All traffic on the Fulton division
of the Illinois Central railroad was
tied up from Wednesday night at 10
o'clock until today up to the time we
went to press on account of serious
freight wreck one mile south of Mel
rose, which occurred Wednesday
night at 10 o'clock. 1t is reported
chat southbound through freight,
in charge of Conductor Rudolph threw
a drawbar just as it rounded a curve
between Melrose and Brighton and
another southbound freight had a
.rear-end collision with the stalled
train. No one was killed and no one
was hurt Several received scratches
more or less. Both racks are badly
torn up. From advices received here,
about Is or 30 cars of both trains
were telescoped.
No. 1, fast train south, which is
due here 1929 p, M, was stopped
and was forced to stay here until
early this morning, when it was or
dered back to Fulton. from which
place it will proceed over the ola
main line through Jackson. All
Memphis passengers Were left here
and will be taken to their destina-
tion on the accommoda ion train TO-
day. Trains Nos. 1903, from Louis
vile and Cincinnati; 3, from Chicago,
ard 2, from New Orleans, were sent
over the Jackson division today.
Reunion crowds from this place,
who expected to attend this annual
affair and depended on the train for
heir way Of geeting there, were de-
layed for several hours. On account
Of the condition Of the roads a great
many prospective visitors to the re-
union took this method of getting
there.
Two train loads of negroes, who
had been on an excursion to Paducah,
KY. arrived here during the night
and were held up by the wreck. To-
day the town, and especially around
the depot, is simply crowded with
negroes.
The greatest inconvenience was
suffered by the Memphis passengers
on No. /, who were forced to spend
he night here on the train and then
were forced to lay over here until
the track was cleared.
On account of the wreck the morn
ing papers and mail from both ways
were delayed for several hours.
It is almost miraculous that no one
was killed or seriously hurt in a
wreck of this proportion. The cars
were piled UP two and three deep and
both tracks blockaded and torn up
badly for quite long distance. Work
was begun Immediately to repair the
damage and remove the blockade.
The wrecking crew arrived very soon
after the accident and the work has
continued without cessation since. 1t
is thought that the track will be clear
this afternoon.
