FIFTY DEAD IN TRAIN WRECK
COLLISION ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY ALSO INJURIES
MORE THAN Il HUNDRED PERSONS
Locomotives Crash Into One Another Speed of ThUe Niles
Hour-Cars Filled pith Dead and W ounded

Knoxville. Tenn. Sept 24-Running on a
roadbed in a supposedly high condition of main
tcnance. and having about them every safeguard
known to modern railroadng two trains on the
Southern Railway carrying heavy lists of pas
sengers. came together in a frightful head-on
collision near Hodges. Tenn. to-day sending
hfty-four persons to death and injuring 12O.
several of whom will probably die.
This appalling loss of life resulted apparently
from the disregarding of orders given to the
two trains to meet at a station which has for
long time been their regular meeting point.
The claim OF failure to see either the station
or signals could not be set up by the engineer of
the westbound train, were he alive to enter
plea OF defence, as the accident happened IN
broad daylight and. according TO the best in
formation obtainable. he had the order in a
little frame in front of him as his engine rushed
by Newmarket station. Soon it came full upon
an eastbound passenger train making for New
market in compliance with instructions to meet
the westbound train, which carried the sleepers
from the East for Knoxville. Chattanooga and
other Southern cities
The possibility exists that the Inflated engi-
neer may have been asleep. but nothing is
known save that the orders were not obeyed.
The trains were on time and not making over
thirty-dve miles an hour. yet the impact as they
other was frightfuI
Both engines and the major portion OF both
trains were demolished and why the orders
were disregarded or misinterpreted will prob
ably never be known. as the engineers Of the
two trains were crushed, their bodies remain
ing for hours under the wreckage of the loco
motives.
Some Of the bodies have not yet been recovered.
and many remain unidentified.

tire Patrons of the Pests.

There was trouble at the Garden Theatre last
night between Mr. Savage the manager and those
pests. the sidewalk ticket spectators. The great
success of George Ades new play has caused such
a rush for seats that the theatre is too small TO
cope with IT, and the spectators. seeing harvest
in Saturday night crowd. bought tickets worth
about $500.
Mr.. Savage mounted two with megaphones
outside the entrance TO tell the crowd that the
specuator seats would be refused at the door. and
so far as possible they identified and refused
at the door. AS a result the spectators lost
heavily. and they talk OF bringing some sort
OF suit against Mr. Savage
AS the entrance 10 the theatre IS narrow and the
sidewalk further hemmed in by the pillars OF the
coonnade, a number OF spectators can he con-

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIVE TRIBUNE. ]

San Francisco. Sept. 24.-some excitement was
caused in shipping circles this afternoon when
the Marine Exchange observer on top OF Mount
Tamalpas announced that he had sighted
mysterious foreign cruiser about thirty miles
out with flag displayed. steaming straight
toward this port from the west After coming
in about ten miles the cruiser suddenly changed
her course and headed for the southwest. and
was soon lost to sight
At no time while she was in view OF the OBJ
servers powerful glass did she display any flag
that would give a clew to her Identity but she
was clearly foreign cruiser. and from her size
u is supposed that she the Russian cruiser
Korea. reported as sighted near Victoria and be-
leved 20 have accompanied The cruiser Lena
across the Pacific. The fact that she displayed
no flag is regarded here as suspicious showing
that she wished 10 conceal her identity. 1t is
not possible that the vesse! came in within
twenty miles Of the Golden Gate to get her bear
ings for these she could have secured from the
Farallone Islands. which are forty miles directly
west OF San Francisco.
