AT Augusta Sunday night an electric car
ran into the Georgia Railroad fast mail
from Atlanta and was badly wrecked.
There was no one on the Car except the
motor man and the conductor, and they
escaped by jumping. Several weeks ago
the Electric Railway Company removed all
fagmen from tlSir crossings, with the ex-
ception of one. They instituted instead
rule requiring the conductors of the cars
when approaching railroad crossing to
stop their cars and 60 ahead and flag the
crossing. The failure to observe this rule
on the part of both motorman and con-
ductor was the cause of the accident Suu-
day night.
