| Judge D. R. Austin of Toledo, proini
| nent republican OF Ohio and an officer in
| the national encampment of the Grand
| Army Of the Republic, was in Atlanta Sat.
urday. 1t is his first visit to Georgia. Judge
| Austin came south to visit two Of his
brothers, one of whom is a prosperous
farmer near Atlanta, while the other Is at
Savannah. The Austin family is one OF
those which was literally divided against
itself'' in the late unpleasant ess. There
were five sons. their boyhood home being
Lake county, near Cleveland, Ohio. When
quite young two Of them came south One
OF these was an officer in the confederate
army, while the OF err was doing duty as
captain of a steamboat on the lower Missis-
sippi. The three brothers who remained in
the north were in the union army, and
served with distinction. They are all men
OF prominence in the communities in which
they live, and Judge Austin, the eldest, has
more than local reputation.
The first serious accident on the Milledge
vile dummy railroad occurred on Sunday.
The track near the asylum ia in a rou gh
condition, and just before entering Powell
park the road rurs over 20-foot embank-
ment. just after meeting the passenger
train this morning, the train, loaded with
passengers, started on its regular trip to the
asylum. Being Sunday, the train was
crowded with visitors, and the ride was
pleasant until the accident occurred. As
tho train was nearing steep grade
Engineer Perkins gave his engine full
steam, and the train was moving at rate
of about twenty-five miles an hour over the
embankment near the asylum when the
track spread. The engine left the
track and went down the en-
baukment The cars also left
the track, but remained on the bank
When Engineer Perkins aw that TN acct
dent was inevitable, he reversed his engine
and applied air brakes, and remained at his
post until the train came to a standstill
But for his heroism in remaining at his
post to the last, the accident might have
been very serious, but as it was no one was
injured, and the loss will not reach more
than $4,000.
