COLLISION ON SEABOARD,
FREIGHT TRAIN AND PASSENGER
TRAIN RAN INTO EACH OTHER
AND WERE WRECKED.
Claimed that Accident Was Due to
Neglect to Despatch Watchman
From Frieght Several People In
jured and Both Engines Were De
molished. At Watkins last Sat. morning about
noon, on the Seaboard's Railway line
between Durham and Heenderson. the
10,50 passenger train out from Dur
ham and aa freight approaching
from the oposite direction crashed
into each other and a number cf pas
senger train were injureda., Both, tra
serjger train weire injured. Both tra,"ur
ins were badly damaged the engines
bang reduced to a mass cf twisted
iron. Frcm aceor.nts the responsibili
ity for the accident seeimed to lay
with the fx-i:eght it being alleged
that no flagman was seen ahead.
This dereliction owing to the failure
to reach the siding gave the con
ductor of the passenger no inkling cf
the danger and the wreck took
pl-ac? without amy warning. The
tracks were badly torn up and was
closed to traffic fcr seme Vme. All
on the freight escaped injury, they
jumped before the coilLssion.
Th efrieght was running at very
slow speed and was atout to enter
the side track where it was to give
the inlet to the passenger train. When
the colflssion occured. The passen
ger was approaching at the usual
schedule speed. Engineer Rogers of
the passe pger train, jumped iin time
to save himself from injuries more
serious than the spraining of an anr
kle. Conductor Pow'ell sustained a
painful cut in the back of his head
and Expressman. Parrott was dama
ged to the extent of having his
colli a r bone fractured. A section
hand, from Oxford, Allen LeMay, was
on his way to Henderson to get his
check for his week's1 pay. It has been
erromously stated that he was a hobo
beating his way.
In addition to the train men. sev
eral passengers were slightly .'injured
to say nothing of their being terri
bly frightened. Several young la
dies from Kitt.relll sustained slight
hurts but messsages were sent from
them to Durham, Where they had
been visiting, that the injuries were
nothing but a bad shakeup. The
youii ladies were Miss Blaeki-all and
M-Uses Cora and Beverly Hunt.
