PLUNGED INTO THE AsHRPoo.
A Locomotive and Three Cars &c
Through an open Draw.

A Locomotive and Three Cars Go
Through an open Draw.
The engine drawing train on the
Charleston and Savannah railway which
left Charleston for Savannah night before
last plunged into the Ashepoo river at
Ashepoo at o'clock yesterday morning.
When the train was nearing the bridge the
engineer discovered that the draw was not
in position, and slowed UP. He mistook the
distance, however, and in another second
the train was at the gap. The engineer
and fireman saved themselves by jumping
from the cab, but the locomotive and two
box cars plunged into the river.
The engine is still in the water. The box
cars were burned, the fire originating
from lime which was in the forward car.
The damage, SO far as the cars are con-
cerned, is estimated at $40, 900. The engine
and cab will of course be recovered. The
morning was very foggy. end the engineer,
upon approaching the bridge, saw only the
white light until he had got too near it to
stop the train. He then jumped from the
cab and told the fireman to jump. The
engine went down, drawing an empty
fiat car, and two or three b X cars loade
with brick, lime and fertilizers, crashed
through on top of them.
Ge eral Manager Haines received tele-
gram from Charleston saying that the en-
CINE is feared to be a bad wreck. The ex-
tent of its damage, however, cannot be
known until it is raised. The telegram
stated that the top of the boiler is visible
about low water. The draw was not in
jured and the track was cleared at s
o'clock. Train No. %, due here at sos in
