z ENGINES TURN
OVER; FOUR HURT
ENGINES STRUCK HOUSE WITHOUT
INJURING OCCUPANTS.
Engineer Pinned in His Cab and Held
Prisoner for an Hour, While Res
cuers Worked Frantically to
Save His Life. :.

Memphis. from the track ~
If by some unseen force, two gigantic IL
linois Central Railroad locomotives
jumped the curve at Nettleton avenue
and turned over.
Four people were injured. The crew
OF the first engine was buried beneath
the wreckage.
The second engine plunged into a
house standing near the curve and came
within an ace of claiming a fifth vic
tina woman.
The accident was one of the most
spectacular in the annals of Memphis
railroads.
The train had just left the Union sta.
ton. 1t was being run as double-head
er and the two big type moguls were
just getting up speed to take the sharp
turns in the track.
As they swung into Nettleton avenue
the first engine leaned heavily The
next second there was a wild plunge,
and both locomotives were thrown into
a tangled heap OF twisted and splintered
steel.
Engineer A. L. Robertson of the lead
ing locomotive and his fireman, w. T.
Cooper, both Memphis men, were caught
in their cab.
Charles j. Barnett, engineer of the Sec
ond locomotive, was hurled from his seat
and fell on top of the wreckage.
His fireman, Will Moore, a negro, was
caught between the cab and the tender.
Hair-raising escapes bordering on the
marvellous were numerous.
The most astounding was that of Rob
ertson, who, after being imprisoned for
over an hour, got of without fatal in
juries.
Barnett was apparently sDatched from
death. He was barely scratched.

PROGRESS IN EDUCATION.
Supt. Brister Sounds Hopeful Note at
Teachers Meet,

Knoxville.-The session of the East
Tennessee Teachers Association was at
tended by fully five hundred teachers
from the varions counties of this sec.
ton of the State. The feature was an
address by Superintendent J. W. Bris-
ter, in which he reviewed educational
legislation in Tennessee, and spoke Of
the plans Of his department for the flu
ture, touching upon the subject Of COM
pulsory education. Superintendent
Brister expressed the opinion that the
great increase in attendance would not
bring proportionate increase in cost
OF maintenance of schools. He predict
ed that if Tennessee maintained her
present strides in educational matters
that within ten years illiteracy would
have virtually disappeared from the
State.

miner FOUND DEAD
ROBERT CARR FOUND DEAD IN
CABIN NEAR FLORENCE.
DEPUTY LEFT SATURDAY
Will Make Investigation. of Cause of
Death and Bring Body
Out to Grangeville.

Word was received by S. A. Ander-
son of the Masonic Lodge last Saturday
to the effect that Robert Carr, an old
time miner of the Central Idaho section,
had been found dead in his cabin,
located in an isolated section of the old
Florence mining camp. The body was
found by Harry Hinkson, a neighboring
prospector who had gone to visit with
Carr. Immediately upon the discovery
Hinkson retraced his steps, impaired
the information to number of neigh:
bors, the party later returning and
viewing the remains. A messagee was
sent out to Higgins and the information
wired in from there.
Immediately upon receipt of the news
Atty. Hattabaugh and Sheriff Eimers
were Informed and Deputy Webb was
sent in to make an investigation and
bring the remains out as it is the desire
of his relatives that the body be buried
at Dayton, Wn., his old home.
The trip is one filled with hardships
this time of year, it being necessary to
cross the divide in going to the spot
where the body was found and ten miles
will have to be made on snow shoes. No
details have been learned and it will be
several days before the return of Webb.
