Two Passenger Trains on the Charleston

SAVANNAH, Ga, June 17.-Passenger
train No. 23. on the Charleston & Sa-
vannah railroad ran into the fast mail
coming south Sunday morning at LOG,
near Hardeville, about % miles from
Savannah. Both engines were badly
wrecked and the mail car on No. rs
was pretty badly smashed up. Three
negro tramps who were riding on the
blind baggage on train No. IS were
mashed to pieces and buried under the
wreck. There were scarcely enough
left of them to identify them.
Through some unaccountable mis-
take Operator Givins at Yemassee wir-
ed the train dispatcher at Charleston
that the fast mail had not passed Ye-
massee some time after it had gone by.
The usual meeting place is just this
side of Hardeville, and the dispatcher
thingking the fast mail had met with
some accident or delay took up rs at
the central junction as it was leaving
Savannah and arranged a new meeting
place. The fast mail happened to be
on time and having the right of way
was going right ahead TO pass rs as
the engineer supposed on the siding
just south OF where the accident occur
red. Train No. IS was little ahead
and had orders to pass at Hardeville
Engineer Bowling of the fast mail was
on the inside of the curve and could see
the headlight of IS coming toward him.
He stopped his train and he and his
fireman got out just as the other pas
senger train came crashing into 1t.
Engineer Black of No rs saw the head
light of the other engine when
he was about 25 lengths off. He re-
versed his engine put on the brakes and
jumped. In jumping he fell and broke
his right leg near the ankle.
This and the killing of the three
negroes was the only casualty.
The passengers were badly shaken
up but none seriously hurt. A con-
struction train was sent over and track
was cleared within four hours.
