ilary Lire Price and Frank Savage,
mlfircAiM , Wilson are badly hurt
ind ten other negroes carry bruises
h their bodies, sonie of which may
esult seriously. Engineer George
)unn, of this city, is also injured,
hough not seriously, and three
reight cars owned by the Norfolk
Southern Hallway Company are In
ishes.
The excursion train of eight orach
s left Wilson for New ilern with sev:
iral hundred negro passengers. The
rain was in charge of Engineer
leorge Dunn and Conductor George
landers. A short time before the
irrival of the excursion train at
I'anceboro. a freight train with En-*
Sinecr Shackleford at the throttle
lulled in on the north switch anu
t was thought that the end of then
rain had cleared the switch far
mongh for the special to safely pass,
lowever, this proved not to be tlie
r.ise%
The excursion train came along at
i muucruie rate and but for this fact I
he loss of life would have doubtles?
Seen heavy. Reaching the switch.
;he engine of the excursion train
washed into the rear end of the
freight train demolishing the caboose
and overturning two empty
Treight cars. Immediately pandemonium
reigned supreme among the
excursionists. Every one on the
'.rain was more or less shaken up and
the thirteen above mentioned were
more seriously hurt than the others
After the crash the rear end of
the freight train caught Arc ffom
the engine of the excursion train and
three empty freight cars were destroyed.
The engine of the passen-1
gcr train was badly damaged and I
there was slight damage to one orl
two of the passenger cars.
As booh as possible after the accident
the excursionists were brought
to New Rem, reaching here short-1
ly after 3 o'clock. The injured were
at niire given medical attention and
everything possible for their comfort
was done for them by the local
officials of the Norfolk Southern
Railway Compan?
Just who is to blame for the accident
Is a matter of speculation and
will not be knowrj until after an investigation
which will be made
promptly.
