North Carolina Train Wrecking.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. S.-News was re-
ceived here of the details of q disaster on
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta rail-
way near Charlotte. As passenger train
was on its way toward Columbia and was
running rapidly the engine leaped the
track and in q moment was q wreck. For
there was a low embankment Mt
the scene of the accident. A telegram
was sent to Charlotte and . train took
surgeons to the wounded. The latter are
rs follows: Engineer James Alexander, Car
Greaser John Ross (colored), Baggage Mas.
ter T. A. Cobb, Mail Agent Broughton, H. J.
Sleight, express messenger; j. E. Park,
fireman. The latter is literally crushed to
pieces, although he is still alive at the
hospital, and the doctors at Charlotte think
they can save him. Ross, who was scalded
most horribly, died last night at Charlotte.
It is learned that an official examination
Of the track shows that the wreck was
planned. Iron pike screws had
been fixed on the top Of the rails on each
side, and with these the spikes had been
pulled up for q distance Of several yards,
70 as to allow the track to spread.
