the sig
mails to show this, and then went Off several
hundred yards to change switch for the
Georgia passenger. The shifting engine
"samson" came along about this time, and
Horace Slappey, the head coupler, told Sam
Hntchings 10 jump off the freight train
and go and change the signals so the
freight could have the right Of way.
The signals were changed and the freight
train, which was on straight track which
crossed the track on which the passenger was
coming endeayored to pass ahead Of the pas
senger, but was unsuccessful. The rear coach
struck "a freight box, the second from the en-
CINE, and sent it whirling down a steep en-
bankment and also knocked another freight
car OFF the track. Both Of these cars belonged
10 the Georgia Southern road, loaded
| with cotton, which tho Central's
engine Samson intended taxing to the COM
press. The engine, on which were several
| men, narrowly missed being hurled down the
| embankment. Seven OF tho cars OF the Geor-
| gia train were thrown from the track, and five
| Of tho seven were hurled down the
| sides Of the steep embankment and badly
| wrecked OF the soven cars thrown from the
| track one was the first-elass passenger coach,
another tho second-cass coach, then the
express car and four freights. The
| freight cars were badly wrecked and the goods
| Of all sorts were broken up and scattered In
| every direction Eli Hicks and Silas Horris,
| coored. were on the rear platform OF the rear
| coach and saw that there would be a collision
| and Hicks put on the brakes and then jumped
| from tho car and ran down the embankment
| In n second or two the crash came and the
| heavy cars went flying down the embankment
Immediately behind Hicks and he narrowly
| escaped being crushed TO death. Harris eaped
from the opposite side of the and also
| escaped injury. A portion of the track was
| badly torn up. 1t Will cost several thousand
dollars to repair the damage. Tho cause OF
| the accident is chergeahle to the changing Of
the signals by the freight train hands.
