Fireman Henry Adams of Macon lost his
life and Postal Clerk Il. J. williamson of
Atlanta, was seriously injured by reason Of a
wreck Saturday night on the Southwestern
railroad. The particulars are as follows: The
passenger train which left Macon Saturday
night at 7:50 O'Clock for Albany ran into an
open switch at 9 80 O'Clock p. m, at Maxwelrs
few miles this side OF Montezuma As no
freight trains had recently been along there
the conclusion is that the switch was left open
by some miscreant for the purpose Of wreck
Ing the train. 1t seems that the guilty party
opened the swith and then locked IT, En-
gineer Tom Elf was in charge of the
engine, ana when he saw the train leave
the main track and turn into the water
melon siding, he bravely remained at his post
and reversed his lever, but to no avail The
engine dashed into two freight cars that we're
standing on the siding. The engine was over
turned. Engineer Eli crawled from under the
debris unhurt. His escape from death was
marvellous. Fireman Adams was not so for
tunate. When the crash came he was hurled
some distance, and knocked unconscious
his skull was fractured, one arm broken ana
other injuries sustained. He died at Macon
Sunday afternoon. None of the passengers
and no one else on the train were hurt though
al aboard received a severe shaking IN

Georgia, and Rev Mr.. Culpepper we're on the
train. The remains of Fireman Adams were
taken TO Columbus for burial
