WRECK NO. 2 ON THE BLUE RIDGE.
Two Men Seriously Injured and will Proba-
bly, Die-0thers Hurt.

We clip the following account of the
second wreck on the Blue Ridge Railway,
which occurred Monday evening, from
the Anderson Daily Mail:
The train leaving the city for Bolton at
9 o'clock Monday afternoon collided
with shifting engine in the railroad cut
just east of the McDuffie street bridge.
Both engines were completely disabled
and two men were seriously injured and
may die.
The shifter was bringing q load of
workmen into the city from the scene of
the wreck at Broadway trestle Friday
night They had just finished clearing
up the wreck. There were about % men
on the engine and tender.
The engine, which was in charge of
Engineer Joe Hughes, was running back
wards pretty rapidly, 1t being his inten-
tion to take a sidetrack in the Blue
Ridge yard to get out of the way of the
outgoing train. There was no conduc.
tor along. The engine was within 100
those on the tender saw that there
would be a collision. Then they began
to jump.
III. w. Foster, white man, was stand
ing between the tender and the cab and
was caught in the jam. He was crushed
about the hips, one leg was broken and
was injured internally: The physicians
otty ITO VIII pTOOdUly ule.
Fielding Harris, a negro, was injured
internally. The extent of his injuries
could not be told with certainty last
night, but he is thought to be badly hurt.
Arthur Hall, another negro, bad the
calf of his leg almost torn off, but it is
not thought amputation will be neces-
sary. nH
Several others were slightly injured,
but none of them seriously. Engineer
Joe Hughes, of the shifting engine, was
painfully hurt. gugT
Both engines were completely disabled
and were unable to move wheel after
engine was bent and warped, the rear
trucks torn from their position, and the
cab torn up. The engine attached to the
train Jared almost as badly. The cow
catcher was crushed, the front of the
engine STAYED in, and some of the piping
torn loose. The train was in charge of
Conductor Tom Maxwell and Engineer
John Maxwell.
With the two locomotives in Anderson
both disabled, the Blue Ridge Railroad
was put out of business for while, and
no train can be sent to Bolton. Engineer
Ramey Hughes and Superintendent An
derson came down from Waihalla with
the passenger engine, reaching here
about 8 O'Clock. They went to work and
had the track cleared by II O'Clock, and
then proceeded to Bolton with the de-
layed train.
There was diversity of opinion last
night as to who was directly responsible
for the collision. The railroad officers
will probably hold an investigation
to-day. The collision caused good deal
of excitement yesterday afternoon and
great crowd congregated at the scene.
