Trains Collide al Mckenzie.

senger train No. So, which left Hick-
man at 1880 p. m, Monday, on
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway, and an extra freight
No. 1874, occurred one mile east Of
Mckenzie, Tenn, at rs o'clock
Tuesday morning, but was no loss Of
life, and only a few Of the passengers
and train crews received injuries,
none being fatally hurt. The two
engines we're locked into each other
Both trains we're making about
thirty miles an hour, and the pas
senger engine, No. 262, in charge
of Conductor CORNER and Engineer,
Steve Gallager, was just rounding a
curve, when the freight train was
sighted, and although the emergency
brake was used, the passenger train
was not brought to a stop, and
crashed into the freight train, going
at a fast rate of speed. The bag
gage and express car on the passen-
ger train telescoped the mail car,
and fortunately for Mail Clerk Oil
yer and his assistants, who we're
working in the front end Of the car,
or certain death would have been
their part. Expressman Roach was
thrown from one end of his car to
the other with much force, and was
considerably bruised, as we're the
mail clerks. The baggageman had
just gone into the day coach for a
drink Of water, and thus saved his
life. The freight train was in
charge of Condu ctor Warner and
Engineer Tracy. The engineers and
firemen of both trains jumped, and
Engineer Tracy was thrown against
fence alongside Of the road and
internally injured, and is in criti-
cal condition. Engineer Gallager
and Conductor Warner we're pain
fully bruised. All were carried TO
Nashville, their home. The wreck
ing crews from Nashville, Martin
and Hollow Rock Junction were early
on the scene and traffic was resum-
ed about noon.
Two ladies in the day coach Of
the passenger train we're badly
bruised and all the passengers more
or less shaken up and thrown out of
seats. The accident happened about
rs O'Clock a. m. Passengers from
the Dixie Flyer from St. Louis and
other trains were transferred around
the wreck to special provided and
went into Nashville only few hours
late, while the crews on the Dixie
Flyer and No. IS did not get away
from Mckenzie until noon, east
bound.
Bernie Austin, railroad operator
at Mckenzie, made the following
statement:
al received a message at 1880

Burlington System Loses in Damage
Suit in Federal Court.
Dubuque, May 13.-The motion to
direct a verdict in the case of Strong,
administrator of the estate of Gustave
Stremple, deceased, against the Bur
lington Railroad company in the suit
for $4,000 damages for the death OF
Stremple, was sustained by Judge Bon
son in the district court. 1t was shown
that Stremple had ample warning of
the trains approach. Deceased was
killed while a member of the signal
gang of the road employed in Cook
county, Illinois. The fellow servant
law of Iowa has no place in Illinois.
The common law providing that
master is not responsible for the death
of a servant when the fellow servant
was shown to be careless prevails, al
tho the Illinois supreme court holds
men employed in different departments
of the same institution are not fellow
servants. 1t was held here that the
common law, exclusive of the supreme
court ruling, alone holds in the cases
tried in Iowa where the cause arises
in Illinois. The point was raised the
first time in Iowa.
