Saturday morning at Denmark [he through freight of the Atlanlic Coast Line, ruuning between Augusta and Florence was wrecked at tiie Southern Railway crossing. It seems as if Engineer 13 utler is responsible, as it is reported he was asleep at the time. At Denmark the tracks of the Coast Line crosses the Florida, Central and Peninsular and the Southern within 300 yards of each other. The crossing at the Florida, Central and Peninsular lc an rnvtin.irv Onp. hilt, at the Southern a '-derailing switch1' is used which must be adjusted by an operator stationed there for that purpose, who, at a signal from the whistle of the engine, adjusts the rails. This is done to compel all trains to stop. Those who saw the accident say that Engineer Butler did not stop at the Florida Central and ?-> - I. - 1 remnsuiar crossing, ncunci uiu lie blow any sitrnal as he approached the Southern, and the consequence is that his engine is now lying on its back at the bottom of a 10-foot embankment and eight box cars partially wrecked.
