FATAL RESULTS.
Henry Dieman Killed and Jas.
M Carey Seriously Injured
BY the Collision on the Memphis &
Charleston Railway.

The frightful accident which occurred
on the M. & G. Railroad Tuesday was
more terrible in its effects than was at
first reported.
The passenger train No. l, which
leaves Chattanooga for Memphis at Z
o'clock in the evening and passes Car
penter's Station at s o'clock, collided
with the third section of freight No. Is
at that Station.
The two engines were completely tel
escoped and mashed into total wreck.
The collision occurred on grade and
the freight cars being torn from the en-.
CINE ran down the track, but none of
them were derailed. None of the pas
senger cars left the track and now of the
passengers were injured.
The collision was caused by the crimi
nal carelessness of one of the brakemen
on the freight train in leaving the switch
turned on the side track. which turned
the passenger train, which was in full
motion, on the side track where the
freight was standing. AS soon as he saw
the terrible results of his carelessness he
fed, but returned yesterday morning and
after conflicting stories, denied ever hav-
ing touched the switch.
Engineer James Carey AMI the fire.
man Henry Dieman, both of whom are
citizens of this city, were caught in the
wreck and horribly mutilated and scald
ed by the escaping steam.
Engineer Carey was caught between
the engine and tender and buried under
coal and debris of the broken engine, he
remained in that condition for over an
hour before he could be removed. Mr..
Carey was badly scalde1 about the face,
arms and back by the escaping steam.
| One of his feet which was wedged against
the boiler, was burned to the bone
and the force of the fall dislocated one OF
his hip joints.
Dieman, the fireman, was caught in
the same manner as the engineer, and
one of his legs was mashed to jelly,
besides being terribly scalded about the
face and body.
AS soon as the wounded men could be
removed from the wreck competent
physicians were summoned and render
ed them all the assistance in their power.
AS soon as possible the wounded men
were brought to this city, and Doctors
Dement,. Lowry and Erskine were called
in to treat them.
Engineer Carey's wounds were found
to be serious but after considerable trou,
BILE his dislocated hip was reduced. Al
this time he is resting easier and there
are hopes of his recovery though his sui
fering is intense.
Henry Dieman's wounds were dressed
and everything was done that could be
to save him but the shock to his system
was too severe and he died shortly after
8 o'clock Wednesday morning. At the
request Of the railroad officials DIR. De-
ment had Squire Figg take the dying
deposition Of Henry Dieman.
Dieman testified that the brakeman @
the freight train was signalled by the
engineer who returned the signal thai
all was safe which was answered by the
engineer with two short blasts OF the

THE AMERICAN MEAT COMPANY MEMORY.
The offices formerly occupied by the American Meat
COMPANY in Aldrlch Court, No. A. broadway were IN
2 state Of chaos yesterday. \ new firm was moving
I'm and sgn.painter celebrating the last marks
which indicated that there had been such thing as
the American Meat Company. The secretary, Charles
E. Coon was found in his office, in the banking house
Of Green & Bateman, No. 81 Broadway. Mr.. Coon
said
The tales told of the dissolution of orr company
have been generally fanciful. The facts are simple
enough Last winter. when tho scheme was first an
nounced the advertisements of the stock were pub
lishcd With the name Of John H. Flaglcr at the head
Of the directory. Then Mr.. Flagler's cO-rstees IN
the Cotton Oh Trust so ! am informed, objected 10
his paying any attention to other important matters
and caused his resignation. The stock advertisements
had TO be withdrawn. and such stock subscriptions
as had already been made had TO be annulled. This
was Of course embarrassing and proved heavy blow
to the company. We had at that time however. OPP
lions on great tracts of craznc-land IN the West.
stocked with enormous hcris of cattle ana swine ana
hOcks Of sheep. The market II is true was not good
but the advantages certainly had caused ex-senator
Warner Miller to take his place at H. helm. As the
prospects grew brighter for tho sockmcn number of
them hurrl3dly called their options In We concluded
that it would be injustice 10 the rest 10 hold them
10 their contracts when they could do much better,
and the practical dis solution begun by Sena or
Miller'S retirement That is all there is OF Ii. We
have not issued dollars worth of stock and do not
