Two Southern Freights Collide
With Disastrous Results
Otto Wood Killed.

There was a disastrous wreck
on the Southern railway about
one o'clock yesterday morning, a
which time two freight trains or
the Birmingham division ran to-
getehr near Bryan, Ala, with
the most serious results. 1t is
reported that eleven men were
killed, and while this report can
not be verified as being absolute
ly correct, it is known that there
were quite a number of casual
ties and that Mr.. Otto Wood, of
this city is among the dead. Mr..
Wood, who had been in charge
of the switch engine III the local
yards for some time past, had
recently been given a regular
run on the Birmingham division.
In order to familirrize himself
with the road he was compelled
to make few trips as fireman,
and was acting in that capacity
when the fatal accident occurred.
Mr., Wood had been married but
a few years, aud besides a young
wife, leaves a father and several
brothers o mourn his loss.
AS is usual in cases of this
kind, the railroad officials are ex-
tremely reticent and uncom-
municative regarding the wreck,
and it is impossible to secure an
authentic statement from any of
them. but from reliable sources it
is learned that the night opera
tor at one of the small stations
near Byran was responsible for
He, it seems, had orders
to hold one of the illfated trains
at his station but went to sleep
and neglected to display the ac-
signal, with the result
that the train sped by the station
and dashed headlong in to one
bound in the opposite direction.
