 Six loaded cars, three of coal and three box cars, which made up part of a southLound freight train. left the rails on the curve jasr above the Tol. land avenue crossing Monday morning at about 7.30 o'clock and tore up the rails and road bed in such a way that the wreck appeared to be one of the worst the Southern division of the c. V. has known in years. The pres sure from long string of cars behind them caused the derailed cars to buck
 
 of the cars completely off their trucks. | Three others were tipped against the | wall that borders the track at this l point. No one was on the wrecked | cars and none of the crew was injured. The wreck looked as if it would re- luire number of days to clean it up md repair the road bed and rails, but, with the aid of a steam derrick from l~- III 0lor, away by Tuesday afternoon. A bro- 1en wheel or a spread rail is believed .o have been the cause of the derail- ment. The second car behind the en- zine was the first one to leave the | irons and it was followed by the five | cars behind it. The train was moving | very slowly, but when the derailed | cars began to drag the coupling on the front of the first wrecked car un- clasped and the engine and one car separated from the rest of the train. For this reason the brakes could not be thrown on so the rear cars of the train which damned against the wrecked six, causing them to buckle up befOre coming to a standstill In some places the trucks of the cars trokethrough the ties and plOwed in to the ground to a depth of two or three feet. Four of the wrecked cars were consigned for this town. The three coal cars were for George Gary, and car containing bags of feed was consigned to the c. H. Moore Co. The latter car was unloaded near where it was wrecked and the contents of one of the coal cars were dumped on one side of the track so the car might be removed easily. Another tox car con- tained slabs of spelter, each slab weighing close to 100 pounds This car proved to be the hardest one to remove.
