A I'riiiiut Train llrcaks Louse on the Hal ik and liastim l'lroai ani Crashes Tncclhcr With uisastruus Insults. One of the worst railr iad wrecks ever before seen hero occurred Saturday morn ing mi the Haleigh aud Gastou railroad, uear Garrett's sidiug, iu which fourteen box cars were knocked into kindling woods. A through freight loaded with lumber, I gs, tobacco, aud other goods was com mg in from Haleigh, at au early hour Saturday morning The traiu broke loose somewhere between Weldon and Holliug. The engineer slowed up when he reached the yard limits, not knowing, of course, that a portion of his train was running wild. The rear end crashed into the front end with terrible results. Heavy box ears were splintered, and great irons were broken aud twisted like pipe stems. The track was piled with broken timbers aud goods for a considerable distance and fifty yards of track was torn up, The Atlanta Special, northbound, was running ou time aud behind the freight. It reached the wreck all right, but remained there tied up until three o'clock in Ihe allcruoon. As soou as the railroad people received notice of the wreck a large force of hands was at once put to work to clear the track, and a telegraph instrument was put to work al the scene of the disaster iu charge uf Mr. Ncwsnui, of Littleton. To au outsider il looked lo be au aw ful job lo clear the debris from the trucks, but the railroad people ,with their usual energy on great occasions, went to Wulk uU il i if il Was uu every day occur rence, aud by three o'clock the track was qlear, No blame appears to atlacti la any one as it was one of the unfortunate accidents which will happen occasionally. Fortu nately no one was hurt. Another foi tunate thing for the railroad was the fact that there was little or uo perisha ble stuff in the wreck. The cars that were smashed were loaded mostly with lumber. (Joe cur load of cigarettes was badly broken up but most ol t lie packages reu.ained intact. Some of the vile things were scattered around, however, and the cigarette smokers had a picnic. A good many people visited the wreck duting ihe day and thousands of ques tions as to how it all happened were asked. Hut as it is positively against the rules of a railroad company to give outsiders information concerning railroad affairs, the vi-iiois had to pick up just what information they could gather Irom observanon and side remarks Ti Curs Constipation Forever.
