one KILLED And -FOUR INJURED
Seaboard Double Header Freight Wrecked
Near Monroe Yesterday.
ENGINEER DICKERT CRUSHED BY HIS ENGINE

double header is to save the expense
c ia train crew. 1t had been practiced on
the Seaboard very short time before
Mr. Barr came to that system, but it had
been abandoned because it was considered
impracticable, if not dangerous.
Two monstrous engines at the head OF
such train makes an unusual strain
upon the track and trestles and an ex-
cessive number of cars for limited train
crew to control. The chances for COM
municating signals with fifty car train
are not so good as on a twenty five car
train and therefore is not deemed as safe
Train crews are not at all backward in
strenuously objecting to the practice of
running double headers, because when
there is wreck it endangers the life of
twice as many men, There is a great
deal of feeling of unrest and dissatisfac-
tion over the double header system
among the train crews.
STORY FROM MONROE.

rounding a short curve and the first en-
sin dumped the track, tearing up the

to pile up in a complete wreck. Engineer
c. A. Dickert, of Raleigh, and colored
fireman were killed. The body of Eng-
neer Dickert was found buried under
wreckage of cars and broken machinery
The whole of Monroe turned out to view
the wreck and to see the merchandise
that is scattered around and tangled in
the wreck Both engines are entirely de-
stroyed and the cars are hopelessly shat
tered.

The complaint alleges that June 8, 1897,
Ernest r. Wilkins filed information of in
sanity against the plaintiff in the probate
court, and he was committed to the in
sane hospital. Plaintiff alleges that he
now is and always has been perfectly
capable of conducting his own affairs

cipal charge against him was that he
bothered the grand jury, but no attempt
has been made to show that his attempts
were not justified He says that he was
detained at the hospital six months the
first time and nine months. the second
time.

Mr. Wilkins yesterday reads as follows,
