Terrible Railroad Catastrophe Near
Chattanooga.
CHATTANOOGA, Feb. 24.-AbOut 4
O'Clock this afternoon on The South
ern Railway, four miles from this
city, incoming passenger train No. Z,
travelling at high speed, struck a
covered country wagon which was
trying to clear the track ahead of
the train at Avondale Crossing.
The wagon was hit squarely in the
center and with its ten occupants
hurled high into the air.
The occupants were Mrs. w. J..
Woodward, her eight children and
one grandchild, all of whom, with
with one exception, were killed.
The little grandchild, by some
curious fate, was forced by the col
lisiOn underneath the extension
front of the locomotive, and when
rescued from her perilous position
was found to be entirely uninjured,
being the only one of the ten who
escaped with life.
The bodies of the nine victims
were brought to the city and will be
buried near the family home by the
railroad company.
The engineer is Frustrated over
the shocking event, and for time
it was feared that he would lose his
mind. However, he is entirely eX-
honerated from all blame.
