COnclusioxs Based on Testimony Ta4.
en in Connection With "McMas
ter's Ourve" Accident.
The railway commission in a report
issued Yesterday strongly condeined
the Pleged lax methods in the office
pf train operators and dispatchers
-14llowed a general entrance into
es and permitted an examina
on of the books used for copying or
. The report, which will be filed
wit the general assembly, condemn
present system of issuing or
ders 2 Conductors which, it stated,
was re 1onsible %for the mwaeek #on
Sunday, et. 14, near Winnsboro, in
which fol men were killed. The re
port is as ollows:
It was s own that the wreck was
in the natur of a head-on collisiott
between fast through freight 74,
northbound, an a light engine, 1026,
"running extra.' They came together
on 149Mastep's cury'e two miles north
of Winnsboro, the extra's entire crew
of three being killed and two men
bers of the regular train 's crew ser
iously hurt. Both locomotives were
badly damaged, nine box cars were
totally destroyed and between 150
and 200 feet of track torn up.
The killed were.- D; M. Dixo'n, con
duotor on extra; James T. McPherson,
fireman of extra; Henry Pyle, en
gineer on extra.
The injured were: James W.!Price,
engineer on 74; Cfiarles D. Weir,
brakman ,on 74; Henry Gates (color
ed), fireman on 74. (Henry Gates af
ter wards died from the effects of the
injuries.)
In response to summons of the
commission there appeared at this of
ficd, on the morning of the 7th of
November, at 10 o'clock, Assistgnt
General Superintnedent J. N. Seale,
Division Superintendent H. A. Wil
liams, Conductor E. L. Murphey, En
gineerJames G. Price, Brakeman C.
D. Weir, Telegraph Operators H. E.
Bolick and J. M. Daniels, E. P. Beard,
E. W. Bellenger, S. H. McLure and
others.
After full examination of the wit
nesses the opinion of the board is that
the said collision was due to OperAtor
Daniels at the train dispatcher's or
flee at the union depot not pursuing
order No. 64, given Operator Bolick
at telegraph office at Blanding street,
until he received signature to said
order for No. 74, and that Operator
H. E. Bolick having received ordeil
No. 64 for train No. 74 in sonic way
allowed this order to be lost or other
wise misplaced, and therefore did not
deliver said order to the crew of No.
74 and it is therefore evident that
these facts are the prime cause of the
accident.
While it was not brought out by
the testimony in this particular ae
cident, Operator Bolick stated that
there was often great confiusion In
the ofce of the telegraph operator be
cause lhe could not keep the call boys
and other employes of the railroad
companly out of the omeie, and that
was one way he may have lost sight
of order No. 64.
We desire to emphasize the fact
that the railroad authorities -should
make it the duty of some especial of
ficial to inspect the offee of telegraph
operators to see the strict privacy of
this offie be maintained without any
exception.
J. H. Wharton,
Chairman.
B. L. Caughman,
Jno. H. Earle,
Commissioners.
The report is by far one of the
strongest papers yet issued on causes
of wrecks. It is along the line of
testimony brought out at the hearing
and, according to Southern railway
offeials, wvill result in radical changes
in office rules for train dispatch rs.
The Pity of It.
In ,New York a day or two ago
a young poet of the name of Lawrence
Lewis committed suicide in one of the
hotels. HIe is described as being about
24 years old, talented, handsome, with
classical features, and the author of
a number of songs and several dramas
of merit. When lie killed himsolf lie
was Ylressed in a threadbare suit ,ot
clothes and had 40 cents in his pock
ets. Certain letters found in the room
indicated that he had been disap
through his head. Meanwhile te
literary productions. With starva
tion staring him in the face, he had
put an end to it all with a bullet
*gentleman with the bull neck and
heavy jowl was, feasting down stairs
P1n the. fat of .the land. The man of
brains and imagination up-sts'irs was
driven to death' to escape starvng,
while the Wall street speculator, with
no soul above a 'dollar, was provided
with oery creature comfort that
heart could wish or appetite suggest.
It's d,ifilicult for a woman to love a
