BAD COLLISION ON sEABoARD.
Trains Crash Near Savannah With
Fatal Result,

Information reached Americas yes
terday of collision on the Seaboard
Railway near Savannah, occurring at
an early hour yesterday morning. A
passenger and freight train thus met,
and while the full extent of the injury
Is not known here yet it is said that
several of the train crew were very
badly hurt. It was first stated that
two or three men had been killed out
right, one of them Engineer Ashley,
who formerly resided in Americus and
is we'll known here. A later report was
to the effect that Engineer Ashley was
not dead but very badly injured. The
collision occurred on the f. @. & P.
division, a dense fog preventing the
engineers of the two trains from realiz-
ing their danger before the iron mon
sters met in deadly embrace.
