This afternoon the injured, Conductor R. T. Barber, Pos tai Clerk John Eastman. Assistant Postal Clerk Watson and few passengers only slightly hurt arrived here.
 Conductor Barber, who is perhaps the oldest conductor of the railroad, was standing in the rear coach with his back to the rear door when the shock came The momentum at which the train was running threw him forward against the seats for half the car length. He sustain- ed painful bruises of the arm and leg and a fracture of the nose. Postal Clerk Eastman was badly scalded but was able to continue on to his home in Rome, Ga.
 Fireman Shot From Cab.
 Besides Engineer Vining and his fire man, billiard Moon, a one-armed negro tramp who was stealing a ride on the freight train that collided with the pas senger was killed. billiard Moon was found a hundred yards further down the track from where the engines struck The force of the collision had evidently shot him out of the cab and into space His watch was found hanging in tree and had never stopped running.
 Mr. Vining who was a perfect specimen of manhood, being fully six feet high and weighing about 215 pounds was ground to death. His diamond stud and a pin that held 1t to a chain were found but his watch is still missing. He was Knights Templar and one of the most popular men on the road.
 The negro fireman. billiard Moon. was the oldest fireman on the road, having come to the Southern from the old Sel- ma, Rome and Dalton and the East Ten nessee. Virginia and Georgia. He belong ed to several colored orders which took charge of the remains upon their arrival in the city

 It is said the blame for the wreck rests entirely with the crew of the extra freight on the Alabama Great Southern. It Is reported the engineer. Mr Cone. ad- mitted that that he forgot about No. 15. He had orders to meet No. 73, a through freight, at York. and had followed No. 8 on the Alabama Great Southern, the local passenger train, out from Toomsuba No. met No. 15 at York and the latter left immediately. Had two minutes more elapsed before the wreck occurred, or had the Southerns passenger train been two minutes later the wreck would never have occurred as there Is a straight track for over a mile after leaving York The two trains went together at a sharp curve about a mile and a half beyond York
 Selma was wild with excitement this morning when the first reports of the wreck came. It was rumjored that Cap- tain Barber had been killed and that ei irrlnf naesenpers had mel a like fate
