Come Together on Curve Near Nor.

Norlina, N. c., Nov. 19.-Eight
trainmen were killed and three badly
injured near here early today, when
two Seaboard Air Line through pas
senger trains, running between New
York and Jacksonville, Fla, collided
head-on. Both locomotives and three
passenger coaches were demolished.
Further deaths and injuries were pre-
vented by the fact that there were no
passengers in the coaches demolished.
The dead: Will A Fairon, engineer,
Raleigh; Chas. A. Beckham, engineer,
Raleigh; Richard Gray, negro fireman,

heading.
The injured: Mr.. Bryant, baggage
master, badly burned about body ana
face; Mr.. Brown, baggagemaster,
badly bruised; Willis Pope, negro por,
ter scalded about the head and neck.
The wreck occurred seven miles
north of here, at a o'clock this
morning, just as train No. 81, south
bound, was coming out of long curve
In deep fill. Both trains were run
ming at full speed and the engineer
OF neither could have seen the ap-
proach of the other for more than a
minute before the crash.
The wreckage did not catch fire aoo
there was no panic among the pas
sengers. There was suffering among
the passengers on account of the cold.
The cause of the wreck is as vet un.
known but it is believed to have re.
suited from a misreading of orders.
Shortly after the wreck occurred
nearby farmers brought coffee to the
scene for the benefit of the chillec
passengers and injured. Wreckrn-
crews and relief trains were sent out
from Raleigh and by late this after
noon the track was clear of wreck
age.
! One of the women passengers was
hurled backwards from her berth to
the compartment back of her. She
tore hole through the thin partition
but escaped injury.
