One Man Arrested.

mystery seems to cloud the direct
cause Of the accident. G. B. Dunton, a
yard conductor for the road, was arrest
ed, pending an investigation by the DO
lice authorities.
Dunton declares he was not on the en-
gine when it ran into the passenger
train, and does not know who was. He
says he did board the engine and rang
the bell to get hostlers to get the engine
OF the switch that he might move his
own engine onto the main line to return
to the North avenue yards.
He says that after ringing the bell he
stepped off the engine, walked down the
tracks and was looking at the passenger
train when the collision took place. He
was wounded over the left eve, while
his face was badly burned and scalded.
Wallace, the switchman, declined to
make any statement for publication.
He stated that what he had to say would
be brought out during the hearing of
the case against Dunton of "disorderlv
conduct, which was booked against
him at the police barracks yesterday af-
ternoon by the arresting officers.
Story Of the Crash.
The accident occurred shortly after II
o'clock yesterday morning just south of
the old East Tennessee shops and near
the glass factory. The combination
train from McDonough was coming into
the city at lively rate when it was
struck by the other engine.
The first.class coach was the first
struck, and it leaped forward and was
overturned. Its trucks were ierked
loose and fell in a heap between the
tracks. The impetus of the passenger
engine carried two cars which had been
wrenchea away from the others many
yards up the track. The front of the
Pullman car "Arcturis" was crushed in
like an egg she'll.
The engine which wrought all the
havoc was without cars. Tt had been
standing in the railroad yards, when,
without warning, it passed down the
siding to the switch which connects
with the main line and caught the pas
senger train fairly in the side. Not con.
tent with dealing one smashing blow,
the big engine, like a monster battering
ram of steel, continued to pound the
train until it wrecked itself.
The pilot was smashed into splinters.
the front of the engine beaten in, while
the rails were spread so that the big
driving wheels ''straddled'' the tracks.
The wreck was complete in an instant.
There was a deafening crash, the re.
bound of the engine. then the Kisses of
stealn-silence for a moment. then the
cries Of the passengers.
The civil authorities are now investi-
eating the case.

The Dead.

Those killed in the wreck were Mrs.
A. A. Lemon of McDonough, her little
daughter, Irma, and H. H. Vickers of
Flovilla.
Mrs. Lemon was the wife of Alexan-
der A. Lemon, prominent business
man of McDonough. Mr.. Lemon is in
terested in the McDonough Mercantile
company, is the owner of the Brown
House at that place and has large farm
near McDonough. His daughter, who
was killed, was about years old.
Mrs. Lemon also had one of her chill
dren, a baby less than year old, in her
arms at the time the collision took place.
The baby was not injured Her two
other children, boy and a girl, were
also on the train with her, but they es-
capped injury.
Mr.. Vickers was a prosperous young
farmer of Flovilla. He was on his way
to Atlanta to have his eyes examined by
a specialist, and was accompanied by
his brother, N. II. Vickers, who escaped
with a few injuries. Mr.. Vickers was
the son of Jacob Vickers of Flovilla and
had been married about two years. He
leaves a wife and child.

The theory that sunlight exerts a

of the building, having its eastern,
southern and western walls largely
constructed of glass. 4 good plan is
to build a large bay window, with
