Fla, Ii also says that George Gould escaped
injury, but that Mrs. Gould was badly shaken
up. A number OF doctors left Jacksonville Tor
the scene of the accident on a special train at
/ O'Clock this afternoon.
Theaccidentwas caused by q broken rail
under the baggage car. The baggage car got
of the track about quarter OF mile before it
reached the ridge 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 tres tie
several hundred feet in length. When the Dag
gage car struck this trestle work IL gave way,
and the entire train, with the exception OF one
car, was completely wrecked. The train
consisted of q combination car, three baggage
cars, smoking car, one coach, two Pullman
sleepers and q private car of the Lehlgh Valley
road. The private car. occupied by President
Wilbfr OF the Lehigh Valley road, his family
and friends, survived the shock. The second
engine ran at once to Blackshear, a mile dis
tant Tor assistance. Soon ali the physicians in
the place were present besides many who were
ready TO render assistance in getting out the
dead and rescuing the wounded.
Florida & Western road, Mr.. Fleming,
n soon as he heard OF the accident,
left Savannah for the scene OF the wreck
with physicians and nurses. All the after
noon ana evening he had full force of hands
clearing away the wreck. About four hundred
feet of trestIe was carried away. 1t will take
q couple OF days TO repair the track. In
the meantime passenger traffic will be
over the East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor-
gia road, and the Brunswick 4 western.
The second section OF the fast mail to-day went
to Jacksonville via Brunswick and Waycross.
The report that Mr.. George Gould and his wife
were hurt has not been verified. The officials
OF the road say that neither was hurt in the
least. Up to midnight the only commuuica-
ton with the scene of the wreck has been
through the railroad omciais,
