lance or the Macon side Of the wreck was
unsafe and that other washouts might &C.
cur caused a wrecking train to be sent
from Atlanta, the latter city being also
much nearer. The Atlanta & West Point
had two washouts yesterday, but close pa
trolling of the track and quick work by
the section men prevented any delay in
traffic. The Central of Georgia also suf-
fered a washout in south Georgia Friday,
but it did not cause any damage.
1t is many years since the railroads nave
had to contend with such a stress of
weather. Rain has fallen every day this
month and each days precipitation seems
to be greater han that OF the twenty
four hours preceding it. All tracks have
been patrolled with great care, double
forces in some instances being put on for
this work. Engineers on trains through the
country affected by heavy rains were given
instructions to run carefully and be on
their guard. Owing to these precautions
trains ave operated with but slight de-
lays.
The passengers on the Columbus train,
which luckily missed connection last night
at McDonough, arrived in Atlanta early
this morning. The train left Columbus at
$50 yesterday afternoon. When they
reached Luella they were told that they
would have to remain there for the night,
as there was a washout between them
and McDonough. This morning the train
was backed to a connecting line and run
over TO Griffin, where it took the tracks of
another road coming into Atlanta. One of
the passengers said that nearly everybody
on board spent the night bemoaning the
delay which kept them from making the
McDonough connection for Atlanta.
