Wreck on the c., A. & w.

A washout on the c., A. & w
about seven miles from the sta
ton at Charleston wrecked a
trough freight train Wednesday
night shortly after midnight, and
the engineer, conductor, fireman
and head brakeman were caught
in the wreckage and severely
bruised and scalded.
The wreck occurred near the
"A. &. L. crossing and the train
was moving slowly. 1t had
been raining several hours and
the low flat country rescmbled a
river The washout removed
the dirt for about IS feet on a
fill about 8 feet high. The en-
gine plunged in and rolled over
on one side and the tender turn
ed completely over. On top cf
this was piled four box cars.
Conductor Hugh Knight, of
McBee, was on the engine and
he was caught in the debris and
scaided by the boiling water so
severely that he has been in a
critical condition in Charles
ton hospital.
Engineer L. Nj. Ard escaped
without serious injuries, though
he was bruised and
scalded painfully. Sam Wills
the negro fireman, and Jean
Hendricks, brakeman, were
buried in the coal, dirt and other
wreckage and had to be extrica.
tep. Both will live.
Mr.. Sam Turner, of Pageland,
the flagman, was in the cab at
the rear of the train of % cars,
and he was thrown against a
stove and slightly scratched by
the sudden stopping of the train.
He then waded waist deep in
water to the wasllout and began
at once the work of rescuing
those who were pinned under
the mass of debris. In doing
this work he stepped into a pool
OF hot water and scalded his
right foot. He went with the
other wounded ones TO the hos
pital and remained a day or two
and then came home for few
days.
The engine was a large new
one and the steel cab saved the
life OF the fireman. and perhaps

ly few months, and the land is
low and swampy.
Fortunately for the injured
ones, there was large crew of
section hands quartered only a
short distance away. These
men were summoned at once
and they aided in extricating the
injured ones.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
GREATLY INCREASED
WITH NEW CONNECTIONS, THE
AMOUNT NOW is LARGER
THAN EVER.

With complete connections with TIL
Der Company, and the Meridian Fer
tilizer Plant, the city water supply
which was materially cut Sunday
when a break occurred in the deeI
artesian well which supplies the great
er part of the water consumed in
Hattiesburg, Today is greater than
ever.
In the meantime, arrangements
have been made with the Tatum oil
works for the use of its machinery,
when an attempt will be made to as
certain what happened to the deep
we'll which has given such satisfaction
up to the present time. .
Mayor Batson said today that 1t
would be an easy matter to discover
the trouble. If there Is big break,
he believes that it can be fixed. If
the trouble lies elsewhere, or If the
break cannot be remedied, then the
city, he said, would go to work i'm
mediately to bore another well on the
lot adjoining the pumping station.
'The supply available today" said
the mayor, SIS greater by many thou
sands of gallons to that which former
ly was at our command There are
two or three reservoirs at the lumber
mills, and a huge one at the ferti-
lizer plant 1t was an easy matter to
connect the two outside systems with
that of the city"
1t was only few weeks ago that
Capt. Farley made arrangements to
connect the city water works with
those of the Newman company. He
did not anticipate any thouble with
the we'll at the time, but did it with
a view of increasing the possibilities
of the fire department. That Capt.
Fairley's foresight has saved the city
much embarrassment is admitted on
all sides today
1t is not known how long it will take
to learn where the trouble with the
well lies. 1t probably will be two or
three days yet.
In the meantime, water is being OBJ
tanned from the old wells, two of
them, and from the lumber mill and
fertilizer plants supplies. 4-.re.
