A serious rear-end collision betwee* two local freights occurred Monday morning about 6 o'clock on the Southern railway between Greers and Tay- < lors. It appears that both trains wera ? Hill early Monday morning, a fire was caused outside of the telephone office which called for the fire department** attention. The damage to the telephone system put all telephones in the city except those on Main street out of service. Some were burned out entirely. It is difficult to estimate the financial loss. The street lights were out and the large force of men seeking for the crossed wires were unable to find them. This is the second blow to the telephone system within a week. Muclt damage was done recently by the blixzard, and the company had not quite finished the work of reparing.

The colored fireman on 'thaf rear train was badly hurt and is not expected to live. Physicians were summoned immediately and went to tlin scene of the accident. Mr. F. G. Trefzer, the well known, jeweler, who mysteriously disappeared from Union on Tuesday afternoon, February 7th, was late Thursday afternoon < found in the Fair Forest creek and evi- , dently committed suicide while in a ^ state of mental aberration, as a wound was found near his heart. For a week * the keenest anxiety has Drevailed and searching parties have scoured the country, but though maEy idicatioms pointed to his body being in the creek* nothing could be really done, as ths stream was greatly swollen on account of the recent melting of the snows, and not until Thursday afternoon was It possible to take out a boat and institute a thorough search. His body wan discovered about 4:15 and the wound near his heart was apparently m^de by a 38-calibre pistol ball. The discovery was made by J. E. Mabry at the bend in the creek, a stream about six miles west of Union, half a mile below the bi* Rice bridge. The body was kept under water by some willow trees.
