+LOCOMOTIVE BLASTS 1

One of the worst wrecks ever occuring on the Henderson Division

1 took place last Saturday night when1tw freight trains running in oppo¬

site direction came together at apoint near Hopkinsville and the re-

sult¬

was that both enginesijvnd abontn dozen cars were badly tOrn upISome of the cars will be a totallossand it will require an outlay ofseveral thousand dollars to repairthe engines Who was to blame forthe disaster is not at this writingpositively known but so far as heardthe trainmen seem to bo innocentand as we understand tho dispatch¬

or is free from blame and it only re-

mains¬

a question of which one of thetwo operators are responsible

Trains were delayed about twelvehours A tank of coal oil which bursted Vnd from which the oil continuedto pour for several hours caused theofficials much uneasiness on accountof danger from coming in contactwith flroand thereby causing greaterloss of property and to prevent thismen were placed on guard to seethat no fire or lights were used nearthe pools of oil

Operator Sam Jamison was calledto tho wreck at Hopkinsville tohandle tho telegraph business whilewreckage was being cleared fromtrack

Leslie Reynolds formerly conduc ¬

tor on the Henderson Division hasgone north in search of a job rail-roading

¬

We wish him success

Agent Etheridge says the Goebelites at Sebree still refuse to give uptheir money bet and lost on election

dayTwo brakemen who lost their jobs

A great field for the Americanmanufacturer of locomotives is saidto be China as there is comparativetively speaking but few miles ofrailroad there and the United Stateshas secured an open market forAmerican product Both steel railand engines will be in great demandthere in the near future

Section Foreman Malone who wasrecently beaten by some bad darkiesat Hopldrisville has so far recovereciQl tLbeable for duty

The darkies of Hopkinsville andIvicinity reaped a rich harvest ofcoal oil last Saturday night when aStandard oil tank was bursted inthe wreck and thousands of gallonsran like wate rin a stream

The many friends of Agent Mannof Pembroke will greatly regret tolearn that he will be held responsi-ble

¬

for the wreck near Hopkinsvillelast Saturday He is one of the oldestagents now on this division and hasalways proved himself worthy ofevery trust and we do hope the com-pany

¬

will deal leniently with himThe Louisville and Nashville Rail ¬

Under the influence of the U M

only another evidence of the factthat it matters not how much theyare granted they are always readywith another demand regardless ofthe consequences that follow suchunnecessary legislation They dontstop to count the cost before theyrush headlong Thousands of dol-

lars¬

extra expense placed on theoperator yearly will not affect themthey seem to think What isfor tho operator is good for the minerrwhen viewed frona business standtpoint and a burden placed upon acorporation is bound to be felt bythe employet
