NEWSBOY WRECKED.
Engine Demolished, But No One
Was Seriously Hurt.

Memphis, Tenn.--The Southern rail-
ways early morning train, known as
"The Commercial Appeal N~ewsboy,"
came near being wrecked at huntsville,
Miss, about one hundred miles east of
Memphis. The train, which makes fast
time, struck a fallen tree just before
reaching the station. The engine was
badly broken and was thrown from the
track, but the engineer was able to put
on the air brakes and stop the train
within q short distance.
A coincidence in connection with the
accident is that the same train was
wrecked from the same cause two weeks
ago, the engine striking a fallen tree
a short distance from this city.
Trains were generally delayed today
by the storm, which caused washouts
on many of the local railroads.
