Later reports from the Blackshear
disaster say that some of the dead nave
been sent to their former Eomes and
others will be embalmed and sent. The
severely wounded are still at Waycross.
Mr.. Gould and his wife and the Wilder
family are at Blackshear, near the scene
of the accident, and special car
has been placed at their els
posal by the Savannah, Florida
h Western railway. The trestle
of Hurricane river is about 800 feet in
length and the break includes 400 feet
at the west end, the tender and the
engine lodged against the aDutme9g,
The baggage car left the track on the
trestle, which accounts Tor tne accloenI,.
THE ties show where the trucks cut
into them. 1t was this car that careen-.
/ ed the rear cars, and by Its strain drag
: ged the tender down, the engine having
safely crossed over.
Had it not been for the presence Of
mind of Engineer Richard Welch, a
much more horrible fate would nave
been in store for the wounded. Hur-
riedly dispatching the engine with a
fireman to Blackshear, Ge ran down to
the wreck and with the assistance OF
the porter of the Pullman car Minerva,
extinguished the fire which had broken
out in the baggage car. The part OF
fine trestle which was destroyed is be-
ING rebuilt and direct connection will
be opened with Florida Tuesday morn

to face with Tascott, whom they recog-
nized Immediately. The first impulse
of Casey and Mccall was to speak to
their old acquaintance, but they were
dumbfounded The eyes of all three
met and the recognition was mutual
and instantaneous. A momentary
pause was made and then Casey and
Mccall stammered out a casual greet
ing. Tascott, who was equally
astonished at the meeting
but quickly recovered himself and
mumbling some unintelligible reply
lowered his head, and passing them by,
walked quickly on. Casey and Mccall
were so excited they could not speak or
think until the man was out of sight.
Later on they remembered there was
$4,000 reward for the man who had
lust slipped by them, and then they
hastened to police headquarters with
their story. Detectives are now work
ing on the case.
