down the embankment. John Book, a

preacher John Redding, travelling
man and an unknown laborer. were
probably fatally injured.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Sept. 26.-The
wreck on the Southern railway which
occurred here Saturday, resulting in
the death of 81 persons and the in
juring of 100 others. was apparently
The result of total disregard of or
ders. It is probable that several of the
injured will die.
The trains were running at the rate
of 35 miles an hour and struck each
other as they rounded a curve. Both
engines and all of one train and the
greater part of the other were demol-
ished.
The trains colliding were No. 12. an
eastbound passenger and No. Is, west
bound No. l2 carried two day coaches
three Pullmans and a mail and bag
gage car and loss of life on this train
was less than on No. 10. owing to the
fact that 1t was aSight local train.
The wreck occurred in broad day.

the instructions were plain and posi-
tive, and so far as can be learned II
seems the orders of the west-bound
train were posted up in the cab. Eac.l
engineer was killed. and how it hap
pened that orders were disregarded
Will never be known. 1t Is believed
that the engineer of the west bound
siding for the other train to pass, was
| asleep.
One surviving passenger described
the scene as awful. All the passengers
| were thrown into the front end of the
