An accident happened at Hatcher's. 135
miles from Macon, on the Southwestern rail
road. to passenger train No. 8, under com
mand OF Conductor @. c. Wightman and En-
gineer Edward Rau, at Alb o'clock Monday
morning, while the train was running at the
rate Of four miles On hour The train crew
had received instructions to look out for
washouts, owing to the recent heavy rains,
and consequently were running very slow in
order to feel their way. The night was very
dark and il was impossible for the engineer,
who with his fireman had kept a con-
slant watch ahead after leaving Al
Ge-mined. The first intimattOn anyone had
Of danger was when the crew felt the engine
going down into 10 foot washOut. They were
prepared for Just such ansaCcident however,
and both engineer and fireman jumped as
soon as they felt the engine going. The mo-
ment the engine and tender went down into
the washout the coupling pin holding the cars
to the tender snapped In twain. This also
broke the air pipes, causing the brakes TO be
applied and stopping the entire train before
the baggage car reached the washout. The
parting Of the air brakes is what no doubt
saved the passengers from injury and pre-
vented great loss Of property. The only dam
age done was to the engine and tender, which
are considerably damaged, in addition to
the cost OF repairing the road where the
washout occurred. Neither the engineer
or fireman were injured in jumping.
A Macon letter to the Atlanta Constitution
says: The indications daily grow stronger
that the contest OF 1892 in the Sixth congress
sional district will be repeated in 1891, SO far
as the list of candidates is concerned. Two
years ago the candidates were T. b. Cab
aniss and X. l.. Rerner, Of Monroe; G, L. Bart
lett, OF Bib. and Robert Whitfield Of Bald
win. CaEanniss and Berner agreed that they
would first contest for their hcme county, and
the defeated candidate would retire from the
contest for any of the other counties of the
district. Berner was defeated in Monroe by
three votes, and true to his understanding
with Cabanlss, he withdrew from the cam
pdlRn berner mas never Deen SaJlSneQ with
his defeat in Monroe in 1892 and it is geuer-
ally believed that he will contest the county
with Cabanlss. 1t will be a battle royal
Whether Cabaniss and Berner will agree to
abide blythe result in Monroe, as they in 1892 is
not known. IL primaries are held in all the
counties of the district on the same day, Der
ner and Cabantss may both remain in the
general race to the finish, for the candidate
who carries Monroe may not obtain a major
ity vote of the other counties. 1t seems very
probable that Hon g. l.. Bartlett will be in
the race this year He lost the nomination in
1892 by only one vote. Hon, Bob Whitfield
will also doubtless, enter again, and thus the
candidates of ls92-Bartlett Cabaniss, Whit,
field and Berner-will be found once more
facing each other. There are other gentle
men in the district whose names have been
mentioned in connection with congressional
honOrs, to wit: N +. Harris, w, A. Hun and
j. l.. Hardeman, OF Bib; Ed Reagan, of
Henry; y j. Allen, Of Epson; J. L. Boynton,
OF Sp,ading. There has been no suggestion
yet, so far as known OF third party candi-
date though there will probably be one IN due
