CRASH OF THE ENGINES.


Passenger train No. z, on the Central
of Georgia railway, known as the "shoo-
fly was run into night before last a mile
beyond Pooler by a Georgia and Alabama
engine. A brief account of the accident
was given in the Morning News yesterday.
The Central train was running at about
twenty miles an hour. The engine which
crashed into it, head on, was running at
about the same speed. There was no
train attached to the engine. 1t was be-
ing brought in from Meldrim for repairs,
Engineer Westbrook being in charge.
The engineer was running, from the ac-
counts, given by railroad men, with
rules. His headlight had gone out just af9
ter leaving Meldrim and was not relighted.
The direct cause of his accident, however,
lay in failing to note the schedule. The en-
sineer told the trainma ster that he thought
the train left at a different time from
that on which IL really leaves the city.
When the engines first came in sight of
each other nothing more towards stopping
them could be done than putting on the
brakes. This Engineer Jack Tarver OF the
shooty did, but the speed of the train was
hardly checked. As the crash came Fire
man w. NJ. Griffin of the Shoofly jumped.
He struck on a crosstie and was injured
internally He was brought back to the
city and taken to his home.
Engineer Westbrook's engine No 102. Is
very light. Had II been heavier the damage
might have been greater. As 1t was the
headlights and fronts of each were pretty
badly battered up. With exception of the
front. trucks of one, however, neither left
the rails nor did any of the shooflys cars
Engineer Westbrook did not bring his
engine into the city. He boarded west
bound passenger train No. 10 of the Geor-
gia and Alabama. which leaves here at
TBS, when il reached Pooler, and went on
to Americas. He told Trainmaster Brun-
ner that he was going to send in his resig-
nation at once Whether IL has been sent
in or not II has at all events gone into eff
feet.
Engineer Westbrook has been considered
one of The most careful and competent
men in the Georgia and Alabamas ser
vice. He has been running for some time
as a passenger relief engineer.

NOT YET SETTLED.
MIR. Henry Crawford Did Not Come to
savannah as Expected.

Mr. Henry Crawford, the attorney who
was in Macon day before yesterday and
secured an order from Judge Emory Speer
with regard to the lease of the Georgia
railroad by the Central of Georgia and
the Louisville and Nashville, did not come
to Savannah yesterday, as was expected.
President II. NJ. Conner of the Central
was asked about the matter, but said he
knew nothing more than he had seen in
the newspapers. He supposed the order
was one of a formal nature, and yet nee
essary to the proceedings in the case. The
dispute between the Louisville and Nash
Vile with regard to the Georgia railroad
lease, he says, has not yet been settled.

TO FINISH THE NUMBERING.
The Missing House Numbers Being
Put Up.

Put Np.
The people, who have been complaining
that they were left out when the new
house numbers were put up will shortly
have no reason to complain. The missing
numbers which were ordered sometime
ago, were received yesterday and are now
being put in place by Mr.. George w. Al
len.
There are about 800 Of the missing num-
bers. The large number is due to the fact
that an alteration was made in the plans
after the work of REMEMBERING was begun.
The first intention was to place a number
over every basement door as well as on
every house. but after the work OF place
ing the numbers had begun 1t was seen
that numbers for basement doors were
not desirable except where the Easements
We're used as offices or rented TO tenants
The change threw the system out of gear
somewhat. This, together with natural
mistakes and omissions IN ordering num-
bers accounts for the fact that a good
many people have had TO set along with
the old numbers.

Owing to the continued indisposition of
Judge Robert Falligant, the grand jury
did not meet yesterday afternoon as eX-

court ready for business, but for the rea-
son stated they were dismissed until Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock, when they will
meet to finish up the criminal business on
the court docket to which they have not
attended, and to return their general pre-
sentiments.
Judge Falligant has had good deal of
heavy work put upon him during the
term of the court, which is just now draw
ing to a close and from that and other
causes his eyes have been giving him con-
siderable trouble. His many friends trust
that this malady will soon disappear, and
that he may be enabled to return at once
to the bench.
