SIXTY-SIX NOW DEAD
Southern Railway Wreck
Horror Increases.
ENGINEER MAY HAVE SLEPT ON POST
Nothing Is Definitely known Except
That Orders Were Dfsobeyed by
the Trainmen, Who Perished
@.s I'm the Collision.

\ KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26. One
of the worst accidents that has ever
happened in this state has occurred
near Newmarket by which sixty-six
people have been killed and 120 are
reported more or less badly injured.
several Of whom will probably die.
Running on roadbed in supposed
ly high condition of1maintenance and
having about them every safeguard
known to modern railroading, two
trains on the Southern railway carry
ing heavy lists of passengers came to-
fgether in a ,friartfdA head-on collision.
This appalling loss of life resulted
apparently from the disregarding of
orders given to the two trains to meet
at station which has for long time
been their regular meeting point.
The trains were due to pass at
Hodges Station, but collided about one
and a half miles west Of that place,
the westbound train running past the
meeting point. Superintendent Loyal
was In Chattanooga when the collision
occurred and is en- route to the wreck
on special train.
A1JNGTy CttE III Lie sGdSLuOuAu LItiAkA was
demolished except the sleeper. Delong
Rice of Nashville, Tenn, was riding in
the sleeper with his two sons, and all
escaped injury. Not one Of the passen-
gers on the westbound train was killed
A large number were going from
Knoxville to Newmarket to attend the
funeral Of w. r. King, prominent
citizen Of that place. James King, one
of the dead, was brother Of W. r..
King.
The death list as a result Of the
wreck will probably exceed seventy be-
fore tomorrow, as many Of the injured
are In serious condition, and more
deaths will occur at the hospital here.
There have been six deaths already at
that institution as the result of the
collision, the last one occurring last
night, when M. P. Cant, prominent
North Carolinian, residing at Shelby,
N. c., passed away.
The track and equipment were in
first class condition, and the crews
We're old and trusted employees, hav-
Ing been in the service of the company
some twenty years.
/ The killed and injured occupied the
| coaches. There were four sleepers on
the eastbound train, none of which left
the rails, and their passengers were
uninjured. Surgeons and nurses were
promptly sent to the scene, and every
attention is being given the injured.

A most interesting and important
event is the engagement of May IT.
7vin in ''Mrs Black Is Back" this even
inc at Polls since it marks the return
of this jolly coincidence to the stage
after a retirement ofstwo years. Miss
Irwin has always stood in class by
herself among American condolences
and the fact that no one has been able
to I'LL her place during the two years
retirement makes her return especial
ly gratifying. The new comedy is
said to be perfectly suited to her style
and the action is so arranged as to
permit of her singing the songs that
have made her famous, among these
being two that she herself wrote I'M
