CAUSE OF THE AWFUL WRECK.
Operator Allowed Two Trains on Same
Block at Same Time.

Lynchburg, Va.-The main cause
Of the awful wreck near Lawyers de-
pot, ten miles south of this city, in
which President Spencer and his party
Of prominent New York and Baltimore
men lost their lives, is laid absolutely
at the door of G.. D. Mattox, the op-
orator, who was in charge of the block
telegraph station at Ragoon. Mat
tox, who disappeared after being re-
lieved less than an hour after the
accident, has not been found, despite
the fact that railway detectives have
secured the country around the wreck,
and about his home at Sandy Level, in
Pittsylvania county, 40 miles from the
scene of the accident, on a small
branch line Of the Southern. An Of
fetal Of the Southern railway stated
that the company was desirous of ap-
pretending Mattox, in order to secure
a statement from him that might throw
some light on the causes that led him
to allow two trains in the same block
at the same time. This official was
nor prepared to state whether or not
the company would take steps to pros
ecute the missing operator, and he did
not know if he could be prosecuted.
