woPAssENGERS COLLIDE

=, a roa6beu in q supposedly nlSn con
,ition OF maintenance, and having
,ohout them every safeguard known tc
modern railroad, two trains on the
corthern railway carrying heavy lists
If messengers came together in a fright,
f,T head-on collision near Hodges
srann. sending 62 persons to death anG
iniuring 100. several of whom will prob,
ably die.
! This appalling loss OF life and MAIN
ling of the living resulted apparently
from the disregarding of orders given
IN the two trains to meet at a station
which for a long time had been theil
regular meeting point. This action on
the part of the engineer of the west
hornd train is made ineXplicable
nv the fact that the accident happened
In broad daylight, and according to the
hest information obtainable he had the
,order in a little frame in front of him
as his monster of iron and steel rushed
nv the station and n mile and a half
further on came upon an e~astbound
passenger train. The possibility exists
that the Inflated engineer may have
been asleep.
Running at High Speed.
The rains were on time and not
making thirty-five miles al 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 We're de-
nollshed, and why the orders were dis
or mfsinterpreted may prob
ably be known, as the engineers
II the two trains were crushed, their
remaining for hours under the
rrerkl pa Of tbpir 1oromnttyaS
The collision was between eastbOund
,assenger train No. II and westbound
,assenger train No. IS from Bristol. Nc.
2 was a heavy train, carrying three
'ulmans, two day coaches and a mail
nd baggage car. No. IS was g light
train. The greatest loss Of life
on the e~astbound train. while
n the w~cstbound train only the en-
inc crew were killed.
Relief trains We're dispatched from
knoxville within an hour, and all
doing all they could when the To-
al corps arrived.
The first train reached here from the
Gene of rhe wreck at 1920 o'clock,
ringing about sixty of the injured.
Xix OF the injured aboard had died
en- route to the city, and after
heir bodies were taken off. the train
,roceeded to n point near the genera
where vehicles were In wait
ne and a large force of physicians
ready to receive the wounded. The
text train from the wreck arrived
shortly after S O'clock. 1t brought the
of ~forty-three dead. The six
who died IN route brings the
list up to fOTty-nine, and there are at
east six more at the scene of the
EreCk. o of the bodies Of the train
nen having yet been recovered.
