THROUGH AN OPEN SWITCH.
LOCOMOTIVE OF ATLANTA EXPRESS
TURNED OVER AT MELDRIM.

Fireman Williams the Only One In
jured-Wrecking Train sent Out
and Extra Cars brought in Delayed
Passengers-A Track Built Around
the Wreck and Travel Resumed
During the Night-ImprOper Set
ting of "A switch Caused the Wreck.
The east-bound train over the Central,
due in Savannah last night at o'clock,
was two hours late owing to an accident
at Meldrim, in which the engine was
derailed and turned over because of an
improperly set switch. The engine was
thrown fiat over on her side.
IL was stated by the Central officials
that the only person injured was Fire
man Ernest Williams, who had his ankle
sprained. Engineer +. r. Arden escaped
without injury The train, according to
the roads officials, was moving at slow
speed at the time of the accident, which
probably accounts for the slight injuries.
Vice President Egan took the situation
in hand and made preparations to get the
passengers from the delayed train into the
city. Two extra coaches were attached to
the "shoo-ny," and an engine was sent
10 bring them with the passengers to the
city. In this way less inconvenience was
suffered by the passengers in being
brought to the city.
A wrecking crew was at once dispatch
ed to the scene for the purpose of clearing
the track. 1t was known this could not
be accomplished in time to allow the west
bound Atlanta train to pass. For this
reason a side track around the wreck was
built, so that the outgoing train could
pass, and also other trains. before the
wreck was cleared from the track
Mr.. Egan said he did not think the
damage 10 the engine would amount to
a great deal. While he did not go into
details as to the cause of the wreck any
more than the average railroad man does,
he said it was due to an improperly set
switch. He thought the track would be
entirely cleared by this morning, when
the regular movements of trains will be
resumed. How the switch could have
been wrongly set so as to turn over the
engine is yet unknown. An investigation
win be held later. The only statement
in regard to the wreck so far is from the
railroad officials. Vice President Egan
said at the time he did not know the name
Of the injured fireman.

THE JURY STILL OUT.
In the Case of Willie Jackson,
Charged with Burglary.

The jury in the case of Willie Jackson,
on trial in the Superior Court yesterday
on a charge of burglary, are still out and
unable to agree upon a verdict. From
present indications mistrial would seem
TO be probable.
jackson was indicted for the alleged
burglary of the store of John Christopher,
a Greek seller of fruit and confection-
cry. from which the thief obtained $500
in money. Jackson was arrested soon
after the commission of the crime ana
then released. Some days afterward he
was arres led by Detective Stark who had
obtained additional evidence against him
This time he was in possession OF about
$50 in money, for which he has never been
able satisfactorily to account. There we're
other suspicious circumstances to fasten
the crime upon him, but the evidence was
all circumstantial The defendant was
represented by MIR. R. L. Cooling, while

TENDEBLoIN RESORT DocKETED.
Kaufmnn's OgIethorpe Ave. Place
Charged with Sunday Selling.

Charged with sunday Selling.
Charges of selling liquor on Sunday have
been entered on the information of the
Police Court against the proprietor Of
Kaufman's saloon and restaurant, in the
heart of the tenderlon and one of the best
known places in the city.
The evidence upon which the charges
are based came out in the hearing of the
case against Viola Douglass, who was
tried Monday on charge of larceny from
the person of A. w Nolan, and turned
over 10 the City Court for that offense. It
developed from the testimony of the pros
ecutor that Moan and the woman had
been, or claimed TO have been. drinking in
Kaufman's place, and that he had there
accumulated the jag that made him an
easy mark for her wiles.
At any rate the case was to have been
heard Tuesday. for which day it had been
assigned by the Recorder During the
hearing of other cases the witness Nolan
was seen in the court room, but before
the particular one, in which he had been
summoned as a witness was called, he had
mysteriously disappeared. For this I'M
c> pected reason, Recorder Hartridge post
pcned the case until tomorrow. pending

for the purpose of disposing Of a few pre-
lminary matters. The ticket presented

allowed the Sea Critters. Whether the as
ISOLATION has disposed of this question is

fully expected the railroads WIN be liberal
in allowing the team a special rate, how
ever.
Capt j. p White a Confederate vet
eran, did the graceful thing at the meet
ms by presenting to each member of the
team a bottle of oil for cleaning purposes.
The team accepted the gift, and adopted
a resolution of thanks. Capt. White is an
old sportsman himself. and while his
heart and soul are with Savannahs men,
Nhe proposes to aid them in every material
way he can.
Col. J. F. Brooks received a telegram
last night from Capt. r. l.. Wylly stating
that he will he unable % participate in
the shoot. While the team would have
been considerably strengthened by Capt
Wylly, his drawing out will not incom>
mode the others, as there is still a full
quota of eighteen men.
