NARROW ESCAPE IN SOUTHERN WRECK No One Is Killed But Ten Per- sons Are Badly Injured THE ENGINEER MAY DIE Engine and Four Cars Are a Complete Wreck, While the Mail Car
 Split Open and Jumped
 Forty Feet.
THE ENGINEER MAY DIE

Bristol, Tenn, August 12.-While go- ing down grade al the rate of 40 miles an hour, the Washington and Chatta- nooga vestibuled train, southbound left the track on the Southern railway two miles west of Midway, Tenn, at l o'clock this afternoon. The engine turned over and rolled 30 feet down 8 bank. followed by the mail and bag gage and express cars.
 As if by a miracle, nobody was killed, but 10 people were injured. including Engineer Samuel Bush of Knoxville, who is believed to be fatally hurt. He had a leg crushed and a hole cut in his head. Others seriously injured are the fireman. scalded; John R. Shields, ex- press messenger hurt internally; Fay Price, postal clerk, crippled.
 The injured in the wreck were: En- gineer Sam C. Bush of Knoxville, one leg broken and oth erwise bruised.
 Express Messenger Charles Shields of Morristown, Tenn.
 Mail Clerk J. J. McNabb of Mcdonald, Tenn.
 Fireman Edward Ludin of Knoxville.
 The passengers injured are:
 Charles L. Lloyd of Coal Creek. Tenn.
 Charles Sharp. colored, Sheffield, Ala.
 Henry Robinson, coIored, Frankfort, Ky.
 Many of the passengers were shaken up and received bruises and scratches. The engine and four cars are a com plete wreck. The coaches were torn to splinters with out seriously injuring any of the passengers. The mail car was split In two and the floor hurled 40 feet into a field with Postal Clerks R. W. Hunt and Fay Price clinging to it. The fact that the cars in front rolled out of the way of the Pullman cars probably accounts for the escape of so many passengers.
 The wreck. 1t is said, was caused by spreading rails.
 The injured were placed in a ca boose and hurried to Knoxville where the more seriously hurt were placed in a ospital and the others sent to tn cir homes. A relief train with physicians met the wounded.
 Engineer Bush and Fireman Ludin are the more seriously injured, but 1t is not believed that either will die. Bush Is one of the oldest engineers on the Southern and has had many narrow escapes He once lost an eye from an accident.

The law provides for cleo tions in the counties now wet. those vot- ing for liquor to reopen the dispensaries under the systems previously in opera ton. The constitutionality of the law was attacked on two grounds: that the sub ject of the act was not stated in the title and that it is special legislation The court will later hand down an opinion stating the reasons for the rejection of the petition.
