DISASTER STILL FOR CENTRAL
Terrible Wreck Sunday Morning is
Worst Yet,

Central railway trains arriving in
Americas yesterday from Macon and
Atlanta came late still, as the result of
thr frightful hesd-on collision occur
ring Sunday morning at Big Indian
creek, two or three miles to the south
of Fort Valley.
In the collision three or four lives
were lost and two freight trains entire.
ly demolished.
No trains could pass the wreck all
day, and the only ones reaching Amer
icus from Macon came late IN the af-
ternoon Sunday, going all the way
around by Columbus.
The collision occurred at 3:45 o'clock
Sunday morning between a fruit train,
which left Americus at midnight, and
a special freight going to Albany. The
collision was the result of some mis-
take in orders for passing of trains.
MarshsllvilIe was the designated
passing point, but the northbound
train, pulled by gigantic engine CT
the ''bsttleship" clasg, failed to stop
there. and three or four miles beyond
met the extra freight speeding to the
meeting point.
The trains met at "a curve and upon
an embankment forty feet high. The
engines locked in deadly embrace,
while cars of fruit and merchandise
filed the chasm.
Engineers R. L. Boazman and J. L.
Yates were both severely but not ia
tally injured Three negro brakemen
were killed outright.
The scene at the wreck was one of
the widest confusion. The two en-
ginee, strange to say, never Left the
road-bed, but smashed cars, twisted
rails and a mass of indistipguishabIe
debris were piled high on either side
of the track.
Many Of the cars went crashing down
the 40-foot embankment, filing the
space below with wreckage of every
description.
The wrecked cars were loaded with
watermelons and pears, which were
strewn for several hundred feet on
both sides of the track.
Eleven cars were completely demol
ished, nothing being left save the
trucks, while five or six Others were
so badly damaged as to render them
useless, Both engines were so badly
damaged as to require almost com
plete rebuilding.
The wreck was cleared yesterday and
delayed trains are running again, al
though few of those due in Americas
came on schedule.

City Engineer ROsewater Is willing to
stake all claims he may have to the Office

request Mayor Dahlman will not send the
name of a candidate for city engineer To the
council Tuesday night That body will be
compelled to consent to Rosewater or elect
a candidate of its own to start litigation
TO Gust the incumbent.
Councilman are not willing to say what
they will do. They are without strong
and mutually agreeable candidate and are
somewhat at sea about the legal phases of
the matter. BY Tuesday night, however, II
is supposed the majority will know what 1t
wants to do and will either subsids or
draw up the lines for a new night.
Councilman Elsasser announced Saturday
morning that he was through with the
fight on the mayor and Rosewater.
The case of Thomas f. Lee, whom the
mayor has insisted shall remain as city
prosecutor, looks somewhat different Some
time ago all the councilmen except Zimman
and jackson petitioned the mayor in writ
ing TO pass up Lee and nominate ii. s.
Daniels for the place. The mayor con.
tinued TO send in Lees name. At the last
council meeting McGOvern voted 70 con-
firm Lee for the first time, giving a total
of five votes so disposed

concerned there Is no change in the situa-
ton.

r. H. Hartman is to follow the lead of

the officers Of the Union Pacific are plan
ming to build several large greenhouses

to provide every table In the dining cars
Of the entire system with a fresh bouquet
OF cut flowers at every meal. In addition

to grow flowers on a scale sufficiently large
to allow free distribution of roses u

flower, not only in dining cars. but to pas
sengers in every car Of every train and IN
winter as we'll as in summer, the i6ea being
to make patrons feel that the flowers are
part of the trip over this road ana not
precious little souvenirs.
The greenhouses probably will be located
at Grand Island, Cheyenne. Denver and

In California and in the territory Of the
Sunset route in the south the company has
no trouble in getting outdoor flowers all
year. But even in these districts the
scheme OF flowers for passengers and car
decorations is to be enlarged upon. Dining
rooms along all lines are TO be supplied
freely with plants and blooms. The Cali
fornia and southern resources with the
greenhouses TO be built aging the central
route will put the Union, Southern Pacific
and Oregon Short Line in position where
they may become known as the floral lines,
an appellation officers Of the Hartman lines
hope to merit.
