A BROKEN RAIL.
The accident was caused by broken
rail under the baggage car. The bag
gage car got off the track about quarter
of a mile before it reached the bridge at
Hurricane river. The baggage car
mounted the track, but the train passed
safely over the bridge. Immediately on
the other side of the bridge is trestle
several hundred feet in length. When
the baggage car struck this trestle work
it gave way, and the entire train with
the exception of the engine dropped
through and with the exception of one
car was completely wrecked. The
train consisted of combine car, three
baggage cars, smoking car, coach, two
Pullman sleepers and a private car of
the Lehigh Valley railroad. This
private car was occupied by President
Wilbur, Of the Lehigh road. His
family and friends survived the shock.
The second engine ran at once to
Blackshear, a mile distant, for as
sistance. Soon all the physicians in the
place were present, besides many who
were ready to render assistance in get
ting out the dead and rescuing the
wounded. The superintendent of the
Savannah. Florida & Western railroad,
Mr.. Fleming, as soon as he heard of the
accident left Savannah with physicians
and nurses. All the afternoon and
evening he had full force OF hands
clearing away the wreck. About
400 feet of the trestle was
carried away. 1t will take couple of
days to repair the track. In the mean
time passenger traffic will be over the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
railroad and the Brunswick & Western.
The second section of the fast mail to-
day went to Jacksonville via Brunswick
and Way Cross. The report that George
Gould and his wife wcrc hurt has not
been verified. The officials Of the road
say that neither was hurt in the least.
Up to midnight the only communication
with the scene of the wreck has been
the railroad officials.
