August llth, un automobile traveling north of Route No. 137 at Sherwood, Ohio, ran into the west end of the first cur behind the locomotive of un euMtbound perishable and merchandise train en route from Chicago to New York, certain parts of the automobile being torn off and ! Kitting under this car, resulting in itb derailment and the derajlment of thirty-two other loaded earn, or u total of thirty-three earn, with damage to earn and ludlcig of $44,320 and truck and Interlocking of $4,650, or a total dumuge of $4K,070. Ah a result of thiu accident the westbound truck wuh blocked for a period of twenty-one houra and the eustbound track for forty-live hours, causing serious delay to traffic, which was detoured via foreign lines at an additional cost, which will rouke the total cost or this derailment in excess of $150,000. Tills croslng is protected by a warning sign and un electric ulurm crossing bell. The Conductor of the wrecked train advised that the driver of the motor car told hinf that he did not hear the bell or see the train until too cloAe, as he had the radio in his automobile turned on. The car wus occupied by three persons and the OTily personal injuries were slight cuts and bruises to two people. Tills accident occurred on a double track railroad and bad there been a passenger train passing or approaching on the opposite track at the time of this derailment, the result would have been very serlotis. 1 As the tall of the hurricane went out upon the Atlantic again, between Charleston and Savannah, the damage was slight, compared with the results in tlie Florida keys. The wind reached 55 miles an hour at Beaufort, and was not over that vejocity anywhere. About 125 boats were anchored in safety thereabouts, and some damage was done to light structures In the town. At Georgetown, tiees and wires were blown down, and at Pawley's Island some cottages were damaged by waves, but at Myrtle Beach no damage occurred.
