Tho ac commodation freight, duo about this timo from Walhalla, had arrived at tho "luo Ridge yard and had cut off and was bringing to tho Southern yard sev eral cars and knew nothing of tho ap proach of Hughes' engiuo. Ou the other hand, Hughes knew tho schedule of tho freight, and was endeavoring to take a Biding, believing he had ample time. A curve in tho road prevented either engineer from seeing tho other until within about 75 yards of each other, and before tho engines could bo reversed the craBh came.
