Through the carelessness of a negro fireman, a -. powerful locomo tive broke looKefioni the Seaboard yards this morning, beaded .north and after running about eight miles crashed headon into southbound pas senger train No. !13, instantly kill ing Kngineer W. K.' Kirkvvood, and slightly injuring several passengers. It was about 4:05 o'clock this morning that, the accident occurred, just before day light, the regular train being due in Italeigh at ::). Two magnificent locomotives are 1 ing beside the track completely demolished and overturned, and the express car is telescoped over the tank from the southbound engine. None of the passenger cars left the track and the passengers, except for a rather severe shake-up are unin jured. Raleigh Passengers. On train No. 3S were Rev. J. K. Cole, superintendent of the Metho dist Orphanage; Dr. Delia Dixon 'Carroll and Douglas, son of Mr. 11. S. heard, district passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line. .Mr. Cole, who was returning from lioykins, Va., took the train at Norliiuv. lor llnleigh. He says that when the ac cident occured lie had no idea that it was a wreck as the shock was not sufficiently.-severe. ''.and his sup position was that an air brake pipe had broken and the brakes suddenly applied. His train had just come on the main line after being side trneked at N'euse for the northbound truin to pass. Mr. Cole says his train was not traveling at full Bpeed as it was going up hill and had only a few minutes start before the run away locomotive struck it. Pas sengers immediately got out of the cars to investigate. The express messenger, C. K. Hudgins of Rich mond, Va., was hemmed in his car but was soon extricated by willing hands. He was not badly hurt, be ing able to walk back to the Pull man where he was induced to lie down. Who Is ltesponsible? An investigation at the Seaboard yards today brought forth In forma-, tion which places the blame for the runaway engine on either its fire man, Jim Davis, or Hostler Walters, who was on duty at that time. As Fireman Davis appears to have been the last person on the engine, he is, no doubt, guilty of gross negligence which permitted the engine to break away down hill and strike the in bound passenger train. Mr. C M. Pusey, round house fireman, states that each fireman coming in from bin run is required to till the lubricator of bis locomotive, and perform other minor duties before leaving the en gine. The runaway engine, No. 42 had come In at 3:30 from Monroe in charge of Engineer CharleH Page and Fireman DaviB. Mr. Page left his engine at the usual place and J lost ler Walters placed It over the ajihplt on the side track next to the roal chute for the purpose of having the lire drawn Out. Mr. Walters stotes positively that he left the en gine with its reverse lever In the backward motion, headed north with brakes set hard and about 190 pounds of steam. He also states that Davis was on the engine vhen he left it, filling the lubricator. It is a rule at the Seaboard yards that all locomotives must bo set with the reverse levers in such position as to move southward in case the throttle were suddenly opened. ThiB is because the track has a down Krade to the north, and in case an engine breaks away going south the heavy grade would soon stop it. Mr. Pusey also says that in order to fill the lubricator on engine No. 42, the attendant icannot get to the necessary position for doing the work conveniently without climbing over the engineer's seat or setting the reverse lever In a forward posi tion. Mr. Pusey's supposlton Is that Davis, after filling the lubricator set the reverse lever In front motion, and in leaving the cab struck the throttle latch which in turn allowed the steam pressure to open the I hrottle slightly, sd at .lie moment the air brake pressure became suf- hcicntly reduced, the pressure on the pistons quickly- put. th engine in minion and iroint: forward down grade accelerating the speed every moment anct striKing me passenger train at terrific speed. An examination of the type of locomotive, mentioned above, re vealed the fact thut the throttle lever and latch both extend to the right far enough to be entirely con vnnii.nl for I lip driver's left hand and, in Coming down from the right hand side of the boiler, it is very easy lor one's clothing to strike the latch-and release the throttle. Micro is always a pressure on. the throttle anil when released by the latch il will open easily. It. was also found thai' it is1 rather, inconvenient -to get. away from the lubricator without seling the 'reverse lever forward. Fireman Davis -could very easily have struck the throttle and opened it without being aware of the fact, as the locomotive's brakes were set tight and remained so for probably four or live minutes, that is until the pressure in : the brake cylinders were reduced to some extent Hostler Walters and Engineer O. E. Naylor, were near the "runaway en gine when it started. They both said that they attempted to stop it hut it made " such quick getaway, gain ing momentum every instant, that it was gone before they could get to it. With Inn pounds of steam, and a down grade, i t was soon lost to sight and both men knew that something serious would soon hap pen, aware of the fact that one of the Seaboard's fastest trains would be due in a few minutes, and could not possibly avoid the on-rushing locomotive headed directly for it. Fireman's Story. "We had just cleared the switch this side of Neuse, said liazie Thomas, the fireman with Mr. Kirk-u-orwl and the man had just locked it.
