COLLIDE At SWITCH
Bad Wreck Near the Com
monWealth Mills.
Three People Are Injured in an Accident Due
to the Switch Being Left
Open.
Especial to News and Observer. }

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, n. c., January q
The S. A. L. local freight and passen-
ger train fcr Henderson was wrecked
Tuesday night at the turn-table of that
road just icy ond the Commonwealth
cotton mills. This train is due to leave
Durham at .. IN. Gaily except Sunday,
and was few minutes late at the time
of the wreck.
The local train ran into the switch
leading 10 the turn-table, which was
left open. On the turn-table was the
yard engine which John Brown, the
hostler had charge of at the time and
was turning the engine around. While
this was being done, the switch leading
from the main line had been left open.
On came the local train and when it
struck the down grade along by the
Commonwealth mills, had gained con-
siderable speed. Just before or about
the time the switch leading to the turn
table was reached Engineer Young
blood, of the local train, discovered that
the switch was open, and shut off the
steam, applied the air brakes, and then
jumped from the engine. He thinks
that he also reversed his engine. Fire
man Cole, of the local train, also jump
ed. The jump of these two men cer-
tainly saved their lives, for if they had
stuck to their. cab they would have
been killed.
Hostler Brown. who was on the en-
gine at the turn table, stuck to his post
until his engine had been pushed off in
to the mud by the engine of the local
train and both engines and tenders
We're in the mire.
Those hurt We're as follows:
Engineer E. P. Youngblood, of the
local train, who was hurt by jumping,
While his injuries are painful they are
not serious. The left arm was sprained,
and head ind face skinned and bruised.
Robert A. Cole, Engineer Young
blood's fireman, was also hurt by jump
ing; head hurt and there may be inter-
nal injuries.
John Brown, yard hostler, hurt in
ternally. HIS injuries were thought to
be the worst of the three men hurt
The accident was due to Mr.. Browns
leaving the switch open.
Messrs. Cole and Brown were carried
to the Watts Hospital and are resting
very nicely late this afternoon. All
the men will recover The damage to
the engines is considerable.

THE LIFE LINE SNAPS.

Shortly after two o'clock, during a
lull, the men on shore succeeded in
getting a lite line to the Russie but it
snapped as it was being pulled on
board. Other similar attempts failed,
but a more hopeful feeling prevails in
view of the indications that the wealth
er is clearing.
A message from the Russie says:
"rhe passengers are kept below, but
all the crew are at their posts and
the captain and officers are lashed TO
the bridge. The seamen tried to con-
struct several rafts. but as they neareG
completion they were washed away"
The sinking of the stern in the sand
proves to have been a lucky thing for
those on board, as the bow of the mail
boat is tilted high above all save the
biggest waves and affords a refuge.
Otherwise it is believed that all would
have long since perished.
The cruiser Galilee and a tug with a
rocket apparatus left Toulon arsenal
this evening to attempt to rescue the
passengers, who are chiefly colonial
functionaries and soldiers.

Chang is better. Both he and Prince
Ching baked at signing the joint note

the court was heard from again, explain
ing that the Emperor's edict directing
them to put off signing prevented them
from using the imperial seal until per-
mission shall have been received, which
permission they claim to expect hourly
1t is known here among the Chinese
that the extreme anti-foreign element
is now in power, and that the court fa-
vorites now advise the Empress Dowager.
One of these, the best known are Ii
Chuan Lin Cabinet minister; General
Ma and Tung Fuh Slang. Their views
coincide perfectly with those OF the
Southern Viceroys, particularly with
those of Chang Chi Tung, who has threat
ened to rebel If the note is signed.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching both
strongly urge the signing of the agree
ment and they both believe their coun-
suls must prevail. They have pointed out
in the strongest possible terms that the
very existence Of China necessitates the
acceptance OF the terms OF the powers
and that failure on the part OF China to
sign means that the allies viii, as soon
as the state OF the weather makes such
step feasible, send troops over the
country and that parts OF the empire
heretofore untouched, will feel the
scouTge of war.
The Germans have sent two companies
of infantry to the vicinity of the Ming
tombs, where trouble is reported.
