TRAINS BANG TOGETHER.
TWO ENGINES AND HALF ADozEN
CARS WRECKED.

A Savannah, Florida and Western
Freight Conides With a Roadway
Train at the Four-Aiile Post-The En-
gineers of Both Locomotives Escape
By Jumping Two Train Hands
Slightly Injured-The Wreck Cleared
and the Track Opened Yesterday
Morning.
A collision occurred near the four-mile
post on the Savannah, Florida aud Western
Railway shortly after 10 o'clock night be-
fore last, the material tram, coming to
Savannah with engine No. "a, colliding
with through freight train No. II, going
south, drawn by engine No. 81. The en-
glnes were badly damaged, and were
brought into the yard last night.
The full extent of the damage cannot be
determined until a thorough examination
has been made. Five or six wood cars were
considerably broken up and some fifteen or
sixteen bumpers of the through freight train
were broken, but Master of Transportation
Jackson said that no freight was damaged
The engineers saved themselves by jump
ing from their cabs.
Ben Fletcher, the colored fireman of the
through freight, received a slight scalp
wound and sustained bruises about the face,
and George Stillman, a colored roadway
hand, received slight cut on the leg and was
bruised about the body. They were brought
to this city and their wounds were dressed
by DIR. Charlton, who pronounces them not
serious. Stillman and Fletcher were able
TO walk, and did not complain while wait
ing at the Savannah, Florida and Western
yards for the physician. They were after
wards removed to the Georgia Infrmary.
The accident delayed train &C., north
bound, but a special train was sent out and
the passengers were brought into the city
None of the south-bound trains were de-
layed except the through freight, which was
in the smashup. The track was cleared by
z o'clock yesterday morning.
1t is said that the woods are on fire in
the neighboThood Of the accident, and the
density Of the smoke that lowered over tue
track prevented the engineers seeing the
approach of the trains The through freight
had the right of way, although it left Sa-
vannah an hour behind time, and it is
thought that the crew of the material
train" forgot the schedule of the other train
and thought they could make the next
switch. The engines reared up in tele-
sc0ping, but did not leave the track.

Nature in CONFUSION

The Week to Open With VerdPs Grand
Opera "Ernanr' Tonight.
Emma Abbott will open her Savannah
engagement tonight with Verdis grand
opera "Ernani." The opera will be heard
for the first time in Savannah. 1t is a
heroic performance. The cast includes all
the leading artists of the company, with one
or two exceptions, and the entire Choir us is
required. Miss Abbott is supporte d
this year by the same excellent
company which, combined with her
own efforts, has established her popularity
in the south. In some respects to-night's
opera is the opera of the week. 1t has had
an astonishing run all the season, and in
some cities on "Ernani" nights the theaters
have been too small by half. In Kansas
City fully as many people were turned
away as were in the theatre. Not an inch
of spare room was left.
Miss Abbott and her company arrived
yesterday, and she is stopping at the Pulaski.
In splendid voice, spirits, and health Miss
Abbott promises Savannahians a week of
splendid opera.
