Knoxville. Tenn, Sept. 26,-Running
on a road bed in a supposedly hlgh
condition of maintenance and having
about them every safeguard known to
modern railToauing, two trains OF the
Southern railway carrying heavy lists
of passengers came together in a
frightful head-ent collision neal
Hodges, Tenn, Saturday, killing ga
people and injuring 120, several of
whom will probably die.
This appalling loss of life and maim'
ing of living resulted apparently from
disregarding orders given the two
trains to meet at a station which has
long been their regular meeting point.
The claim of failure to see the station
or signals cannot be set up by the en-
gineer Of the west-bound train, were

te accident happened in broad day,
light, and, according to the best pos
sible information obtainable he had
the order in little frame in front OF
him as his engine rushed by the sta
ton and a mile and half further on
came full upon the eastbOund paSSen-
ger train making for Hodges, in com
pliance with instructions to meet the
westbound train. The possibility eX-
lists that the Inflated engineer may
have been asleep or that death had
suddenly taken the sight from his
eyes before Hodges was reached but
nothing is known save that the orders
were not obeyed. The trains were on
time and not making over 35 miles an
hour, yet the impact as they rounded
a curve and came suddenly upon each
other was frightful, Both engines and
the major portions of both trains were
demolished and why the orders were
disregarded or misinterpreted win
probably never be known, as the engi-
neers of both trains were crushed,
their bodies remaining for hours I'M
der the wreckage Of their locomotives.
Some bodies are not yet recovered and
may remain unidentified The known
dead are:
