[Greenville Nows.] Fireman H. J. Hamilton, of Atlanta, was killed in a derailment of No. ll, the local passenger over tho Southern Kail way shortly after leaving Central at 7 o'clock last Friday evening. Engineer .? )' Neal esc iped without serious hurt, but laggagernaster R. G, Chestnut was hurt ind also the mail clerk in charge, whose lame could not be ascertained by the railway authorities. No passongors wore injured as well as the authorities at the scene of the wreck could ascertain. Tho cause of the wreck is a mystery ; md it may never be solved. Where the big locomotive of the Pacific typo loft thc ails there was nothing to causo it to jump. There was not a switch in half a milo and while 'here wore slight curves in that section, the engineer was not ex ceeding the limit of speed to bo made in Hiifoty ovor tho liuo. Division .superintendent McManus ar rived at Central about 1? o'clock last night with a derrick from Atlanta and wont to work at once in ropairiug tho (track and removing tho debris. Tho track waa cleared shortly af ter midnight. It was found that three cars followed the locomotivo when it loft tho rails, and the mail, baggage and express cars tm ned over with the eogiue. Tho second class passenger coach did not go down, though it left tho rails. This accounts for the oscapo of tho passengers. Tho wreck is one ot those things that railway autlioritien are unable to explain. To-day with the aid of daylight they may discover tho cause, but last night they wore in ignorance of any reason for the locomotive loaviug the heavy stool rails There is always possibility of foul play, ult nothing was found thal night to lead o tho bollol that train wreckers had been it wink.
