TIIJE MORNING PASSENGER TRAIN GOES INTO A WASHOUT UELOW RIDGETVAV. Kujjineer W. J. Germany and His Fireman Killed?Kxpresit Messenger Hohuci Serious]r Injured. The eighty-four mile post, a point j oji the C. C. Sc A. Railroad just two miles below Ridgewav was the scene early Friday morning of tiie most horrible accident which lias occurred on this road in many years. The early morning combination freight and passenger train was derailed and Engineer AV. J. Germany and Fireman Henry were both killed, while express messenger Holmes was so seriously injured that it is feared he cannot recover. The details were very difficult to obtain, but we give !he following account as it was heard here. It was impossible for us t* get a man to the scene of the accident, as the southbound train had left before the news reached us. Ti e ill-fated train passed YVinnsboro about thirty u.inutes late and the i-ui.. ,,i_ engineer vrm pruuuuiy umi.'^ um utmost to make up tl.e lose. At the eighty-four mile p?st, two miles below Itidgeway, the track bad been undermined by the heavy flow of water and into this break the engine went at full speed carrying with it the engineer and fireman, neither of whom had time to do aurthiug to save himself. The engine turned over and boriod beneath \t? weight both of tl.e occupants of tl.e cab, and from the positions of their bodies when found it is safe to pay their death /vas in.Untaneous. Several of the freight car* immediately behind the engine were thrown lr?iri the track. It is thought that the wonderful e^cipe of the passengers is due entirely to t lie fact that these cars being between the locomotiYe and the pis^onyer coaches received the full force of the sd.ock. Express Messenger ii?)lu)tt5 douhtie.-h received his injuries by being thrown violently against the oide of his car or being crushed by some of his Lczvy freight. Washouti on this road are very rare and none ol the train officials suspected attxihiigof the kind or apprehended a wreck from (hat cause. The ritrih-bound truin passed safely, but at that time the water, which was rushing along the bank like a torrent, had not done its work. The bodies of thu victims could not l>e gotten from beneath the wreck for several hour*. No trains pa>?t-d the washout Fr;la^, and all passengers, mai1, express, ^ - f > etc., naa to ue uansierrtu. Blame cannot, of comae, be attached :o the railroad company, as it was one ?f those unfoitnnate accidents which *re baud to occur. Jack Germany, who met death at his post of duty, was perhaps the most popular and widely known engineer sa this division, and the railroad com1 1 .. pai;y nas sunercu a vcrj socj c [Ie was a member of the 12th Regiment, and throughout the war did rallant service with that command. LATER. Passengers on the north-bound train, which did not arrive here until nearly eight o'clock Friday evening, say that the wreck is a alu.ost fearful looking sight. The washout is fifty feet or more wide. The fireman's t>odv was badly mangled. Germany was found seated in his place. His body gava eridcnce of scalding. Llolmes is not so badly injured as was first thought. RIDGE WAY NKM's. X Uojjus Drummer Gets in S?iue Good W*rk-?Other >'?te? of Interest. Ridgewat, S.
