ENGINEER TERRELL AT FAULT


The cause OF the wreck near Old Fort
last week, on the Western North Caro-
lima division Of the Southern Railway,
is no longer n mystery. Engineer Will
liam Pitt Terrell whose engine dashed
into the Chattanooga ycstibulc, causing
the death OF Engineer James and his
fireman, acknowledges that he was care
less, disobeyed orders and is alone respon-
sihle for the terrible disaster.
Maj, ]. w. Wilson, chairman of the
Railroad Commission, has been ups to
Old Fort investigating the wreck. He
returned yesterday. When questioned
as to the result Of his investigation he
said:
THE engineer, Mr.. Terrell, who over
looked his orders, confesses that he was
entirely at fault. Much sympathy is
shown him by every one. For % years
he has been a most faithful employe or
the company upon this most difficult p0r
ton Of the road to operate. During all
that time rp has never had an accident
or pulled ont a drawhead. He has been
for many years prominent leader in
the Baptist church, sober and strictly re-
liable. He seems crushed by the acct
dent. lie is a native OF Wake county
entered the service about 20 years ago
under me and has been constant en-
ployc ever since. lie was never sus-
pended or any fault found with his work
I say this in justice to n most worthy
man and most excellent engineer.
MIR. Terrell ran what is known as
the helping engine. assisting in pushing
the trains over the mountain division.
After reaching the summit Of the grade,
ne was returning with his engine alone
lie had orders to pass a circus train at
Derita, a side track about one-half mile
east OF Round Knob Hotel The Chat
tanooga vestibuled train had the right
Of way against him and he should have
side-tracked at Mud Cut and then have
gone on to Derita to await the circus
train. But in doing this he overlooked
the rights Of the vestibule, thinking only
Of the circus train and causing the col
lision about a quarter Of mile beyond
Round Knob
THE deceased engineer, James, was
universally admitted to be one OF the
best men in his profession. His brave
death has proven his manhood. | started
