I editor Of the Sentinel, was on the train,

Swigart gave the following description
of the collision:
Fortunate to Escape
I'VE had passed by the place where
| the wreck occurred a few days ago,
and many of the passengers were re-
marking how fortunate the people were
in escaping. 1 should say that we were
two and half miles this side of Fill
more when we were almost thrown
from our seats by the quick application
of the air brakes.
"The engineer saw the runaway car
coming and put on the brakes and then
reversed the engine in an endeavor to
back away and avoid a collision. Not
being able to do this he put on the
! brakes again and jumped.
when the crash came nearly every
body was thrown from the seats. The
people who were injured were those
who were attempting to get from the
train.
"The oncoming oil car drove the cab
from the engine and left it upon the
tender. The enginemen would surely
have been killed If they had remained
+ at their posts.
1.-THE engine was derailed and it took
about three hours to get it back upon
the track and pull 1t to the next sta
ton, where 1t was left"

Ben Riggs was attempting to get off
from the train and was at the rear
door when the car struck the train.
The door was slammed shut, crushing

j. H. Billings remained in his seat

the seat in front of him. The shock
broke the handspring in his watch
which stopped at 5:31 o'clock, giving
the exact time of the collision.
Others were bruised.
Many sustained a shock they Will
never forget from the suspense of
waiting from the time the brakes were

 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The condition of the local real estate market yesterday was unchanged. A steady demand for property is made and good prices prevail. A local real estate agent in speaking of the market stated that only small per cent of the in- quiries that come in can be filled, the difficulty being in finding suitable prop erty at suitable prices. He stated, how ever, that the market is in a very en- eouraging condition and that as the sum- mer months approach the activity will no doubt increase greatly.
 While papers for a number of transae- tions in local real estate were filed In the probate clerks office yesterday, only one involved an amount which exceeded the 5000 mark This one was as follows:
 Sarah E. Eehols and James F. Echols to J. Fl. Perkins, two lots in Ensley, the consideration in the deal being $500.

Washington. February 2S.-For the first time since May l. 1904, when the govern ment made it's payment of s5o0OO,OOO for the Panama canal property and s4,6OO,000 loaned the Louisiana Purchase Exposition company, the daily treasury statement issued today shows for the fiscal year surplus of receipts over expenditures. The surplus today amounts of $1,1O20 cos.

A very large part of this sum was paid out for Panama canal construction.
