THE TWO ROADS USING SOME TRACK WITHOUT NIGHT SWITCHMAN. (Fly Leased Wire to the Enterprise.) Raleigh, N. C. Aug. 13. This morning at 1.10 o'clock the Sea lioard Air Line northbound train No. 84 hound for Richmond and Washington crashed into a color ed excursion on the Southern 'track under the shed at the Union Station causing the instant death of one and more or less seriously injury of a score or more of the excursionists, one of whom died later. Several of these injured are in a serins condition hut with possibly one exception all will re cover. An excursion last night carried about 250 Raleigh negroes to Durham, .'the train had just re turned and run into the Union Station, passengers were begin ning to get off when the Sealxiard passenger train ran into t lie rear end. crushing in both ends of the CORPORATION COMMISSION IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATES CAUSE OF WRECK AT RALEIGH Illy Leased Wire to the Enterprise ) Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 13. -The t orporation Commission is hold ing an investigation tlii after noon to try and determine the cause of the wreck. From what the Southern railway men say the Seaboard is to blame. The Sea board men will not talk. The Southern people say that when they agreed for the Seaboard to use their tracks, while repairs to the depot are being made, that they reserved the right-of-wa v. GUILFORD BOY BADLY WOUNDED. Ted Stanley, a young white man who lives near (iuilford Col lege, was seriously wounded in a tight, or small race riot, on the Southern's excursion train, sec tion 2. returning to (ireensboro from Norfolk Thursday night. Robert oiies. a t Ireensboro boy, was cut about the head with a bottle and was rendered uncon scious for some time. Stanley is now in the hospital in Danville, and while his wound is if a se rious nature there are hopes for his recovery. The light happened about this way: T. I.. Proctor, of this place, had gone into the coach for col ored passengers. The two boys were either passing through, or went in just behind I'roctor. The latter and one of the negroes got in a difficulty over a bottle of li uor and as a number of the ne groes were .tanked up the trou ble spread. One of the negroes attempted to shoot I'roctor, but the bullet struck Stanley in the right breast and passing through his body. I n the melee Jones was struck on the head wijh a beer bottle and rendered unconscious. The injured boys were laid off at Franklin Junction where they were picked up by section three of the exclusion. They had re ceived medical attention and were accompanied to Danville by a physician. Here they were car ried to the General Hospital. Jones soon got all right and re turned home yesterday at noon but litltle worse for the encounter. DESPERADO CAPTURED Wilmington, Aug. 13. J. P. Walker, the white desperado who murdered Sheriff Jackson Stan land, of nrunswick county, on December, 1908, and wlio broke jail after being captured, was re captured yesterday at Cold Springs, Fla., was identified by a photograph. There was a reward of $2,000 for his arrest. rear coach. The excursionists became panic stricken, many jumping through the car win dows and injuring themselves, who were otherwise unhurt. Will Jordan was on the rear platform and was killed outright. Hugh Perry was terribly mangled and died later. The cause of the wreck is not yet fixed. The Sea board trains were using the Southern tracks and it is prob able that Hlie crew of the Seaboard train knew nothing of the excur sion train. The switch was open and it came in as usual, there be ing no other train scheduled for the depot at this hour. There is no switchman at night and switches are set late in the after noon for the night trains. There is a block signal man but it is not known at this hour why he let both trains pass him. lie did not know however that the Scalmard was nsiiijr the Southern track. and required the Seaboard to slow down jn coming into the station so that they could stop instantly. Not withstanding this agreement the Seaboard irain was running not less than 20 miles an hour w!.cn the crash came. The excur sion train had passed the Sea board just out of town also, and o the crew of the Seaboard must have known there was a Southern train just ahead, an additional rea son why they should have been 011 guard. J. A. CREWS TAKES LIFE BECAUSE OF FAILING HEALTH. Winston. Aug. 12 Mr. J. A. Crews, while in a despondent mood, produced by ill health and reverses in business, committed suicide last nighlt at his home in Fairiew by shooting himself through the heart.
