A Newspaper Item Causes Anxiety.
a paragraph in the Baltimore Sun
Of Yesterday under the heading OF
''Virginia News Items" caused some
anxiety to relatives and friends here
of young Biscos Bass who recently
entered the service of the Baltimore.
& Ohio Railroad as fireman between
Cumberland, Md. and New Bruins
wick, n. j. The item read as fol-
lows:
The body of r. b. Bass, fireman on the
Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad, killed Friday
night at Chicago, has been taken to his
former home in Halifax county for
burial
AS Biscoe's initials are B. S., and
as he was a fireman on the same road
but working on another division when
last heard from it was not known but
what there might be some mistake
about this and instead OF the young
man being from Virginia it should
have read North Carolina and Edge
combs instead Of Halifax, there being
a Halifax county in North Carolina
also and adjoining Edgecombe. How
ever, telegram sent by DR.. Bass
making enquiry about his brother
found him alive and we'll and anxiety
as to his safety and welfare was thus
| relieved.

Disaster on Seaboard Air Line Railway
Saturday night as Southbound
freight train was crossing the iron
| bridge over the Roanoke river be.
tween Norlina and Petersburg. an &C
| cident occurred which is most re
markable in railroad annals. An OF
tank car in the middle of the train
exploded, blew the span of the bridge
Immediately under it to pieces ant
the oil car and three or four other.
| fell into the river and burned. The
explosion parted the train and in this
| way the engine and cars as far bacl
as the oil car were saved. The real
part Of the train stopped immediatel,
after the accident by automatic actor
of the air brakes, and thus prevented
their being precipitated into the river
The conductor was on the engine a
the time aud only the hagman was i,
the caboose. He was thrown violent
| lv forward by the sudden stopping o
the train and suffered broken nos
and other bruises, but was able to g
back to the nearest telegraph office tt
warn approaching trains.
The Atlanta Special and Florid
Limited had to 90 around via Weldon
and this delayed the trains sewers
hours Sunday morning. Wreck train
went at once to the scene OF disaster
the damage has been repaired an
trains are now running as usual.
