Wreck on the Seaboard. A very disastrous wreck accured on the Seaboard railroad last Tues day morning four miles beyond Blaney by a passonger train and a freight train colliding. Four per sons were killed and three were in jured. Ttye dead are : A. A. Srneck, engineer, /and Will White, the col ored fireman of the freight train, both of whom lived in Hamlet, aBd Postal Clerks H. A. Patillo of Os tern, Fla., and M. C. Walkins of Putnam Hall, Fla. Those injured are: John Robertson, the engineer, and Dan Douglas, the colored fire man, of the passenger train, both from Raleigh, and Expiess Messen ger D. ?. Hinton. i The freight crew had been on duty for more than 25 hours, and when the Florida Special passed them, the engineer, who had been asleep, awoke and inquired of the freight brcakman if No. 66 had pass ed, and was informed that it had passed. The flagman signalled the train out on the main line, and they left Hlaney at or near 6-45 o'plock. ( Tho operator at Blauevcame out of the station as the freight was leav ing tiO ask the conductor to have some shifting done, but the train was trt0 for to sign dQ?n $nd go the operator went to his instrument and | reported to the dispatcher at Co lubia that the freight had left Bla ney. The dispatcher replied that No 66 had left Columbta and that they would go^together. And the collision cafpe ? it vpas y.lfj o'clock. No. 66 came down a high grade and the freight came around a gbort pqrvef also down grade, aqd they met at the bottom, in a out. It is supposed that eaoh train was run ning about ^ miles au hour. Heroic Mr. Burroughs. Qf those who lived through it all, the negro fireman of the passenger train had a most marvfelnua and thrilling escape. ' He was hurled forward from his cab and buried beneath the moueter engine, held down so fast on all sides that he could not move, with the. boiling water from tbo broken pipes pour ing around him in scalding pools and the gass tank of the oars not ten feet away, whicft had taken fire and was shooting out long tongnen of flame. A* eoon as the first shook of the accident had passed, passen gers in the coaches ran forward to aasist those in danger. Mr. W. L. Burroughs, traveling passenger agent of the ?>eaboardj who was a passenger on tho tram, im with another passenger, the firsVlo reach the engines. They could hear the cries of the suffering (lreraaq as he begged' for help, but at first could not locate bim. With buckets of water caught from leaking tanks of the tenders they kept the fire from the gastanks from firing the wreck and Mr. Burroughs climbed down through the ma98 of wheels and steel to extricate tho ne gro from his dangerous and mis erable position. It was found, however, that the man was held fast and could not be released. Effort after effort was made by Mr. Burroughs and his fellows, assisted by a porter from one of the Pull* to get him out, but with our suocess. Finally a spade was fotottd. and the embankment was dug away ^ntl| a tunnel was cut to the suffering fireman and the ground under bia body was dug away so that he could be lowered below the pieces which held him. Straps were then taken from trunks in the baggage oar and buckled around his body and Douglass was. pulled out of danger by nam strength. No passengers were injured.
