EXPRESS COLLIDES
 WITH FAST FREIGHT
SEVEN PERSONS ARE INJURED IN SMASHUP ON ALABAMA GREAT SOUTHERN RAILROAD SIX MILES NORTH OF TUSCALOOSA.

Tuscaloosa, December 21.-(Special.)- This morning at 3:11 clock, the midnight express No. 1, which left Birmingham three hours late, collided with No. 125 northbound extra freight. six miles north of Tuscaloosa, on the Alabama Great Southern railroad.
 The freight, it appears, was unable to make the long grade just three-quarters of mile from the side track, and a flag man was sent out immediately, but not in time to prevent collision. Passenger Engineer P. H. Larpen saw the freight three hundred yards ahead and reversed his lever, slowing his train, which was going at the rate of sixty miles an hour The passenger struck with such force that the freight engine was raised high into the air. Both firemen jumped, but the engineers showed great bravery and remained at their posts.
 r. H. Larken, passenger engineer, was badly scalded while freight engineer T. E. Greens hand was badly mashed C. E. Stewart, express messenger, sustained a bruised back S. M. Harris Chapel Hill N. C., received a wounded forehead: C. NJ. Nolen Tuscaloosa. wound in forehead: i: Henry Banks, colored fireman, sprained ankle: Tom Gaze, colored, bruised face
 The wreck will be cleared away at II :45.
