Asleep at his Post.

Saturday morning at Denmark
the through freight ofthe Allan
TIC Coast Line, running between
August a and Florence was wreck
ed at the Southern Railway cross
Ing. 1t seems as if Engineer
B utler is responsible, as it is re-
ported he was asleep at the time.
At Denmark the tracks of the
Coast Line crosses the Florida,
Central and Peninsular an d
the Southern within 800 yards of
each other. The crossing at the
Florida, Central and Peninsular
is an ordinary one, but at the
Southern "derailing switch" is
used which must be adjusted by
an operator stationed there
for that purpose, who, at a
signal from the whistle of the en-
glne, adjusts the rails. This is
done to compel all trains to stop.
Those who saw the accident
say that Engineer Butler did not
stop at the Florida Central and
Peninsular crossing, neither did
he blow any signal as he approach
ed the Southern, and the conse-
quence is that his engine is now
lying on its back at the bottom
| of a 10-foot embankment and
eight box cars partially wrecked.
