two people killed. Hv- fatally Injnu-d
and two badly wounded Is the fright-
ful resnll of a wreck which occiiriet-
at 7:30 o'clock Sunday mornin u on
tlie Ilirminghain Mineral road i. ly-
seven miles from this city.
The wreck is regarded o almost cer-
tainly necomplisli.il ly th rcmmiil of
fi mil on the m'ddlc span of the trestle.
This derailed the train. ihich caused
It to fall between two spans and pre-
elplttited it iiit . the river 110 feet l-
low. The wreck was the worst that
lias over occurred in the state and thfc
survivors are so few and aw so badly
hurt that they are unable to (five any
detailed description of how it all hap-
pened. It is notknown and may never
bo ascertained just how many passen-
gers were on the train. Most of them
were miners ami residents of mining
towns in this district who bud round
trip tickets and were returning to lhlr
homes along the line of the lliriuiug-
ham Mineral road.
Conductor Connell. who pr.ib.ihly
knew better thnn anyliody clue us to
how many passengers were aboard is
dead. It is thought however there
woro not exceeding twenty-live or
thirty. Hut one passenger purchased
a ticket nt Itlriiiinghiim
The ill-fitted train was a local pas
senger which left here at 0:30 a. in.
and was scheduled to make a circuit of
tho lllrminghnm Mineral which in a.
brunch line of the Louisville and Nash
ville roud reaching tiie mining towna
in the district T'ie train consisting
of an engine a baggage enr and two
couches left here ut (: 10 a.m. and
wont to Tnceo. on the main line of
the Louisville and Nashville. There
it switched off to the Itlrmingham
Mineral truck nud went to Gucrncy
and from Guerni'.v to Hlocton.
Six miles south of (iucrncy in the
Cahaba river a shallow mountain
stream which ha a depth at this time
of only alout three or -four feet This
river fs spanned by an iron bridge with
wooden trestles on each side Its en-
tire length is S00 feet and the length
of tlie main spun where the wreck
occurred. Is 110 feet. The bridge was
built only four years ugo nnd w.is re-
garded as n very safe structure. Tho
main i.pan and the spun just beyond it
both made of iron gave way and pre-
cipitated the entire train into the river.
The engine lauded on its side alinod
nt right angles with the track The
cars piled upon each other through tho
main span. The entire wreck took
llrr soon afterward and was tumidly
burned to the water's cigi.
When the ic lief train tirnved from
llirmingham nothing was left of tlie
wreckage- but the smouldering ruins
which had burned to the water's edge.
Charrod corpses were packed in be-
tween the iron framework where tlu
seats had been. Most of the bodlen
hud been burned beyond recognition.
Somo had their hands burned on and
of othors nothing was left but mere
skeletons. As rapidly as possible the
remains were taken out and laid in a
row on the river bunk.
At 4 o'clock twenty bodies had been
found nnd no more were in sight. It
is possible however that there ara
others under the wreckage and also
that some may be hid by the water.
Of the survivors Sam Sponoer was the
only one of the train crew that escaped
alive. lie was the colored fireman.
Ho jumped from the engine while it
was in midair and lauded Tn the water
some distance from where the engine
foil. His oniy injury was a broken
arm. He left the scene for Illoeton on
foot almost immediately after Mm
wroek apparently crazed with fright.
Tho railroad ofllcials have not jet
been able to mv him and get u stute-
lnont. Of the eight oilier survivors tin en
woro children all of whom had their
foot burned and mashed aud a lady
who hail both feet crushed Their
names have not yet bceu learned. I'lio
other three were Henry HaiidUiry
a conductor from Itiriningbam. ho
was taking his wife and two children
out for a ride around the eh cult and
Will Gardner and Andrew llryson
miners from Hlocton Haudberry wa.s
on the same seat with hi wife and
children when the crash came The
latter three weio killed and he wu-
niuued down aud would li.ive
been burned alive hud In- not
been icsvued by Hi son and
Oardner. These two men ulso
saved the unknown woman and time
children who were likewise pinned
and appealing piteously foi help but
by tlie time they hod rescued these
live persons the hrut had become so
intense that they were compelled to
desist in their work of rescue It is
thought that fuUy three fourths of the
dead were killed outright iu the crash
while the other five were pinioned
down and ere Misled. Gardner and
Hryson were both badly I. tut while
Handbury will probably die.
Tlie flume bail completed thewoik
of dostmotiou before any help arrived.
Tha oouutry around the scene of tins
aeeklont Is sparsely settled und th:
few farmers who heard of t he recii
and went to the scene arrived to lulu
to be of any assistance except u the
survivors.

Gardner says when lie felt the cars
leave tho traek he looked out aud . m
three savago looking men rus'u. b-
from a hiding place down toward tho
water's edge and that after the wreck
they went through the wreckage rob

Ah examination of the engine shows
that Engineer White had shut off the
strum and reversed before it went
down indicating that he saw danger
ahead us he approached the bridge and
tried to stop the train. His charred
body was found with his band on the
throttle.
I'liitl Tnetitj-nnvim ltoitlm.
A relief train with Superintendent
Crazier of the Southern rottd and eight
physicians nurses and supplies left
here at 10 o'clock a. m. for the scene of
thft TtloekUni wreck. The train re-
turned at 10 o'clock last night with
twenly-afven bodies. These corpses
are now nt the several different under-
taking establishments iu this city
awaiting Identification. All of the
bodlen. howerer are charred beyond
recognition.
On tho approaches of the same bridge
yesterday nftenioon another fatal ac-
cident occurred. A bridge carpenter
was killed and several nersons wero
injured by n collision betweeu an
engine and one of the wrecking trains
sent to tho rescue of the victims of the
first accident.
Kxport engineers sav there is every
Indication that a rsil tas removed
which derailed the train ahd caused it
to pull down the bridge. The cross
ties show marks of the wheels. To
add to this is the fact that three men
tried to wreck a .Southern railway
train near Henry Kllrii Jifleen miles
east of here by removing u rail on a
trestle ninety eet high.
The fast express left ttu track but
the engineer managed bjrsuperhunian
efforts to stop It before It toie down
the trestle. This was regarded as u
most remarkable escape. In this case
three men were seen running from tho
place and a crowbar With which tho
spikes had been withdrawn was found.

another attempt nt lynching is not
looked for until Lnnnhan's guilt is
inoro clearly ostabllshod iu which
ovont It is doubtful If cither eloquence
or force will avail to save tho wrcteli's

W llllo Gaines a H-yeur-old nego

right in the heart of tho city. Tlio
body was found In tho roar of Stamp-

was lying about tuenty-flve feet from

wero struck by somo blunt instrument;
the ubdmucn was cut almost entirely
away Tobo Lamilian. a negro who

Mr. Wasmansdorff was a member of

week ago as a result of the National
Hank of Illinois. The failure of his
bank had a crushing effect 'ipon Mr

sectcd his wife who was 111. The
banker for several days was unable to
eat or sleep. Tho criticism of unfor
tunate depositors weighed him down
and he was In a constant troubled
state of mind.
At the time of the failure tin- assets
of Mr. WasmansdoriV's bank were given
at SWO.OOO and tho liabilities at 3113-
000. Mr. WnsinansdorIT has been a
hanker in this city more than a quar-
