NET ON A SHARP CURVE.
Disobedience of Orders Causes Fright
full Wreck in Tennessee Sixty
six Persons Killed.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-Sixty-
jured (many of whom will die) in
head on collision on the Southern rail-
way - miles east of this city at 1918
Saturday morning. The engineer of
the West-bound train, SO investigation
shows, was directly responsible for the
disaster He deliberately disobeyed or
ders. Why, will never be known, for
he was crushed to death beneath his
engine and his fireman suffered a like
fate. Hodges, a little station, was to
be the meeting point of the two trains.
The west-bound received orders to
take the sidetrack at the depot and
await the east-bound train. The eu-
gineer received his orders and placed
the slip of yellow paper in a little
frame hanging in the cab where it
would be constantly before him. There
are but two possible explanations Of
his failure to follow orders; he may
have gone to sleep or the still more
remote chance of him being suddenly
stricken blind.
The crash came on sharp curve,
between high banks. When the first
impact came the passengers on the
east-bound train were hurled from
their seats and thrown toward the
front end of the cars. Then, in an in
slant, before they could regain their
feet, the cars commenced to telescope
and close up as a hatrack is COM
pressed. AS the jaws of wood and iron
came together they killed and manned
the helpless, huddled masses of hui
mainly. Dozens of bodies were simply
crushed out of all semblance to human
form, limbs were torn off, and bones
broken by the hundred. In one car
was found a woman pinioned by a
piece of split timber which had gone
| completely through her body A little
child, Quivering in deaths agony, lay
| beneath the woman. The child died
ten minutes later. Within a few feet
of the little one lay woman's head,
while the decapitated body was several
| feet away.
In one car but two persons escaped
| alive. Congressman Henry R. Gibson
from the Second congressional district
| of Tennessee and one other man,
| whose name is not known, were the
| fortunates. The congressman was en-
| route to Russellville, Tenn, to deliver
| a political address and was reading his
address when the collision occurred.
| When he realized what had happened
| he found his legs pinioned fast, but
managed to extricate himself
| A large number of people were going
from Knoxville to Newmarket to at
| tend the funeral of w. r. King, a
prominent citizen of that place, who
died Friday. James King, one of the
dead, was a brother of w. R. King,
| and five members of the King family
| in all were killed, while several rela-
| tives, though rot of the same name,
were injured.

is IL feet deep and walled up with stone
like WELL
The girls fell eight feet from the floor
ing before striking the filth, and the
struggles of those who were on top kept
at least nine underneath until they were
| dead. The frame shed over these vaults
were about 20 feet square, without win
dows and with only one narrow door
way, so that only one little girl escaped
from the door. She ran into the school
building and told the teachers what had
happened. Principal T. L. Simmerman
and the seven other teachers rushed to
the rescue. The ladies gave the alarm
about the vicinity, while Principal Sim
norman secured ladder, on which the
drenching girls climbed out, most of
them fainting as soon as they reached
the surface The teachers were soon re-
inforced by the entire population of the
town, the police and fire departments

| able to climb out on the ladders them
selves were rescued by Principal Sim
Norman who finally tainted. Then 9th
ers went into the vault and kept bring

cleared. The fremen drained the vault,
