guests left the yacht club landing at
Newport shortly after $3.50 this forenoon

One Person Killed and Seventen
 Others Injured.


 Atlanta, Aug. 23.-A headend collision on the River Line of the Rapid Transit Company late this afternoon killed one man and injured seventeen persons, three of them seriously. H
 The dead-Harry Williams.
 Iniured-Mrs. Weaver, probably fatally; Mrs. John M. Weaver. River side. seriously; c. C. Williams, thigh broken; Mrs. J. w. Cawley, cut on head; J. B. Hartsfield; R. P. Bar nett; Mrs. D. R.

 The collision occurred on a sharp curve near Simsville, five miles out. The River Line is one of the most popular suburban rides and the cars were crowded.
