made on the track until this car is
replaced Immediately after the ac-
cident word was sent to the Hanni-
bal division and the gigantic derrick
arrived this morning and started re-
placing the broken parts of the car
at once.
On the interior of the car twelve
Greek laborers were digging coal and
passing 1t out of small window to
others who carried it away to large
pile. One witnessing the sight would
think that coal mine was in opera
ton by the noise of shovels and the
large columns of coal dust.
Much credit must be given to the

short time when it had the wheels
of the car on the track and was re
