CHESTER, S. c. Jan. 1.-THE limited

The R. & D. train had stopped at the
crossing as required by law, and had
gain started up, and was nearly across
the tracks of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern when freight train on the
latter road collided with it. The freight
got beyond the control of the engineer
and ran down to the crossing at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, crashing into
